Affairs in Ireland.

The mail * just arrived from San Francisco brings sad confirmation of the intelligence that has already reached us by cable regarding the distress in Ireland. For several seasons in succession the crops have been, if not a total, at least a comparative failure. The farmers'have been going steadily backwards, until many of them have got so deeply and hopelessly into debt as to be beyond re covery. The harvest just over has yielded merely nominal returns where the land has yielded anything, and the com bination of ills has culminated in a repeti tion of the evils of ’47 and ’4B. With gaunt famine staring the Irish people in the face, it is not matter for surprise that, with the chronic disaffection to wards the English Government of a large section of the population, there should be wide-spread dissatisfaction, and fre quent tumults, and stern demands on the part of the farmers for a reduction of rents. In most cases we are told these re ductions have been granted, but in many others where all payment of rent has been refused by the tenants, evictions have fol lowed, with the usual results that at tend such proceedings in Ireland. The Irish landlords have been noted for their cold neglect of the estates they own. In many instances the landlords have never been once upon the soil that yields them their income, and the rents are collected by agents as stern and unrelenting as the sea. It is on; estates so managed that most of the evictions have taken place,, and as the telegram puts it, some of those who served the eviction notices have been “roughly handled.” Those who know anything of the Irish farming population will be able to trans late for themselves those two words. .At Connemara a large meeting was held, which ended in a riot that was only quelled by the bayonet charge of the police, and all over the country the spirit of the hungry people has been roused. We are told in the mail summary that Govern ment has been apprised of the rapid spread of Fenianism throughout the island, owing to the state of the country, but the same mail brings us the cheering information that the appeals for relief which have been made toßriions in every part of the world have been liberally responded to. America is now being canvassed by Mr. Parnell, M.P., and he has, been successful beyond his expecta tions. Australia is starting a fund for the relief of the starving ones, and New Zealand, though she has not yet been called upon, will freely contribute her share. Of all Her Majesty’s colonies, ours is the most warm-hearted in her giving when distress appeals to her purse strings through the tender strings of her humanity, and when the suffering ones are those of her fellow-countrymen at Home, the appeal will not remain long, un answered. Let us hope that such response as is to be made to the appeal of want will earn the double blessing that awaits the cheerful giver and the giver that giveth quickly. ,

OPINIONS OF THE PJEtESS. Blindness and Deafness. (“ Oamaru Mail,” Dec. 15.) Professor Wallenburg is still kept busy with patients. We on Saturday received a visit from two persons upon whom he had operated. Their names are Mr. Nicholas Power and Mr. James McGrath, both of Waimate. The first-mentioned had been deaf in one ear for 14 years. On Wednesday last he visited the doctor, and obtained some relief. On Thursday he was perfectly cured, a grass seed and an accumulation of skin which had gat thered around it having been extracted. He told us that he could hear better with the ear that had been operated upon than he could with the other. The last men tioned visited the doctor at the same time. He was slightly deaf in the left and totally deaf in the right ear. A growth having been extracted from the right ear, he entirely recovered his hearing. He told us that he could hear his own voice— a thing that he had not done for 16 years. The case of Mr. Alexander Aitchison is worth chronicling. He had been totally deaf in one ear for four years and slightly affected in the other. He is now perfectly restored, and was so gratified that he to day introduced a suffering friend to the doctor. Mr. Aitchison tells us that he could only hear his watch ticking by means of the diseased ear by pressing it tightly to it. Now, he can hear it at a distance of a foot, although his ear is stopped with wadding. (“ Oamaru Mail,” Dec. 16.) To the Editor.



Sih, —About Professor Wallenburg and bis cures. lam glad tliat in previous issues fyou have called attention to the work and remarkable success of the Pro fessor in a few days of his residence in this town. I only just wish to say that I can confirm the truthfulness of several of the cases mentioned by you, for I have seen the patients myself. I would like to urge upon the people of Oamaru and neighborhood the importance of having any affection of those parts of the body which he specially treats attended to at once, or when he has gone they will regret that they did not avail themselves of his skill. Such men as he are a blessing to humanity. Hoping this may lead to the relief of some sufferer or sufferers, I am, &c., O-has. E. Barley. (“ Oamaru Mail,” Dec. 22.) Mr. James Gibson, a shepherd employed at Station Peak, called upon us this morn ing, and requested us to bear testimony to the fact that he has been cured of almost total deafness by Professor Wallenburg. He had been more or less deaf for 30 years, but for the last 20 years his hearing had been getting gradually worse. Ten days ago Mr. Gibson placed himself under the treatment of the Professor, and has so far recovered that he experiences no diffi culty in hearing ordinary conversation. At the same time Professor Wallenburg introduced to us Mr. William M'Kenzie, of Kakanui. He had been so deaf for 13 years that he had been unable to hear ordinary sounds. On Saturday last he became a patient of the Professor’s, and obtained immediate relief. His hearing is now as perfect as could be desired. * ( C£ Oamaru Mail,” Dec. 29.) To the Editor.



Sir, —Permit me through your paper to direct the attention of the public to the following. At the request of a member of my con gregation, unable to pay, and suffering with eyes nearly blind and inflamed many years, I applied to Professor Wallenburg for advice and treatment gratis. He, witb generosity and kindness readily granted the favor. I made the applica tion because I had learned from other clergymen that the professor is ever ready to give his services to the poor when asked to do so by any person on whose honesty he can rely on being assured that no deception is being practised on him. This person was under the care of several medical men, but without any beneficial result. Professor Wallenburg has had the case under treatment for about ten days, andinow the eyes are perfectly well, and the person is likely to be able to earn his livelihood, to the great delight of all his friends, whose lasting gratitude Pro fessor Wallenburg has earned. I know of my knowledge three others who bene fitted very much by the treatment of the worthy Professor. I write this letter without the request of any one ; but I consider it a duty owing to the Professor’s kindnesss ; and I recommend those suffering in eye or ear to apply to him whilst they have the present favorable opportunity. I hereby tender my best .thanks to Professor Wallenburg for his charity to the poor. —I am, &c., Wm. Coleman, Roman Catholic Clergyman.



The Eye and Ear.—Professor Wallen hurg is effecting some marmellous cures in cases of blindness and deafness. At his invitation we visited the consulting rooms at the Albion Hotel, yesterday morning, when we conversed with two or three out of a total of about thirty patients present. The first case brought under notice was that of Janies Robertson, of Morton Mains, who was suffering from heavy films in both eyes. He assured us that for the past six years he had suffered acutely, and during for years of that period he had been under medical treat ment without receiving any benefit—in fact he went from bad to worse. Placing himself under Professor Wallenburg’s treatment he speedly came reund, and



Public Notices. yesterday could distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading distance. Richard At kinson, of Invercargill, who had been treated in Dunedin and Melbourne for impaired eye-sight, als bore testimony to the Professor’s skill. He had been totally blind of one eye, the other being consider ably affected, but could now distinguish the time on a clock a couple of chains off. Mrs. W. Jerrett, of Riverton, was the next patient introduced. She stated that she had been suffering from deafness for the last six years, and during that time her husband had expended something like Ll6O in endeavoring to effect a cure. Under Professor Wallenburg’s treatment she had so far recovered her hearing that she could without difficulty hear a watch ticking. H. N. Bates was the next patient consulted ; he had been totally cleaf of one ear for fourteen years, the deafness arising from an attack of scarlet fever. In England his case was regarded as a hopeless one, and this was the more serious since the remaining ear .was com mencing to sympathise with the affected one. He had only been under the Profes sor’s treatment a few days, and could now hear perfectly well. ' Constable Buchanan also states that the occulist has succeeded id cui’ing him of partial deafnes. These are a few patients, indiscriminately singled out from the patients in the consulting room, and they certainly go to show that the Professor is thoroughly up to his busi ness. At ‘present he has 75 patients under treatment. We would strongly urge all who are afflicted with blindness or deafness to pay this oculist a visit, and at once, since his stay here is limited. “Southland Times,” Nov. 25, 1879.



(From u North Otago Times,” Oamaru, Dec. 18, 1879.) There would seem to be some founda l tion for the merits claimed for Professor Wallenburg’s treatment of diseases of the eye and ear, if we may judge by the re sults of several cases that have fallen under our notice. These-are the days of discoveries, and .possibly the Professor may have come across some special remedy for the disease of the eye and ear, or he may only be an intelligent, sharp sighted man, better able than the generality of his fellows to see where the evil he would cure is best to be grappled with. At any rate, several long-standing cases which have only been under his treatment for a iveek are already be ginning to show good signs of total cure, and are really worthy of some notice by an impartial observer. The first of these is that of James Beale, who was formerly of the Cape Mounted Rides, and lost the sight of one eye 14 years ago in Africa, and who was treated in vain by several army doctors when there, and by some medical practitioners in Weymouth, Eng land. About a week ago he came to the Professor totally blind w r ith one eye, and partially so with the other, which had begun to suffer in sympathy. He is now able to read small print with either eye, and in a few days, judging faom ap pearances, will be completely cured. Another case is that of a son of Andrew Meldrum, a baker, of Oamaru. This boy, who has been partially blind for several years, and has been operated upon and treated without any beneficial effect by several Hew Zealand professional men, applied to the Pi’ofessor about a week ago, and can now begin to see again very fairly, and is to all intents and purposes perfectly cured. Mrs. Kenahan’s case is an interesting one, both for the rapidity and the completeness of the cure of a most painful and seemingly hopeless malady. This lady, when she applied to the Professor, was afflicted by the most violent inflammation of the right eye, which was swollen as big as an egg, and continually discharging an offensive mat-1 ter. She was in great agony, and had not slept for more than a ' week. The sight was completely gone, and worse than all, the other eye beginning to show signs of suffering from a like disorder. Sage medicos, who had attended her from the commencement of the com plaint with a slight inflammation caused by a 'cold, began to beg her to make up her mincl to lose both eyes, as no cure could be found. However, she is doing well now, at all events, with the swelling reduced, and the sight partially restored in the one eye, and the other as well as ever it was. George Gordon, a man of 79 years of age, who was almost entirely de.if but a few days ago, can now hear words spoken in a low voice from the other side of the room, while the two children of Mr. Townsend, who have suffered from deaf ness for a long time, can now hear the tick of a watch. These cases are cer tainly interesting, as effectual cures of old standing diseases, after some of them have defied all the skill of the general practitioner, and whether the cure is due to the remedy or the matter of treat ment it is equally worthy of praise.



Timaru has contributed its quota of tes timonials to the s till in eye and ear cases of Professor Wallenburg. Since his ar rival here, a few days ago, his consulting rooms at the Grosvenor Hovel have been beseiged with pa tients. An idea of the number of cases treated may be formed when we mention, that on visiting his apartments about 9 o’clock this morning we found ihem thronged. From 6 a.m. he bad beeu busily at work, and during the three hours upwards of fifty cases had been reated. The best guarantee of the specialist’s success is that the living wit nesses are both numerous and well known. During cur visit, which only lasted a few minutes, several cases of restored vision were introduced to our notice. One was the son of the landlord of r the Masonic hotel, at St. Andrews, whose right eye, through the stab of a penknife, was rendered totally blind about three weeks ago. Medical advice was sought, and the lad was ordered to be confined in a dark room ; but the Professor, without subject ing him to any ordeal of the kind, or any painful operation restored his sight in the shortspaceoftwenty-fourhours. Theladcan now read the finest type with his injured organ. Another boy named Edgier, from Temuka, has his sight in process of perfect restoration, after groping his way in the dark aud suffering from cataract for the last three years. He received the attention of several surgeons, but after one or two consultations he isnowsofarrecovereclthat he can read with but slight difficulty, and the Professor assures us that in a few days he will be able to see perfectly. Chiarini’s Circus has contributed two cases, the patients, one of whom is one of the most accomplished of the lady performers, re maining behind for the purpose Sf under-



Public Notices. going Professor Wallenburg’s treatment. Henry Kent, a young man who tells us he has been nearly blind from his infancy, after a six months’ sojourn in the, St. George’s Hospital, London, without ob taining relief, demonstrated the efficacy of the Professor’s treatment, by reading an extract from the “ Otago Daily Times ” in our presence. Lastly two or three cases of chronic deafness were brought under our' attention which bj'’ dint of steaming, syringing, and operating, had been effectually overcome. The sceptical who are apt to run away with the idea that every specialist isja charlatan, need only pay a visit to the Professor’s consult- j ing rooms, and their impressions will be at once removed.—“ South Canterbury' Times,” Saturday, January 10-h, 1880. 932 a
