S. Hawkins 1 Commercial. lloill, at his consulting rooms, Mr. G. Coombes 1 Commercial Hotel, FOR EIGHT DAYS ONLY. ° FOR FIVE DAYS ONLY. Opinions of the Press. Blindness and Drafiw.i.t. P>y the kind invitation of Professor Wallenburg and Dr. Grant, the Editor of this journal, in company with the Editor of the Saturday Advertiser, visited their consulting-rooms, at the Criterion Hotel, yesterday morning. The first case shown was that of a Miss White, aged eleven years, the daughter of a settler at Oamaru, who has been totally blind for years. This young lady has been under the treatment of these clever oculists for three days, and, wonderful to say, her eyesight has been perfectly restored. The father of the girl assured us that he had placed her under the care of several medical men, who had failed to do her any good, despite the money that he lavished upon her. The next was the case of a Miss Hughes, a Dunedin resident, who stated that she had been deaf for a period of over three years. Strange to say, she has only been under treatment for eight days, and her hearing has been fully restored. This fortunate girl is nearly in ecstacies over her good fortune. The next subject under treatment was a labourer named Patrick Francis, working at Logan's Point, who informed us that latterly he was struck in the right eye with a stone by which he lost his sight, and of late his left eye has been materially affected by the blind one ; bat, thanks to the skill of Professor Wallenburg, he has now recovered the sight of his two eyes, and is able to discern the smallest print. Hermann Schultz, of Hyde, was the last patient introduced. He stated that he had been totally deaf for years, and that he had only been under treatment for a few day, and now he could hpar plainly. The gentlemen have numerous other cases under treatment. The cases that we have instanced should be sufficient to remove any doubt from the most sceptical. All the patients that are now under threatment have been tampered with by the medical profession with no satisfactory result, and this in the major portion of the cases causes more aggravation, and makes effectual cure more difficult. The above cases clearly illustrate that Dr. Grant and Professor Wallenburg are, without doubt, what they profess to be — Oculists, Auiists, and Specialists. We would strongly recommend those who are either afflicted with blindness or deafness to consult the gentlemen at once as their stay here is limited.— Dunedin Tribune, September 24, J O / */. AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT. TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— You will much oblige me, as well as benefit the public in general, by inserting in your columns regarding the cure effected on my right eye which was totally blind when I placed myself under the treatment of Doctors Gm'nt and Wallenburg. I also found myself losing the sight ot the Icit e>c. I have now leeoveicd my sight, and am <-oing to work to mono.v. Out of gratitude to those gentlemen allow rue to thank them, and hope all those buttering in the eyes may aui.i themselves of then skill. —I am &c.° Patrick Francis. Witness — W. J. Bawden.
