AMONG THE FARMERS.

(By- our Travelling Reporter.)

_ With a view to getting a breath of pure air, and seeing how our farmer friends were getting on up towards tire hills, I took a journey in that direction the other day. I was delighted to see the flourish ing appearance of everything in ,tlie shape of a crop. The most noticeable near

town are those of Messrs Corbett and

Sargent, and the wheat, looks on both i farms like a fifty bushel crop. On Mr. Sargent’s farm, near the south branch

o'f the river, is the heaviest crop of clover I ever saw. It is so thick and matted the machine can with difficulty cut it at all. The land is a low-lying flat, on which the river silt is deposited in high floods, and the fine mould held in suspension and left by the freshes makes a splendid refreshing manure to the land, something in the same • way that the river 'Nile renewed the corn land on its banks by its annual overflow. Hay making is in full progress on various parts of the road, and at Greenstreet Mr. William Re veil, the Vulcan of the neighborhood, appears to have his hands full with the manufacture and repairing of a number of carts, farming imple ments, &c. He does a large business for a country blacksmith, as he employs three journeymen, and now wants a fourth. A couple of drays of his manufacture took my eye as being quite equal to anything exhibited at the Show, and the price he

quoted was less than the usual figure de , manded for such articles. Further up, the farms of Messrs Weldon, Church, and Goode, all have heavy crops, the wheat being both thick and well headed. Thence to the Spread Eagle there is not much in, but on the north side of the north branch, the Winchester estate, and Messrs Gould and Cameron have some tremendous crops. The most noticeable growth on this, and in fact on all the roads, is the Scotch thistle; in fact, some portions of the roads are barely passable, and horses are averse to putting their legs into such ne;*ts of needles. Another well known imported pest, which would also have been as well left at home, is the now universally con demned sparrow. This industrious colonist appears to have gone in for some very heavy contracts in the shape of har vesting oats, and the result of his labors, if profitable to himself, cannot be satis factory to the farmer whose grain he is taking. Mine host, Phillip Tisch, was at home, and as he guaranteed the beer we indulged, and found it equal to his representations. Thence to ' Mount Somers, a monotonous ten miles, on

which there is a pretty steep incline all the way, making it heavy pulling for the horses on a sweltering hot day. , However, we reached there in good time, and found a large crowd assembled for an auction sale, from which crowd Mr. Bullock eloquently drew such bids for horses, &c., as made me think money was plentiful, or horses scarce, in Mount Somers. Mr. Daniel Henderson, late of Mr. D. Williamson’s, is erecting a new store here, and has the utmost confidence in making a good thing of it. Mr. W. H. Smith’s commodious stables were put to a severe test that day with the number of visitors who were so journing in the township, while genial 'John' Hood’s stables hadn’t elbow room for the hungry candidates for dinner. As the afternoon got cooler we turned our horses towards Anama station, the resi dence of the Hon. W. S. Peter, M.L.C., and found the crossing of the South branch a particularly rough one, the boul ders in the ford being very well developed indeed. The County Council have, how ever, let a contract for a bridge 800 feet in length over this branch, and a large quantity of the timber is now “in tran situ” per rail for the work. On our arrival at Anama we were delighted at the old country appearance of the home-' stead, and the luxuriant growth of trees, shrubs, and live fences. Mr. Peter selected for the site of his homestead a beautiful terrace bounded on the south by a clear, babbling brook, which looks the very place for a home for trout. Towards the south-west there is an enormous ex panse of grain, and at the back are the rolling downs so suitable for sheep farm ing, with sheltered valleys running like bays into the mountain range. The station has trees on it evidently planted in the very early days, as the forest trees —such as two or three kinds of American pines, Australian gums and wattles, to gether with an immense variety of shrubs —are growing in wild profusion in the garden. The fruit trees are of great variety, and pears, apples, plums, necta rines, cherries, gooseberries, &c., are sug gestive of the more favored climates of Auckland or Nelson. As in most gardens in this province, American blight is play ing havoc with the apple trees. The height of the cross hedges, which have been planted for divisions and shelter in parallel lines in’ the garden, is very great . and achieve the objects for which they were planted—one in particular, a privet hedge, being very thick and high. A plantation of raspberries is the thickest and strongest I ever saw, and bears an enormous quantity of the luscious berries. After enjoying the hospitality provided by the ladies of the house, we made a straight cut across the plains towards Valetta and Westerfield, and found the crops of Mr. C. Reed and his tenants all ' that could be desired—a 200-acre field of grass presenting a busy scene, with its 20 or 30 hay makers busily engaged carting and stacking a very heavy crop. Laghmor station shows some very heavy oat crops, and the numerous cropping tenants on this estate will be amply recouped for their losses last year. About Tanered and Allen’s old station there is a wonderful growth in the cereals, Mr. B. Ede, Mr. Bullock, and Mr. D. Williamson having some tre mendous crops of wheat, and Mr. Digby a field of oats which would be hard to beat anywhere.

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. v PROFESSOR WALLENBURG. WILL ARRIVE IN ASHBURTON, MONDAY, 19tii JANUARY, 1880, And may he Consulted at his Consulting Rooms at MR, THOS. QUILL’S COMMERCIAL HOTEL, ' For TEN 10 DAYS’ ONLY. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. Blindness and Deafness. ( c£ 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.



Siii j —About Professor Wallenburg and his 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 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., Chas. 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. ( u 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 Ilia livelihood, t<® the great delight of all his friends, whose lasting gratitude Pro fessor Wallenburg has earned. I know of my knowledge three others who bene fited 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, &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 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 I treatment he speedly 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.. 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. IST. 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 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 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 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 Gape Mounted Bifles, 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, & 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 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 we found them thronged. Prom G a.m. 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 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 short space of twenty-four hours. The lad can 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 and suffering from cataract for the last three years. He received the attention of several surgeons, but after one or two consultations lie isnowsofarrecoveredtliat 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, January 10th, 1880. 932a—376 Business Notices.
