q hit appears by the observations of the Editors
~ The Nashville Presbyterian, Union and Trans
crypt as well as the editors of the Memphis Enquirer,
that the "old Gentlcman' is among the Doctors This
is proved by his kingly rage knowing that his time is
but short and that the indenendcnt American people
are able TO judge for themselves what puifs aud
impos'tions. The worthy editors who Doctors,
the proprieors, editors or sub-eiors of the above
named journals coll letter from persons nave
restored to SIGHT in the above places, puts.
J. The tact IS, that never had such great success
within so limited period as ten or twelve days. One
who was aged about ten years, who had only the
light from his birth, began to see to follow lis master
to my hotel instead of being obliged be led by him.
Two young adies, who had eachost the sight of one
eve, one for ten wears and the other for nearly two
wears, having both OF them the other eve very weak
vet each of those young ladies began TO see with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues, e
cepting they are under the influence dominate of
the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of n
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never
TO mention, las he paid me my ieas) who said she had
lost the sight of one eye from the age of 10 months,
but that she begins to read large letters wi the
other eye completely shut. This the doctor editors
knew, MS the gentleman told me himself he hNd CON
due ed his daue liter the Office of the medical editors
that they might be Informed of the fact. The last |
shall men ion is an elderly gentleman bv the name of
loun nearly seventy venrs of age, who declared pub
cly by letter, which he took to al the different Offices
in Nashville but one, -nd himself Told ma he had paid
for 'he insertion whatever they don andcd, who d,clar-
ell III that letter that he Ina otalIv deprived OF
the sight ST one from f Ks after his birth
which his mother stated to hn,.. Occasioned by the
measles or small pox; that lie could not only see
the light of the sun for the first time that he reeoecs,
but the stars also and was beginning to distinguish
many Objects and did, before left that city, give ma
ny proof that he could walk about the stree
with the other eye completely closed He said he had
been member Of the Methodist Episcopal Chnrch for
.rv forty years, an that his word never doubt
ed through tll9 V'hoie course ofhis life.
.. rereet tlfs Nal never greater success than at
Nashville, ard i - ne medical nnl clorca doctors
had never befcre t. q, ,c reason TO be cnra-ed The
Mons inlirnafs Reg cInrTnl DR. SI,itl
when stated e that about six wears past he was
converted from bs.na perfect ime believe in the
doctrn of 'he Bible, that he must have made lrifing
efor-that e must have meant to say, tn before the
end of six years come, he sht uld be converted from
his inflelity, the spirit Of the minister Of the
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does not breathe out destruction, rage, caumuv and
tasehood TO please his medical friends, against the
man whom he knew had done much good ard no in
jury to any All the inhabitants of Nashville spoke
of the great success had Except the medical doctors
Most them also had been informed by Mir lount of
the cure performed on his totally blind eye.
