Medical. deafness to pay this oculist a visit, and at once, since his stay here is limited. — “ Southland Times,” Nov. 25, 1879. (From “North Otago Times,” Oamaru, Dec. 18, 1879.) There would seem to be some foundation for the merits claimed for Professor Wallenburg’s treatment of diseases of the eye and ear, if we may judge by the results in several cases that have fallen under our notice. These are the days of discoveries, and possibly the Professor may have come across some special remedy for the diseases of the eye and ear, or he may only be a an intelligent, nliarp-sighted man, better able than the generality of his fellows to see where the evil he would cure is best to be grappled with. At any rate, several longstanding cases which have only been under his treatment fora week are already beginning to show' good signs of total cure, and are really worthy of some notice by an impartial observer. The first of these is that of James Beale, who was formerly of the Cape Mounted Bilies, and lost the sight of one eye 11 years ago in Africa, and who was treated in vain by several army doctors when there, and by some medical practitioners in Weymouth, England. About a week ago he came to the Professor totally blind with one eye and partially so with the other, which had begun to suffer in sympathy. He is now able to read small print with either eye, and in a few days, judging from appearances, will be completely cured. Another case is that of a son of Andrew Meldrum, a baker of Oamaru. This boy, who has boon partially blind for several years, and has been operated upon and treated without any beneficial effect by several New Zealand professional men, applied to the Professor about a week ago, and can now begin to see again very fairly, and is to all intents and purposes perfectly cured. Mrs Kcnahan’s case is an interesting one, both for the rapidity and the completeness of the cure of a most painful and seemingly hopeless malady. This lady when she applied to the Professor was afflicted by the most violent inflammation of the right eye which was swollen as big as an egg. and continually discharging an offensive matter. She was in great agony, and had not slept for more than a week. The sight was completely gone, and worse than all, the other eye beginning to show signs of suffering from a like disorder. Sage medicos, who had attended her from the commencement of the complaint with a slight inflamation caused by a cold, began to beg her to make up her mind to looso both eyes, as no cure could be found. However, she is doing well now, at all events, with the swelling reduced, and the sight partially restored;in the one eye, and the other as well as ever it was. George Gorden, a man of 79 .years of age, who was almost entirely deaf but a few days ago, can now hear words spoken in a low voice from the other side of the room, while the two children of Mr Townsend, who have suffered from deafness for a long time, can now hear the tick of a watch. These cases are certainly interesting, as effectual cures of old standing diseases, after some of them have defied all the skill of the general practioner, and whether the cure is due to the remedy or the matter of treatment it is equally worthy of praise.

Tis sad to think of debts wrote off, And the creditors all in tears, The debtor in hope of the future thinks, And banishes all his fears.
