OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Blindness and Deafness. The skill of Dr. Wallenburg as an oculist has juit been exhibited in a most satisfactory manner by his successful treatment of what was perhaps one of the most difficult cases which he has dealt with since his arrival in Invercargill. Eight or nine days r.uo a little girl, whose parents reside at Winton, was brought to town by a relative in the hope that relief might be afforded. The child, who had been under medical treatment, but without improvement, for about ten weeks previously, was found to be suffering from acute inflammation of the right eye. The sight seemed to be completely lost, and the doctor was at first doubtful :;s to whether he would be justified in taking the case in hand, but he finally decided to do so, and his efforts have resulted most happily, the little patient being now able to use the injured eye with as much freedom as the other, and her relative, from whom the foregoing particulars were obtained, was to-day informed that she might be taken homo to her parents.—Southland Daily News, Dec. 3rd, IS7D. The Eye and Ear. — Professor Wallen burgh is effecting some marvellous cures in cases of blindness and deafness. At his invitation wo visited the consulting rooms at the Albion Hotel, yesterday morning, when we conversed with two or three out of a total of about thirty patients present. The first case brought under notice was that of •James Robertson, of Morton Mains, who was suffering from heavy films in both eyes. He assured us that for the past six years he had suffered acutely, and during four years of that period he had been under medical treatment without receiving any benefit;—in fact he went from bad to worse. Placing himself under Professor Wallenburg's treatment ho 3peedily came round, and yesterday could distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading distance. Richard Atkinson, of Invercargill, who had been treated in Dunedin and Melbourne for impaired eyesight, also bore testimony to the Professor's skill. He had been totally blind of one eye, the other one being considerably affected," but oouid n<nv distinguish the time on a clock a couple ot chains off. Mrs. VY. .Jerrett, o" lliverton, was the next pa'ient introduced. She stated that she had been suffering from deafness for the last six years, and during that time her husband iiad exoended something l'ke Ll6O in endeavoring to effect a cure. Under Professor \Yallon';erg"s treatment she had so f-..r recovered lu r hearing than ?he could without difficulty hear a watch ticking. E. 2s. Bates v. as t;.e nuit patien'; consulted; he had been ti.iaiiy " of one car for fourteen y<»vs. the deafness aWsiny uii iuitack o? scarlet fever. In Kngland his esse was regarded as a hopeless one, and this was the more serious since the remaining one was commencing to sympathise with tfte affected one. He had only been under the Professor's treatment a few days, and could no-.i'hear perfectly well. Constable Buchanan also states that the ocuiisc has succeeded in curing him of partial deafness. These are a, fe * patients indiscriminately singled out from the patients m the consulting room, and they certainly go to show thst tho Professor is thoroughly uo to his lmsinoL-s. At present he has 75 j.atients under treatment We would strongly are all who are afilicted with blindness or ile fness to ;>>y this oculi-t a and at once, since his stay here is limited.— SouthlandTimea, Nov. 23, 1579. The Evening Tribune, of October IS, says : Professor Wallenburg aud Dr. (irant have again effected some more marvellous cuics in blindness. The editor of this journal, accompanied by Mr. J. J. Connor, visited the oculists' consultingrooms at the Criterion Hotel this morning. The first person the editor conversed with was Daniel Mahoney, a laborer, residing at Logan's Point, who stated that he had been totally blind for some two weeks, through a severe cold he had contracted. He had been under private treatment for a week, but he got worse instead of better. He was brought to Professor Wallenburg on the 11th inst,, and, since then he has been under this clever oculist's treatment, with the result that he is now recovering the sight of both eyes. John Chalmers, a brickmakcr, residing at Pelichet Bay, stated that he had been blind of the right eye for over nine weeks, and the left one was beginning to become affected by the right one. He was under treatment at the Hospital, but -without any beneficial result. He has been under Professor Wallenburg's treatment three weeks, and can now discern the smallest object with both eyes. Patrick Connor, a miner, residing at Hindon, was the next patient consulted. He had been totally blind of the rkht eye for three mouths, aud had been in the Hospital under treatment, which, he states, tended to make the right eye worse, and to injure the left one. He went under Professor Wallenburg's treatment on the 9th October, and now he is perfectly cured, and intends starting to follow his calling on Monday next. The cases that are instanced above are ones in which the patients went to the oculists entirely destitute of funds, and were treated out of simple humanity and charity ; consequently, Professor Wallenburg and Dr. Grant are deserving of the thanks of the community for the kindness and charity displayed in these cases.—Tuapeka Times, November 15 th, 1879.
