H n^ T - Dea |noss noises in the Head, Defective Sight, Cataracts, Amaurosis, Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Loss of Eyelashes, la lammation, and al -Diseases , of .the Eye Ear and Jiiboai treated upon new and scientific principles, at their Consulting Rooms, CRITERION HOTEL. PRIVATE ENTRANCE TO CONSULTING ROOMS, MORAY PLACE. Opinions of the Press. Graftoti Argus. — Blindness and Deafness. "We can now speak positively as to the skill of Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenburg. Yesterday afternoon we saw two cases under treatment in which a cure is certain. The first was that of a man named Henry Cullcrne, suffering from deafness and heavy ulceration in both ears for a period of nine years. He has been treated only three days, the ulceration has healed, the discharge from the ears stopped, and the man s hearing improved in a wonderful degree. We have seen the man under treatment, and have these particulars from his own lips. In the second ca*e, equally good results have been achieved. A young man (George Albury), a bushman, came into Gafton, intending to pioceed to Sydney for treatment for almost total bhndnes, but as in the first case, he saw Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenburg's advertise" ment , and decided to give them a trial. Since his birth he has been completely blind in his left eye, and the Doctor and Professor at once old him nothing could be done for that. The right eye has been nearly blind for twelve years ; as Albury described it, it appeared as if a caf of a tree fell across the sight. la fact, an opacity had coveted the eye, and the eyelid had nearly closed. He has been four days under reatment, and is now able to raise the eyelid to the fullest extent in the strongest light, and yesterday could sec the strokes of a pen made on aper, at a distance of fully eighteen inches, as also a single hair— aud this in a partially darkened room. Excepting a slight weakness consequent upon the severe treatment the eye has undergone, the sight is now restored to its natural state. Albury speaks in very prateful terms of the good these gentlemen have done him, and in a short time will be fully cured. Such instances as these cannot be spoken of as luck, and clearly demonstrate that Dr. Grant and Professor Wallcnburg are fully competent to carry out what they profess. During our visit ssveral otner patients were under treatment, in all of whom a partial if not a perfect cure will be effected." Capricornlan, Rockhampton. It is not surprising that, as Dr. Grant and Professor Walllenburg's skill as oculists, aurists, and specialists becomes more widely Known, their practice is greatly extended. From many sources the evidence is increasing of the cures they have effected even during the very short time they have been in Rockhampton. In order to make further inquiries into the case previously reported, as well as to note any reatures ot interest regarding new patients?, we yesterday morning visited Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenburg's Consulting Rooms, in East Btrcet. Un entering the room, Mrs. Lewis. oE George Street, a patient who was previously mentioned as having been six years almost totally mind was leaving. This woman has been completely cured for nearly a fortnight, but at the request of the Doctor and Professor returned tna. tney might see how her eyes were continuing. The eyes were pertectly clear, the sight as fully restored as ever it was, and to those who naa seen them a month ago the change was equally astonishing and gratifying. Miss Elizabeth Madden, who was also previously alluded to as being obliged to give up her occupation of dressmaking, is fully restored to her sight, and the patches of white which darkened her pupils are completely removed. James Pascoc, an old resident of the town, has not been able to see in the right eye for fifteen years, having lost the signt or it through cold and inflammation contracted during the first flood in Rockhampton. After five or six visits to Dr. Grant and Protessor Wallenburg, the sight in this eye has been restored. This man's wife, Sarah Pascoe, has been totally blind in the right eye for ten months, and the sight was almost gone in the other, being able to see only at the one side. This eye is now "almost well, and on closing it and looking with eye formerly blind she could see the water in the river. William Brewer has been totally deaf in the right ear for the past six years. He has been only a few times under treatment, and could hear the ticking of a watch at the distance of a foot from the ear. i,harles Clayton, a carpemcr, formerly working at Blackall and on the Barcoo, got cold in the eyes by sitting in a draught. The result was total loss ot sight nine months ago, during which time he has been trying one medical man after another in vain. When he came to Drs. urant and Y\ allcnburg, his eyes were m a fiightful condition, aud it is a wonder the man retained his reason through his terrible sufferings. Jic nas been about twelve days under treatment, and in a darkened loom he can soe perfectly well. Gustav Ernst, a cabinet-maker's apprentice in the employment of Mr. M'Kcnny, upholsterer, received an injury to his left eye when only one year old. by a whirlwind carrying a pure ot stick against it. The eye had been totally useless since, but Drs. G. and W. Lave lestored the sight. Cases mi«'ht be multiplied indefinitely, but these, all of which we have seen, should be sufficient to remove doubt from the most sceptical. It should be remembered, too, that nearly all the patients who come to Dr. Grant and the Professor have been under unsuccessful treatment cNewhore, which, in most cases aggravates the onginal symptoms and renders the cure more difficult. Any persons aibieted with loss of bight or hearing should give tiiese gentlemen a trial. If they are iuc-uiable they will at once be told so ; but if it is in the power of professional -kill, built up by long study and thirty years experience, we have every confidence that these gjntleinen will give invaluable relief."'
