CERTAIN CURE OF BLINDNESS.
MR. BAXTER, OCULIST, WARREN-STEET,
LIVERPOOL.

MR. BAXTER, having been nearly six months in Liver-
pool, and completed some remarkable cures, testimo-
nials of which are attached to this advertisement, is desirous
of taking up his permanent residence in Liverpool. He,
therefore, begs to make the following proposal to those who
have the means and the wish of assisting their fellow crea-
tures labouring under the distressing malady of blindness.
Mr. Baxter proposes to reside in Liverpool, if 25 subscri-
bers of one guinea each will come forward, who shall each b
lowed to recommend one patient at a time for a year. There
are numbers of poor persons who are quite destitute of the
means of procuring assistance, and who would be grateful
for advice.

In submitting the following testimonials to the notice of
the Ladies and Gentlemen of Liverpool, Mr. Baxter does
so, in the hope that the strictest inquiry will be made into

every case

Mr. Baxter will, if possible, commence his Opthalmic
Establishment Ist March next.

JOSEPH INITIONALD,

happy to state, that my son, John M` Cann, after having been
about nine years afflicted with bad eyes, he acknowledges
that he cannot describe the very great benefit that he has re-

Given in my hand-writing this 2d day of August, 1840.

JOHN FRAZeR,
No. 98, Gallowgatc, Glasgow, Scotland

Scat,—This is to certify, that I was nearly blind (amaurosis)
of the right eye, and very deficient of sight of the other eye,
it having been gradually failing for years, and being in my
70th year, I had given up all hopes ; but hearing of the cures
you were performing in Liverpool, induced me to make a
trial, and I am happy to say, that after being under your
treatment ;for one month, I can now see to read tolerably
well without the aid of glasses.—Given in my hand-writing
this 28th day of January, 18-11.
FREDERICK HAMILTON,
No. 39, Charlotte-street, Liverpool.

Sir,—For the good of the public, and especially those who
are labouring under the distressing malady of blindness, I
here insert that my daughter, Mary Leech, 15 years of age,
was blind, through a violent inflammation and films, and
was in the North Staffordshire Infirmary fora length of time,
where she was severely blistered and leeched. &c., until her
eyes were sunk in her head, and after that golden ointment
was applied to her eyes with care, but all to no service ; but
hearing of your ability as an oculist, and the cures you had
Performed, I wrote for .t 1 worth of your eye medicines,
giving you every particular of her case, on the Ist day of
April, 1840; and, thank God! in one month she could see
to read the smallest print, and has remained perfect ever
since. And, sir, my youngest daughter, Emma, had very
bad eyes at the time, to which I applied your medicines, and
she was made perfect.—Given in my handwriting this 14th
day of January, 1841. 'WM. LEECH,
Amicable-street, Tunstall, Staffordshire Potteries.

Sir,—Mr. NEWBROOKS, High-street, Tunstall,
desires to state that he is perfectly restored to sight, and is
happy that he had the chance of meeting with your valuable
medicines.

Sir,—l was for three years totally blind of my left eye, and
could only pereeive the shadow of a person passing me with
the right eye (the complaint being amaurosis); but, after
being under your treatment for two months, I am happy to
say that my leftleye is perfect, and my right eye (that on
which I was entirely dark) I can now see a little with ; for
which I feel thankful to God, and greatly obliged to you.—
Given in my handwriting this 3rd day of October, 1840.
JAMES FRANCIS,
North Bradley, near Trowbridge, Wiltshire.
-• 11.

Sir,—l am a seafaring man, of the age of 36 years, and
have been afflicted for eight years with a deficiency of sight.
For the last three months I have been on shore in nearly
utter darkness, and could get no relief from the doctors here,
who call it amaurosis ; but hearing of your cures of blind-
ness in the newspapers, induced me to send for £1 worth of
your medicines, being the sum stated in the advertisement ;
and in nine days I feel my sight a great deal better, and I
hope, if it please God, to be able to go to sea again in a short
time ; but I will write to you again, sir, in a fortnight's time.
—Given in my handwriting this 15th day of February, 1841.
JOHN BURNICLE,
Albion-street, Stockton-on-Tees, Durham.

12.
HENRY SADON, No. 19, Clayton-street, Liverpool,
was blind (amaurosis) for a number of years. He has now
been five weeks under Mr. Baxter's treatment, and has re-
ceived that benefit of sight, that he can go abont the streets
alone without any inconvenience, and there is every hope of
a perfect cure being made.

13.
Mrs. PRICE, Dance-street, Copperas-hill, Liverpool, 53
years of age, was blind (amaurosis) for three years, and so
weak and infirm that she could not rise from her chair with-
out help ; but after patiently persevering in Mr. Baxter's
mild treatment for five months, she is restored to sight so as
to distinguish man from woman, and was able to walk out
last week by herself; she keeps still improving both in health
and sight.

14.
WM. PARKINSON, No. 44, Vienna-street, Leeds, had
been nearly blind for 23 years, and in six weeks he could see
to read the smallest print. This case, as well as some of the
above, was not owing to a decay or wasting of the optic nerve
(which does not admit of a cure), but proceeded from a com-
pression of the nerves by redundant humours, which, had
they not been drained off, would have ended in total dark-
ness, i.e. guttce serene.

15.
Mr. Baxter is successor to his Father, who practised upon
the eye for 40 years. The case now mentioned was the first
placed under the care of the present Mr. B. A soldier, in
Hull, who was blind through inflammations and thick films
in the year 1813, having lost his sight in Egypt, was restored
to sight and made perfect in two months, after having been
discharged blind from the hospitals of London, York, Leeds,
and Hull. This will bear out Mr. B.'s experience for nearly
28 years. Many hundreds more have been cured, too nu-
merous for the limits of an advertisement.
Mr. BAXTER, Oculist, from Bolton, maybe consulted
Warren-street,
daily, by letter or personally, at No. 37,
Copperas-hill, upon all cases of Ophthalmia, or Inflamma-
tions, Specks, &c., Amaurosis, or Dimness of Sight, without
the use of Mercury, Blisters, Bleeding, seton, Issues, or any
restraint of diet or business.

CELEBRATED FOR WRITING WITH STEEL PENS.
QTEPIi ENS' ORIGINAL BLUE BLACK WRITING
FLUID, also his superior FLUID BLACK INK.
From habit and custom numerous persons prefer the black
dye colours for the purposes of writing. The BLUE BLACK,
Or ORIGINAL WRITING FLUID, invented by me, contains
combinations calculated to insure a higher degree of perma-
nence with greater facilities of writing, more especially with
Steel Pens, than can ever be obtained by the black dye co-
lours, or common ink. The numerous testimonials I have
received from those who have tried it in hot climates, and on
sea voyages, and various other situations, where the incon-
veniences and deteriorations of common ink are found chiefly
to prevail, abundantly prove its great superiority. Those
who object to any thing deviating in appearance from com-
mon Black Ink, will find in the Fluid Black, prepared by me,
a great improvement over other Black Inks in the facility of
writing with Steel Pens, whilst in every other respect it is of
the best possible quality, being prepared upon the best and
most accurate principles. As it is prepared with the fullest
proportions of colouring matter, it may be diluted by those
who do not require ink of the best quality.
N.B.—The various compositions of Black Ink, which have
been advertised so extensively of late as new compositions,
are essentially nothing but common Black Ink, with a new
name only.

*** A trial of either of the above compositions will demon-
strate their general superiority.
