OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 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. An 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> 187:9. Mr. Earnest D‘Egville Michaii called at our office yesterday, and. stated that, he had been blind with the fight 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.; T He had only been under Dr. Grant s 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.
