ORIGINAL CORRESPONDENCE.

(TO THE EDITOR OF THE OAjMARU MAIL. ) Sir, —Permit me through your paper to dire t the attention of the public to the following. At the request of a member of my congregation, unable to pay, and suffering with eyes nearly blind and inflamed many years, I applied to Professor Wallenburg for advice and treatment gratis. He with generosity and kindness readily granted the favor. I made the application because I had learned from other clergyman that the Professor is ever ready to give his services to the poor when asked to do so by any person on whose honesty he can rely i n being assured that no deception is being practised on him. This person was under the care of several medical men, but without any beneficial result. Professor Wallenburg has had the case under treatment for about ten days, and now the eyes are perfectly well, and the person is likely to be able to earn a livelihood, to the great delight of all his friends wiiose lasting gratitude Professor Wallenburg has earned. I know of my own knowledge three others who benefited very much by the treatment of the worthy Professor. I write this letter without the slightest request from and person ; but I consider it a duty owing to the Professor's kindness ; and I recommend those suffering in eye or ear to apply to him whilst they have the present favorable opportunity. I hereby tender my best thanks to Professor Wallenburg for his charity to the afflicted poor.—l am, &c., Wm. Coleman, Roman Catholic Clergyman.
