!: The fact is, that never had such great success
within so limited period as ten or twelve days. One
VINO was aged annt ten years. who had only seen the
light from ms birth, began to to follow his
to my hotel, instead of being obliged to be led by him
fwo Young ladies' who had eachost the sight of one
eve one Tor ten wears and the other for nearly two
years, 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 ex
cepting they are under the influence dominate N of
the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of a
respectable merchant, whose name l am bound never
to mention, las he paid my fees who said she had
lost the sight of eye from the age of 10 months
but that she begins read large letters with th,
other. eve completely shut. This the doctor editors
knew, as the gentleman told me himself he had con-
due ed his daughter 10 the office of the medical editors.
'ha, they might be informed of he fact. The last
shall men ion is an elderly gentleman by the name of
oun nearly seventy wears of age, who declared pub
cly by letter, which he took all the different offices
IN Nashville but one, and himself told me he had paid
tor he insertion whatever they den andcd who dscar-

which his mother stated to h,n .-o ccasnned by the
measles small pox; that re could not only see
the light of the sun, for the first time that e reeoiec,s
but the also, and was beginning to distinguish
many objects; and did. before left that city, give ma
ny proof that he could to walk about the streets
with the other eve completely closed. He said he had
been member OF the Methodist Episcopal Church for
ne rly forty wears an that his word never doubt
ed through the Whole course ofhis life.
9. repeat .hett ',ad greater success than at
Nashville, ard thst she medical and clerica doctors
had never befcIe &c m ieh he enraged. The
pious Indignation ct In Rev. clerical Dir Smith proves
when stated TO that about six wears past he was
converted frnrc being perfec, inda to believe in the
doctn of he Biple that he have mad, ,rAino
error-that must have meant to say, tn tbefore tho
end Of SIX years come. he should be converted from
his nilcitv, the spirit of the true minister of the
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does not breathe out dest,uction rage, calunnv and
alsehood to please his medical friends, against the
man whom he knew had done much good, and no in
jury to any one. All the inhabitants nf Nashville spoke
Of the great 'cc1ss bad, s-cept the medical doctors
Most of them also had been informed by iIr Yount of
the cure performed on his totally blind eve.
D. he lannon's Go iah ;. oithis town, pretends that
have lost the la,rels gained in the Nor, since nv
arrival in the Southwest. This proves, however i had
and that kept them until arrived in this section If
gained one the NORTH ought to have gained anoth-
er in tho nth and southwest, and still hope to wear

spite OF the evaporation of the great DR. S. if NAV

ETY. within three DAYS.
