and the present revival of this regime can only result in converting all of them into conspirators. In fact, they are all con spirators as it is ; for everybody is in ire or less exercised in devising moan? of ex trication from the quandary, anl it m ist needs he that many incline to means which are deprecated by the authorities. As to the Czar’s intentions, nothing is known. But he is supposed to be brood ing in the helpless be vilderment of a man who is ..afraid to touch a single brick in a cranky fabric lest the whole of it should tumble down.”

Larrikinism.

. Nelson is a quiet, sensible, pretty little city—one that makes enough money to live on, but does not seem to strive very much to increase its income. It talks much about the resources of the district of which it is the capital ; but somehow those resources do not seem to progress towards development. So Nelson is no less quiet, no less pretty, and its good people no less social and amiable to-day than during the time of the pioneer settlers. But though from our Canter bury ideas of things we cannot set Nelson down as in any sense a go-ahead place, we must certainly allow that there is one thing in which she is prominent—and that is education. From her college down wards to her most petty infant school, Nelson is replete with educational advan tages of a high order, and if her youth is untaught, or vulgar, and illbred, it is not because their native city was untrue to them in not providing the means of education. But Nelson lias reason, along with every other town in the colony to complain that there are larrikins in her midst, and we gatherfrom a recent report by the Inspector of Schools for the Nelson district that lar rikinism is sufficiently rampant in quiet, godly Nelson to call for special notice at his hands.

Mr. Hodgson, the inspector referred to, makes some very wise remarks on this subject, remarks with which we heartily coincide. In a very ably written report he reviews the state of the schools in his jurisdiction ; in the course of which he defends the teachers from any blame that may be laid at their doors for the lar rikinism that exists. He points out that whatever power for good the teachers may exercise over the children during the few hours they are in school is neutralised by influences that come into action as soon as school is over. It would be a talented teacher indeed who could counteract in his few hours of teach ing time the baneful example of the street, and the laxity of home discipline ; and the responsible parties for the conduct of the child are most assuredly, as Mr. Hodgson says, not the teachers but the parents. It is home influence and not school influence we must look to to form the character of our boys, and so long as children and youths are left to the unlimited freedom of their own wills to graduate in the profanity, obscenity, and vileness of the street corner, uncurbed by wholesome paternal discipline, so long may we expect to have to speak of the in crease of larrikinism.

It is all very well to spend thousands upon education, to institute Boards of Educa tion and elect School Committes, but un less something more is done in the matter of home supervision and example the work of the educator can only be but half done at the best. What teacher, for instance, could fight against the terrible agency at work in our neighboring village of Chertsey —where mere lads just from school were allowed to remain out all night “ larking” (and the word conceals more than it con veys) with an old debauchee of a woman, who finally lay down dead drunk, un conscious that her drunken husband was dying by her side. We do not hold up Chertsey as any worse than its neighbors. Unfortunately for the larrikins old Gough died, and their doings came to light ; but there are many villages in our near neigh borhood equally bad, and residents who require to be much abroad in our own township will bear ns out when we say that for proficiency in rowdyism our own larrikins can vie with Chertsey. We have no wish to sermonise, but we cannot but join issue with Mr. Hodgson when he says that if larrikinism is to be stamped out it must be stamped out in the homes of the larrikins, and not in the schools. “ Evil communi cations corrupt good manners,” is an old, old proverb ; but it is as true to-day as it was when first the sentence was composed. Let a boy out to mingle unrestrained with the common herd who congregate at our street corners, to study the choice and ample vocabulary of blackguardism, and he will not take long, no matter what his early training may be, to get abreast of his companions in pro ficiency. Vice is a department of street education very easy of mastery. Very little brains are wanted to be able to hurl vile language at a passer-by. Once the example of the street corner has done its poisoning work, the example and the pre cept of the schoolmaster will be left far, far in the lee. We can assure parents who allow their children to roam these streets at night, and to be away from the good ex ample of their own homes, that they are exposing them to far greater danger than is infection from disease. Ashburton streets are no more free from loafers and ruffians —and some claiming to be respec table, too—than are the streets of other places in the colony, and the influence and example of these will tell in the end with fearful effect. Let the home be pure —and make the boy stay in it. The street at night when the scum is flowing is no place for him. He is not safe, and he only swells the crowd of worthless idlers —from whom the colony’s ‘ ‘ criminal classes ” are invariably drawn.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 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 ho had operated. Their names are Mr. Nicholas Power and Mr. James McGrath, both of Waimate. The first-mentioned had been deaf in one car 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 10 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. IG.) To the Editor.



Sir, —About Professor Wallenburg and his cures. lam gild that in previous issues you 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., Ohas. 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. Gibscn 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 McKenzie, 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.,” (“ 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, and now 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 benc fittecl 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 niy best thanks to Profossor Wallenburg for his charity to the poor. —I am, &c., Wm. Coleman, Roman Catholic Clergyman. The Eye and Ear.-—Professor Wallen burg 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 James 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 lie had been under medical treat ment without receiving any benefit—in fact he went from bad to worse. Placing himself under Professor Wallenburg’s



Public Notices. treatment lie speedly came round, ai:d yesterday could distinctly see a hair at the ordinary reading distance. Richard At kinson, of Invercargill, who had been treated in Dunedin aud 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 LIOO 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. IT. N Bates was the next patient consulted ; he had been totally deaf 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 tlie 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 curing 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 “North Otago Times,” Oamaru, Dec. 18, 1879.) There would seem to be some founda 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 ray 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 weak are already be ginning to show good signs of total cure, and are really wo: thy of some notice by an impartial observer. The first of these is that of James Beale, who was formerly of the Cape Mounted Rifles, and lost the sight of one eye If 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 with one eye, and partially so witli 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 hoy, who has been partially blind for several years, and has been operated upon and treated without any beneficial effect by several New Zealand professional men, applied to the Professor 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 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 mind to lose both eyes, as no cure could be found. However, she is doing well now, at all events, wiih 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 deaf 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 skill in eye and ear cases of Professor Wallenburg. Since his ar rival here, a few days ago, his consulting rooms at the Grosvenor Hotel have been beseiged with patients. 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 Ave found them thronged. From 6 a.m. he had been busily at work, and during the three hours upAvards of fifty cases had been treated. 'Hie best guarantee of the specialist’s success is that the living Avit nesses are both numerous and well known. During our visit, which only lasted a feAv minutes, several cases of restored vision Avere introduced to our notice. One Ai r as the son of the landlord of the Masonic hotel, at St. Andrews, Avhoso right eye, through the stab of a penknife, Avas rendered totally blind about threo Aveeks ago. Medical advice Avas sought, and the lad Avas 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 short space of tAventy-four hours. The lad can uoav read the finest type Avith his injured organ. Another boy named Edgier, from Temulca, lias his sight in process of perfect restoration, after groping his Avay in the dark and suffering from cataract for the last three years. He received the attention of several surgeons, but after one or Uvo consultations he is noAV so far recovered that 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 Avhom is one of the most accomplished of the lady performers, re-

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 by dint of steaming, syringing, and operating, had been effectually overcome. The sceptical who arc apt to run away with the idea that every specialist is a charlatan, need only pay a visit to the Professor’s consult ing rooms, and their impressions will be at once removed.—“ South Canterbury Times,” Saturday, January 10th, 1880. 932a—376 Business Notices.
