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 notico 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 Die care, of many medical .men, but has re ceived no benefit whatever from tbeir 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 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 homo, 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 appeared to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he has already, experienced.—Veto Zea land Times, Dec. 25, 1879. Dr. Qrant,has recently effected, a very remarkable cure in the case of Mrs. D. Evans, of Kumara, who has been under his treatment for deafness since Feb. 14, last. Mrs. Evans has been deaf in both ears for a very long period—no less than, thirty years—her affliction having been caused by a fever, from which she suffered severely. Since that time she has been almost .totally deaf, for she could only hear the the loudest sounds. Since she has been under Dr. Grant’s treatment her hearing has gradually improved, so that now she can hear plainly conversation in an ordinary tone of voice. . She will re turn in a few days to Kumara perfectly well, and in possession Of the full faculty' of • which she has been so long deprived; West Coast Times, March 10,1880. • One of -the employees in the Public Works office here has sent ris the follow-: ing testimonial to the skill of Dr. Grant. He says : —“I wish to let you know that Dr. Grant has greatly improved the hear ing of one of my ears, the membrane of which was injured some six years ago. I may add that two surgeons, whom I con- j suited a short time ago, considered the case incurable.” Dr. Grant has also been very successful in several difficult cases of disease of the eye. —Hokitika Times, March 23, 1880. There are amongst Dr. Grant’s success ful eye cases at Hokitika, a young lady, at J. Jack’s, Esq., the Mayor, cured, by operation, of squinting; and Mrs. Wavent, operation for artificial pupil. : Dr. Grant-is also SPECIALIST in the DISEASES of WOMEN and CHIL DREN. 428 TEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS 1 FOR . .

The value of this well-known Family Medi cine.has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of FIFTY YEARS. Its well-earned exten sive sale has induced SPURIOUS IMITA TIONS, some of which in OUTWARD APPEARANCE so closely resemble the ori ginal as to have deceived many purchasers.
