OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. We can coiiscientiously 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. 27,1879. . Mr. Earnest D'Egville Michau called at our office yesterday, and stated that he had been blind with the right eye all bis 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 1 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 thrit -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 yciurig inan who called’at our office appearei to be telling the truth, and was exceedingly grateful to Dr. Gant for the relief which he has already experienced. —Nexo 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.' Grahf, 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. 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 pi 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 STEEDMAN’S SOOTHING POWDERS . FOR CHILDREN CUTTING TEETH. CAUTION TO PURCHASERS The value of this : well-known Family Medi cine has, been largely tested irt 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. The proprietor -therefore feels it due to the public to give a special caution against the use of SUCH IMITATIONS. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive characteristics, without which none are genuine:—-' ' ' ’ . Ist—ln every- case the words JOHN STEEDMAN,., CHEMIST, ; WALWORTH, SURREY, are engraved on the - Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the . dose, .and the’ words, JOHN Sterdman, Chemist, WalWo!th, Surrey, printed thereon." ■3rd—The name, Sfeedrrian 1 , is’ always spelt with two EE’s. . ’ ■ ; 4th—The. manufacture is carried on solely at Walworth, Surrey. ! Sold in Packets by all Chemists and Medi cine Vendors. ’ Sold by Prosser and Co., Auckland. ' ’ 63 WHO is, M rs - WINSLOW ? As this question is frequently asked, we shall simply say that she is a lady who for upwards rtf 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 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 wqrld-renouned as a benefactor of her face.
