ow, Scotland,

SlR,—This is to certify, that I was nearly blind (amaurosis)
of the right eye, and very deficient of sight of the ether 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

-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, ]5 years of age,
was blind, through a violent inflammation and films, and
was in the North Staffordshire Infirmary for a 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 £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.

lam" Sir,—Mr. NEWEROOKS, 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.

10.
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 treatthent for two months, I am happy to
say that my leftjeye 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.

am a seafaring man, of the age or 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 1)o relief from the doctors here,
who call it amaurosis; but bearing 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 sidtt 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.

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.

IVM. PAItKINSON, No. 4.4, Vienna-street, Leeds, had
been nearly blind for 23 years, and in six weeks he could see
to read the smallest prin . 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 hare ended in total dark-
ness, i.e. guttce serene.

15.
Mr. Baxter is successor to his Father, who practised upon
the eve 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.
