received yesterday at this office, from Mr. and Mt's. Tyler,
riated No. 89, Castle-street, Leicester-square, London, Ja-

the sight of one child in two or three weeks, and 44 the
sight of owe eye of their son within the period of six
months, who had been six years under the care of another
Oculist. without benefit:—

" feel ourselves in duty bound to return volt sin-
cere tit:inks fur the cure of uur.dangbtcr, who had been. af-
flicted with bad eves four mouths, to so great a degree as that
we were -fearful she would have ileen deprived of sight; but,
we bless God, her sight was perfectly restored in twirteen
days. ' Our son George had been afflicted from 'infancy, and
was muter the care or Mr. Phipps six years, -at different pe-
rieds, yet the film ii,:creased instead of diminishing, and the
.boy was nearly.blind. About tire years since we were ad-
vised to place him under your care; and we have the pleasure
to say, that in about five or six months he was perfectly re-
stored to the sight of one eye, which continues pertecl to
this day. The sight of the other was totally deStroyed before
.he cadre to you, yet even that eye 'although the signt is lost)
is also considerably improved in its appearance. We are,
Sir, your obliged and ever grateful servants,

Copy of a Letter from the. Itev. Alf. Sykes, dated Alnwick,
P.othumberland, July 7, ISI2, giving an account of the
-cure of one who bad been blind of one Eye forty-three
years.- Upwards of forty patients were beneritted at Ain-

. perintendant Preacher inthe Methodist connection at that
place. (Tlie person a!luded to was entrusted with Medi-
cines, and be re Aorcd himself to sight).
" pear Sir—lire daily instances. which occur of the asto-
nishing efficacy of your invaluable medicine, must (if any
thing will do it) remove incredulity, and add to the multitude
of patients already cored or.relieved, many thousands still la-
bouring under the total: or partial want of sight. The nu-
wet ous disorders to which the eye is subject, and the incon-
verneocies thence arising, is to rue a source of pain and sur-
4•ow, from which, it deliverance can be obtainer 4 it way-be
Considered as one of the greatest of temporal mercies. Gra-

should be given to the means that the blessing may be en-
joyed. • -The following extraordinary Cure occasioned public
thanks to Almighty God, in all the Churehes,and Chapels in
this town, urn the sth instant; and lam requested tO ac-
knowledge to you, Sir, in the name of the joyful patient, the
highi sense he entertains of his obligations, believing he shall
never be out of your debt, though he paid the demanded fees.
Edward Gratis, joiner, Newnliam, Northumberland, was
totally blind of one eye upwards (4'43 years, occasioned by the
small-pox; but by your means be was so far restored •to sight

Dated Saturday night, April 24, 1813.
" and Mrs: Clough, of Lower Moor, belonging to the
town of Oldham, the father and mother of a youth aged eleven
yearS, being impressed with gratitude for the recovery of the
sight of their ,son 4seph (who had been blind upwards of ten
years) this day earnestly requested ins to solicit all the Clergy-
men of the different Congregatiotis in and near thii populous
'town and neighbourhood, to, offer up Public-Thanks to Al-
. mighty God to-morrow, and also on the following Sabbath,
for his RestOratiiiii 'froni so dreadful •re Malady as that of
blindness, through the medicines applied to his eyes in Mar-

who were entrusted with medicines, and acted as assistants to
'Mr.'Williams, daring his former visit, when nearly 21000 per-

fur his medicines) to adopt, this singular method of causing
their gratitude to. be as public as possible. Mr. Williams
used various methods in order to ascertain in presence of se-
veral persons, how far the boy had been restored to sight,
and, astonishing to say, he now walks without a guide; has
learnt some of his letters ; and.did several times pick up sno-•
