DEAFNESS CURED, AND ALL DISEASES OF
THE EAR.

MR. BENNETT, the eminent AIIRIST, 28, NORTON-
STREET, Islington, Liverpool, has the honour of an-
nouncing his arrival in Liverpool from Lever-street, Manches•
ter, where, during a Six Months' Visit, 160 persons have been
permanently CURED by him of DEAFNESS, many having
been Deaf from Twenty to Forty Years, to whom those simi-
larly afflicted may be referred. For Lists of Cures performed
there see Manchester and Birmingham Newspapers ; also'
Reports of Cures performed by him.
In cases of a recent.nature instantaneous relief is afforded,
without the slightest pain or inconvenience, whilst those of a
more inveterate nature a few weeks suffices to perform a com-
plete and radical cure.
Those afflicted are informed that he may be Consulted at his
Residence, 28, Norton-street, Islington, Liverpool, every day,
Sundaysincluded, from Ten till Five, on all diseases of the Ear.
The infallible success attending his peculiar mode of treatment,
being free from any of those dangerous and experimental ope-
rations usually resorted to, is clearly exemplified by the nu-
merous cures performed by him, not only in Manchester and
Birmingham, above referred to, but in almost every tawn in
England, France, and America, coupled with the high Testi-
mianials, both oral and documentary, from the Faculty, and the
number of persons, still resident in the town, who have becik
cured by him, render any further comment unneces6arr.
Mr. Bennett's published Works on Diseases of the Ear and
Deafness are admitted by the London and Provincial Press to
be the best extant.
