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 throe 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 lias 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 ten or eleven days when he found that he could see largo 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 appearel to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he has already experienced. —New Zea land Times, Dec. 25, 1879. Dr. Grant 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 us 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 sulted a short time ago, considered the case incurable.” Dr. Grant has also been very successful in several difficult cases ol 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 TY/HIO is Mrs. WINSLOW ? As this question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for ! upwards of thirty years has untireingly’ devoted her time and talents as a female physician and nurse, principally among children. 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 lias 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 world-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 hero. We think Mrs Winslow has immortalised her name by this invaluable article, and wo sincerely believe that thousands of chil dren have been saved from an early grave by its timely use, and that millions yet unborn will share its benefits and unite in calling her blessed. No mother has dis charged her duty to her suffering little one, in our opinion, until she has given it the benefit of Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Try it mothers, try it now.— Ladies’ Visitor, New York City. Advice to mothers.—Are you broken in your rest by a sick child, suffering with the pain of cutting teeth I Go at once to the chemist and get a bottle of Mrs. WINSLOW’S SOOTHING SYRUP. It will relieve the poor sufferer immediately. It is perfectly harmless ; it produces natural, quiet sleep by reliev ing the child from pain, and the little cherub awakes “ as bright as a button. ” It has been in use in America, and is highly recommended by medical men. It is very pleasant to take; it sooths the child ; it softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for dysentry and diarrhoea, whether arising from eething or other causes. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup, and sea that “Curtis and Perkins, New York and London,” is on the outside wrapper. No mother should be without it. Sold by all medicine dealers, at Is. 1 l^d.—Depot, 493, Oxford street.

COCKLE’S ANTIBILIOUS PILLS—; These Pills consist of a careful and peculiar admixture of the best and mild est vegetable aperients, with the pure ex 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 affect 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 add matter in the stomach and bowels. To Europeans on their arrival in India or China they are recommended as a preservative against the fatal disorders peculiar to tropical climates. Their occasional use, if com-. /, bined with the strictest attention to diet, will be frequently found to remove at once, by their influence over the. secre tions, that congestive and unhealthy con dition of the liver which is so often the ‘ earliest antecedent of severe febrile and f constitutional disturbance. It must be understood that these pills are not recommended as containing any nety or dangerously active ingredients; on. the contrary, they are characterised by a remarkable simplicity of combination, and whatever merit they may be found to,: , possess depends as much upon the selec tion of pure drugs, and the unusual ■ and attention bestowed upon their subse quent preparation, as upon the acknow ledged peculiarity of their composition*. . n They are not recommended as a panacea, nor are they adapted to all complaints; but as a mild and efficacious aperient and tonic in the various forms of indigestion, . it will not, perhaps, be an exaggeration to state that they have been resorted to under all systems of diet, changes of cli mate, or atmospheric alternations with an extraordinary degree of success for . upwards of seventy-eight years. This celebrated family aperient may bo had throughout the United Kingdom in boxes at Is lijjd, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and 11s Od, as, well as m India, China, New Zealand; atrtl 1 the Australian Colonies,
