An instance came under our notice on I 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. 27.1§79. Mr. Earnest D'EgvilleMichau 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. Grants treat ment ten or eleven days when he found that he could see large objects at some dis tance. Mr. Michau states that he had been under the treatment of some of the best medical men at home, but had not received the least benefit. ; We are at all times chary of accepting details of " Wonderful cures," but the young man who called at our office appeare 1 to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gantfor the relief \v}yich. ho has already enperienced.—Afyiu &eq imx&Tims, D6c. 25, 1879.'

"ALUABLE DISCOVERY for the HAIR. A very nicely perfumed Hairdressing, called THE MEXICAN HAIR NEWER, now being sold by most Che mists and perfumers througout the coun try, at 3s. 6d. per bottle, is fast super ceding all the old restorers and dyes for the purpose of changing gray or white hair to its natural original color, for it will positively restore the hair in every case of greyness to its original color, with out dyeing it or leaving that offensive smell which most of the hair preparations of the day do. This preparation has never been known to fail in restoring the hair to its natural color and glosgfin from eight to twelve days. It promotes growth and. prevents the hair falling out, eradicating dandruff, and leaving the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It imparts peculiar vitality to the roots of the hair, restoring it to its youthful freshness and vigor." Daily applications of this preparation for a week or two will surely restore faded! grey, or white hair to its natural color and richness. It is not a dye, nor does it con tain any coloring matter or offensive substance whatever. Hence it does not soil the hands, the scalp, or even white linen, but produces the color withiu the substance of the hair.

GOCKLE'S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS— These Pills consist of a careful and . peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure BX; tract of the flowers of the camomile. They will be found a most efficacious remedy for derangement of the digestive [ organs, and for torpid action of the liver and bowels, which produce indigestion and the several varieties of bilious and liver complaints. They speedily remove the irritation and feverish state of the , stomach, allay spasm,. correct the morbid condition of the liver and organs subser vient to digestion, promote a due and healthy secretion of bile, and relieve the constitution of all gouty matter and other impurities, which, by circulating in the blood, most injuriously afiect the action of the kidneys ; thus, by removing the causes productive of so much discomfort, « they restore the energies of both body and mind. To those who indulge in the luxuries of the table these pills will prove highly useful, occasioning no pain in their action, unless they meet with an unusual quantity of acrid bile and acid matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they , are recommended as a preservative against the fatal diaordera peculiar to tropical climates.
