NOW AT THE JEFFERSON HOUSE, JEFFERSON STREET,
LOUISVILLE.
To the Editor of The Louisville .4dpertiser: :
& IR-It appears by the observations of the Editors
- of the Nashville Presbyterian, Union and Trans
cript, we'll the editors of the Memphis Enquirer
that the "Old Gentleman is among the Doctors. THIS
is proved by his knglv rage knowing that his time is
but short and that til. independent American people
able to judge for themselves what are pulls and
impostons. The worthy editors who are Doctors,
the proprictors, editors or subedtors of the above
named journals, call every letter from persons have
restored to sight in thu above places, puts.
|. The fact is, thut never had such great success
within SO limit period ten twelve days. One
who was aged about ten years, who had only seen the
light from his BIRTH hogan to see to follow his master
to my hotel instead of being obliged to be led by him.
Two Young ladies, who had each lost the sight of
eve one for years and the other for nearly two
years, having both OF them the other eye very weak;
vet each of those young ladies' began to with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues,
cepting they under the influence or dominate N of
the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of
mention, las he paid my ecs), who said she had
lost the sight of eye from the age of 10 months,
but that she now begins to read large letters with the
other eye completely shut. This the doctor editors
knew, the gentleman told me hmselfhe had con- |
duce his daue liter to the Office of the medical editors
that they might be informed of the fact The last
shall men ion is an elderly gentleman by the name of
Youn nearly seventy years of ages who declared pub
lcy by letter. which he took to all the different offices
in Nashville but one, and himself told me he had paid
for the insertion whatever they demanded, who dccar
ed i'll that letter that he ha otalIy deprived OF
the sight Of one ave from f. Ks after his birth,
which his mother stated to ,u. occasioned by the
measles or small pox that nov ne could not only see
the light of the sum- for the first time that he ecollects
but the stars nlso, and was beginning to distinguish
many objects; and did, before left that city, give
ny proof that he could to walk about the streets
with the other eye completely closed. He said he had
been member Of the Methodist Episcopal Church for
ne,ry forty AMI that his word wa never doubt
ed through the whole course ofhis life.
.. repeat tkes4 had greater success than at
Nashville, ard THAI che medical and clerical doctors
had never hefote mach reason to be enragcd. The
pious Indignation Of lie Rev. clerical DIR Smith proves,
wel, ne stated to that about six years past he
converted from being perfec, infdel to believe in the
doctrin of The Bible, that he must have made ing
error-ttat have meant to say, tn before tho
end of six wears come, he should be converted from
his infeity the spirit of the true minister of the
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does rJt breathe ont destruction, rage, culumny and
alsellood to please his medical friends, against the
man whom he knew had done so much good and no in
jury to any one. All the inhabitants of Nashvil. spoke
of the great had except the medical doctors.
Most of them also had been informed by Mr. YouHt Of
the cure performed on his totally blind eye.
8. The famous Go iah S ofths town, pretends that
have lost the la1res gained in the Morrill, since my
arrival in the Southwest. This proves, however, had
and that kept them until arrived in this section. II
gained one in the NORTH ought to have gained anoh
or in the south ard southwest and still hope wear
them my very youthful brow on the day leave, in
spite of the rituperaion of the great DIR s., if may
, judge from the man> ave already benefited in this
. city within three days.
j. The object of the present is to inform the medi
cal Goahs and editors of he Republican and Trans
scrpt as we'll as the clerical DIR Smith Of the c. Pres
bvteran and of the Union of Nashville, well as the
