OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Blindness and Deafness. The skill of Dr. Wallenburg as an oculist ha 3 ju3t 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 at;o a little girl, whose parents reside at Winion, 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 as to whether he would be justified in taking the case in hand, but he finally decided to do so, and bis 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 home to her parents. —Southland Daily News, Dec. 3rd, 1870. The Eye and Ear.— Professor Wallen burgh is effecting some marvellous cures in cases of blindness and deafness. At his invitation we 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 lie went from bad to worse. Placing himself under Professor YVallenburg's treatment he speedily came round, and yesterday could distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading Richard Atkinson, of Invercargill, who had been treated in Duuoflin and Melbourne for impaired eypsight, also bore testimony to the Professor's skill. Ho had been totally blind of one eye, the other one being considerably affected, but could now distingnish the time on a clock a couple of chains off. Mrs. \Y. .Jerrett, of liivcrtou, was the next patient introduced. She stated that she !ik<l hecn sufcrinii'-fromdc," fue-s for the last- '■ i\ years, cud during that time her husband hr.d expended l'ke LI GO in endeav<:riri'4 to effect a cure. Under Professor WrUi-n'-cig's treatment slie had so rar recrnviTid !is-r hearing that >he could without diiliculty hear a watch ticking. H. Rates was t'u iipatient consulted; he had been tt.l.i' y dc.f <>! <me ear for fourteen years, the unking from an a!:tack ■'" scarlet fever. In iCiiglaud his esse iw; regarded a.-> "a hopele-s one, and thi3 was the more serious since the lemaining one was commencing to /•ynipa:hise with t!ie affected one. He had Vniy been under the Professor's treatment a few days, and could now hear perfectly well. Constable Buchanan also states that the oculist has succeeded in curing him of partial deafiie-s. These are afe v patients in<li; criminatrly singled out from the patients m the consulting rocJm, and they certainly go to show thr.t the Professor is thoroughly up to his business. At present he lias 75 (aticnts under treatment We would st rongl v .irtvi'C all who are afflicted with blindness or de fness to pay this oculist a visit, and at once, since his stay here is limited.— Southland Times, Nov. 25, 1579. The Evening Tribunp, of October 18, says : Professor Wallenburg and Dr. ('.rant have again effected some more marvellous cuies 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 f6r 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 brickmaker, residing at Pelichet Bay, stated that ho had been blind o£ 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 week.-, and can now discern the smallest object with both eyes. Patrick Connor, a miner, residing at Hindon, was the next patient consulted.. Hp had been totally blind of the riaht eye for three months, and 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 simpfe humanity and charity ; consequently, Professor Wallenburg and Dr. Grant .ar&~ deserving of the thanks of the community for the kindness and charity displayed in these cases.-—Tuapeka Times, November loth, 1879.
