Did not see her again till 17th January, when I heard she was suffering from typhoid fever. I went at once to see her. I found her in great pain, restless, excited, and inclined to wander occasionally, with a rapid fever pulse, and principally com j: laining of suffering and extreme exhaus tion, ' caused by forcing milk and other things down her throat, which brought on violent and exhausting purging, extremely painful and dangerous in the feeble con dition of her heart, and the deceased and painful state of her stomach. Her skin was dry, scaly, and gummy, and the temperature of her body a little over 105. Her breath was laborious, her chest heav ing rapidly, and she could only get her breath in a certain position on lier right side, not being able to lie. for a moment on her left side or back. This made it impossible to pack her, as I should other wise have done with sheets. So I sent to the mill for a large bath and got a port able boiler. I then went to see Dr. Ros. 3, but not finding him at home, I wrote a letter, telling him 1 should treat my daughter hydropathically. I got her into a warm bath, where she was at once greatly relieved, aud on getting back into bed she went to sleep and rested better than for some time before. I kept wet warm body bandages on the whole front of her body, covered with flannel, and changed every two hours, which almost entirely removed the pain from that part of her body. I put a hoi bran poultice on the back of her neck, and cold wet cloths on her head. She never wandered after this, but kept her faculties remark ably clear. She was sponged over twice a day, and had a warm bath as often a s the skin got too gummy to be cleaned by sponging. She spoke in the most con temptuous terms of allopathic treatment, and its failure to relieve her in the slightest degree, except by the stupefac tion produced by morphia, which she knew would leave her nerves in a frightful condition, and she begged me to help her by what she had so often seen so beneficial to her own children and to others. I told her how difficult this would be after the drugs she had been taking, and with a hostile doctor and nurse, but that I would save her from allopathic annoyances as much as I could, and get her mother to come and nurse her. I instructed them not to give her any food unless she desired it, and not to give her any stimulant, drug, or any animal food, and only to give lier vegetable diet of which I gave a list from which she should be sup plied, and which I knew were the safest preventatives of the fever to be feared in typhoid. I brought up artesian water from Christchurch, and did not allow lier to drink any more of the Water which I considered caused the disease. I had the carpet and floorcloth removed, and the floor scrubbed frequently, and sent for Condy’s disinfecting fluid to scatter over the room, and used a double set of blankets, so as to allow of one set being aired while the other was being used. Also allowed as much ventilation as pos sible, owing to the liot weather. On Tuesday the temperature of her body was 100 degrees and next day 99 degrees. On Thursday she was quite comfortable and cheerful ; on Friday morning I left her still very well, cautioning her not to get up or make any exertion. I returned to her on Saturday, intending merely to look in on her and go away again. I found her so much worse that I stayed with her. Her pulse was so weak it was extremely difficult to feel it at all. Her breathing was very difficult. A warm bath immedi ately relieved her breath, but her pulse kept very low and feeble until tlie tem perature of the atmosphere changed on Monday with a change of wind, which immediately relieved her and she re covered rapidly. On Wednesday found my son William was ill. He resides 25 miles from Ashburton, and on learning that the same fever was feared, I went off to him, but finding that it was nothing Berious, I returned to Mrs. Buchanan. On Thursday evening I found tliaf she was suffering from severe pain in the right shoulder. This was much relieved by contriving her bed so as to take the weight off that shoulder, as she had been con stantly lying on one side. She was other wise going on well and recovering some appetite, so that on Thursday and Friday I thought her eating right enough. On Friday evening I left for town, and on Saturday her mother left her, thinking her evidently improving as she felt herself to be.

By the Coroner—Found the state of her heart by feeling her pulse and sounding her heart. Deceased was kept in a bath at a 103 degrees for an hour. Knew there was something wrong with the lungs, but did not know what it was.

Sergeant Pratt—Are you a properly qualified medical practitioner 1 Witness —No. But I hope I shall always be able to treat my own children in preference to employing anyone else. Dr. Boss deponed that he was a legally qualified medical practitioner, and at tended deceased since about Monday in Christmas week. About that time I was called in by Mr. Buchanan. I found the decased, who was then at the mill, bilious, but the sickness was not of any conse quence, save that she had been very much weakened by prolonged nursing of her infant child. She recovered from these symptoms very decidedly in about a week, and was taken to her own home. I saw her again in the course of a few days, and at the end of three days I found she was suffering from typhoid fever. The case went on in the usual way without any serious complications. There had been slight congestion of the right lung, and a slight tendency to diarrhoea, but nothing to cause me any anxiety. Typhoid fever is not to be dieaded, except by its compli cations, but it sometimes kills by the height of the fever alone. At the end of the three weeks during which I treated her for typpoid fever, I received a note from Mr. Alfred Saunders, stating that he wished to treat the case hydoropatlii cally, and asking me not to cause the patient any annoyance. Of coux-se, as Mi’. Saunders decided to treat the case hydropatliically, I decided to withdrew from the case. In justice to myself I asked Mr Saunders’ pei’mission to see the patient with me before I left. He gave his consent, and said he also wished that if any Dr. did see her, Dr. Trevor should see her. We saw her together (Dr. Trevor and I) shortly after noon on Monday, 19th January. Her condition was as it had usually been during the previous three weeks. Did not see her again until Sunday, February 1, about 12 o’clock. She was in an almost completely exhausted condition, so much so that 1 would not attempt to examine her save to feel her pulse and look at her tongue. I would

not risk moving her body she was so much exhausted. I myself gave her a small wineglassful of still cliampage, be sides ordering a mixture of egg, milk, and brandy every hour. I then left, saying I would see her in the evening. When I called in the evening she had just died. 1 assisted Dr. Nedwill at the post-mortem examination, and I have heard his evi dence, which I can corroborate without reserve as regards the condition of the organs. The effusion in the chest, in my opinion, was recent, and caused exhaus tion, bringing about a failure of the action of the heart. In consequence of the danger of moving the patient, I can not give tlie immediate cause of dtath. I gave a certificate stating that I did not know what was the cause of death. Warm baths—three or four—were administered with my consent during Christmas week. 105 degrees is a high temperature, even for typhoid fever. I have heard the evi dence of the hydropathic treatment. I have had no personal experience of hydro pathy. Tlie Coroner—State your opinion of what would be the result to a person in typhoid fever of being placed in a bath of 102 degrees temperature, and left there for an hour.

Witness-—The question of the use of baths in such cases is a moot one with medical men, and it is not mine to say ; but the bath would not be used by medical men as it lias been used in this case. Typhoid fever lias usually a fixed period of duration, and the patient was in the normal state that the fever would reach when I left her. The complications I have referred to did not then exist. Mr. Saunders’ treatment was entirely opposed to my own—mine being large quantities of fluid nourishment, in eluding quinine and stimulants, while his was what we call low diet. Low diet would not be conducive to the recovery of the patient. I don’t say it would be in jurious. Had I examined the chest of deceased on Sunday morning last, I could have readily ascertained tlie presence of effusion in tlie chest.

By Mr. Branson—lt would have been harmful to the patient to have persistently opposed her wishes, and she desired to be treated by her father. In fact my treat ment was persistently disregarded by de ceased.

Dr. Trevor, sworn—The only time I saw deceased was on January 19, when I visited her at the request of Dr. Boss, who stated he was giving up treatment of the case at the request of her father, and wished me to see the state in which he (Dr. Ross) had left the patient. Under stood the visit was at Mr. Saunders’ re quest. Mrs. Buchanan was suffering from typhoid fever—not a very severe attack. She was rather weak, but there were no complications in the case, of which I formed a favorable opinion, and expressed it to the relatives of deceased. With re spect to the treatment by Mr. Saunders of the deceased, I do not agree with it, but I have no personal experience of hydropathy. Batlis are used by medical men in eases of fever, but not of the kind made use of bj? Mr. Saunders. The dietary system described by Mr. Saunders I do not as a whole agree with. I con sider it is deficient in nourishing and stimulating qualities. Bj? Mr. Branson—Persistent refusal to grant the deceased’s request to be treated by her father would have had an injurious effect upon lier in the state she was then in.

Tlie Coroner, in addressing the jury, said they were called upon to decide wliat was the c?use of the death. That could be very easily arrived at from the evidence of the medical men who made tlie post mortem examination. It »vas also for them to say whether the medical treat ment to which the deceased had been sub jected had been of a proper description. The evidence showed that up to the 19tli January the patient bad been under a properly qualified practitioner, and tlie remaining days of her life she had been under the hydropathic treatment of her father. It was for the jury to say whether tlie first mode of treatment would have been more likely?- to have kept her alive if it had been followed than the one which was adopted. The Coroner then recounted the law on the subject, and the jury retired to consider their verdict, which, after about half an hour’s deliberation, was as follows 1 “ We find that deceased died from natural causes, but add as a rider that we strongly disapprove of other than properly qualified men undertaking tlie conduct of serious cases.”

Public Notices. SPECIAL NOTICE. Jj3 ROFSSSOR WALLENBURG, Oculist. Aurist, and Specialist (From Europe.) May be consulted upon all Diseases of the Eye, Ear, and Throat, Deafness, Noises in the Head, Defective Sight, Cataracts, Amaurosis, Opthalmia, Gutta- Serena, Loss of the Eyelashes, Inflamma tion, and all Diseases of the Eye, Ear, and Throat, treated upon new and scien tific principles. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Blindness and Deafness. Oamaru Mail,” Dec. 15.) Professor Wallenburg is still kept busy with patients. We 011 Saturday received a visit from two persons upon whom he had operated. Their names are Mr. Nicholas Power and Air. 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 obtaiued 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 lie had not done for 16 years. The case of Mr. Alexander Aitchison is worth chronicling. He had been totally deaf in one car for four years and slightly aft'ectcd 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 car by pressing it tight!}’ to it. Now, he can hear it at a distance of a font, although his ear is stopped with wadding. (“Oaiirmi Mai!,” Dec. IC.) To the Editor.



Sm, —Aleut Professor Wallenburg and lii.s cures. lam glad 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 ui’gc 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 yeai’s, but for the last 20 years his hearing had been getting gradually worse. Ten days ago Mr. Gibsen 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 MfKenzie, of Kalcanui. 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, j (“ 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, wi) b 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 bene 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 my best thanks to Professor Wallenburg for his charity to the poor.—l am, Ac., War. Coleman, Roman Catholic Clergyman.



The Eye and Ear. —Professor Wallen burg is effecting some mannellons cures in cases of blindness and deafness. At liis 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 he had been under medical treat ment without receiving any benefit-—in fact he went from bad to worse. Placing himself under Professor Wallonburg’s treatment he spcedly came round, 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. Jerrctt, 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 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 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 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 lie 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 ho 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 week 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 Rifles, 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 with 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 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. Kenalian’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, with the swelling reduced, and the sight partially restored in the one eye, and the other as well as ever it was. Goorge 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 we found them thronged. From 6 a.in. he had been busily at work, and during the three hours upwards of fifty cases had been treated. The best guarantee of the specialist’s success is that the living wit nesses are both numerous and well known. During our 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 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 short space of twenty-four hours. The lad can now read the finest type with his injured organ. Another boy named Edgier, from Teniuka, has his sight in process of perfect restoration, after groping his way in the dark and suffering from cataract for the last three years. He received the attention of several surgeons, but after one or two consultations he is now 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 whom is one of the most accomplished of the lady performers, re maining behind for the purpose of 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 by dint of steaming, syringing, and operating, had been effectually overcome. The sceptical who are 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, Januaiy lQch, 1880. 932a—376 Business Notices.
