Their names arc Mr Nicholas Power and Mr James McGrath, both of Waimatc. The first-mentioned had been deaf in one car for II years. On Wednesday last he visited the doctor, and obtained some relief. On Thursday he was perfectly cured, a grass seed and an accumulation of skin which had gathered around it having been extracted. He told us that he could hear better with the ear that had been operated upon than he could with tire other. The last-mentioned visited the doctor at the same time. He was slightly deaf in the left and totally deaf in the right car.

Now, he can hear it at a distance of a foot, although his car is stopped with wadding. (“Oaruaru Mail,’’ Dee. 1(5.) To thcEditor. Sm, —About Professor Wallonburg and his cures. lam glad that in previous issues you have called attention to the work and remarkable success of the Professor in a few days of his residence in this town. I only just “wish to say that I can confirm the tiuthtnllncss of several of the eases mentioned by you, for I have seen the patients myself. I would like to urge on all the people of Oamaru and neighbourhood the importance of having any affection of those parts of the body which he specially treats attended to at once, or when he has gone they will regret that they did not avail themselves of his skill. Such men as he are a blessing to humanity. Hoping this may lead to the relief of some sufferer or sufferers, I am, Ac. CitAS. E. Barley. (“ Oamaru Mail,” Dee. 22.) Mr James Gibson, a shepherd employed at Station Peak called upon us this morning, and requested us to bear testimony to the fact that he has been cured of almost total deafness by Professor Wallonburg. He had been more or less deaf for 80 years, hut for the last 20 years his hearing has been getting gradually worse. Ten days ago Mr Gil>sou placed himself under the treatment of the Professor, and has so far recovered that he experiences no difficulty in hearing ordinary conversation. At the same time Professor Wallenburg introduced to us Mr William McKen/ie, of Kakanui. He had been so deaf for 13 years that he had been unable to hear ordinary sounds. On Saturday last he became a patient of the Professor's, and obtained immediate relief. His hearing is now as perfect as could be desired. (“ Oamaru Mail,” Dee. 29.) To the Editor. Sir,-- Permit me through your paper to direct the attention of the public to the following. At the request of a member of my congregation , unable to pay, and suffering with eyes nearly blind and inflamed many years, lapplied to Professor Wallenburg for advice and treatment gratis. He, with generosity and kindness readily granted the favor. I made the application because I had learned from other clergymen that the professor is ever ready to give his services to the poor when asked to do so by any person on whose honesty he can rely in being assured that no deception is being practised on him. This person was under the care of several medical men, but without any beneficial result. Professor Wallenburg lias had the ease under treatment for about ten days, and now the eyes are perfectly well and the person is likely to be able to earn a livelihood, to the great delight of all his friends, whose lasting "gratitude Professor Wallenberg has earned- I know of my knowledge three others who benefited very much by the treatment of the worthy Professor. I write this letter without the request of anyone; hut I consider it a duty owing to the Professor’s kindness; and I reccomcnd those suffering in eye or ear to apply to him whilst they have the present favorable opportunity. I hereby tender my best thanks to Professor Wallenburg for his charity to the afflicted poor,—l am Ac., Wax. Coleman, Homan Catholic Clergyman. The Eye and Ear. —Professor Wallenburg 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 Janies llobertson, of Morton Alains, 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 Wallenbnrg’s treatment he speedily came round, and yesterday could distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading distance Diehard 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 being considerably affected, but could now distinguish the time on a clock a couple of chains off. Airs W. Jerrett, of Hiverton, was the next patient introduced. She stated that she laid been suffering from deafness for the last six years, and during that time her husband had expended Homelike £1(50 in endeavoring to effect a cure. Under Professor Wallenburg’s treatment she had so far recovered her hearing that, she could without difficulty hear a watch ticking. H. N. Bates was the next patient consulted; he had been totally deaf of one ear for fourteen years, the deafness arising from an attack of scarlet fever. In England his ease was regarded as a hopeless one, and this was the more serious since the remaining ear was commencing to sympathise with the affected one. He had only deen under the Professor’s treatment a few days, and could now hear perfectly well. Constable Buchanan also states that the occulist has succeeded in curing him of partial deafness. These are a few patients indiscriminately singled out from the patients in the consulting room, and they certainly go to show that the Professor is thoroughly up to his business. At present he has 75 patients under treatment. AVo would strongly urge all who are afflicted with blindness or deafness to pay this oculist a visit, and at once, since his stay hero is limited. — “ Southland Times,” Nov. 25, 1879.
