We can conscientiously recommed those suffering from deafness or other ailments that Dr. Grant has made a special study of, to pay him a visit, when, if curable patients, they may certainly expect relief. Au instance came under our notice on Thursday, in the case of a man named Charles Swanson, who had been very deaf for three years, but, after ten days’ treatment, can now hear perfectly even the lowest whisper. The cure is a rather remarkable one, as he had been under the care of many medical men, but has re ceived no benefit whatever from their treatment —New Zealander, Dec. 27, 1879. Mr. Earnest D'Egville Michau called at our office yesterday, and stated that he had been blind with the right eye all his lifetime. Hearing about Dr. Grant, the oculist, who is now on a visit to this city, he determined to give him a .trial. He had only been under Dr. Grant s treat ment ton or eleven days when he found that he could see large objects at some: dis tance., Mr. Michau states that he had under the treatment, of some of the beat medical men at home, but.had not received the least benefit. We are at ail time's chary of accepting details .of “ Wonderful cures,” but the young man who called at our office appearel to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he'-lia's'already experienced,—jVpm Zea land Dec, gfi, 187.9, ; Dr. Grant is also SPECIALIST in the DISEASES of WOMEN and CHIL DREN, ■' ■ • 428

She has especially studied the constitution and wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of this effort and practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime as nurse and physician, she has com pounded a SOOTHING SYRUP for Chil dren. It operates like magic, giving rest and health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming worid-renouned as a benefactor of her race. Children certainly do rise up and bless her. Especially is this the case in this city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are daily sold and used here.
