LOUISVILLE.
70 the Editor of the Louisville .4drertiser:
SIR-It appears by the observations Of the Ed tors
- of the Nashville Presbyterian, tInien and Trans
Crypt, as well as the editors Of the Memphis Enquirer,
that the "Old Gentleman is among the Doctors This
is proved by his kinsly rage knowing that his time is
but short, and that tn. independent American peore
are able to Judge for themselves what are pufs and
impostions. The verify editors who are Doctors,
the prnrrletors, editors or sub.e.tors Of the above
named journals call every letter from persons have
restored ID to sight in thu eb,ve places, puts.
4 The fact is, that never had such great success
within so limited period ten twelve days. One
who was aged about ten years. who had only seen the
light from his BIRTH began to acc to follow his master
Two young ladies, who had each lost the sight Of one
eye, one Tor ten wears and the other for nearly two
years, having both OF them the other eye very weak
yet each OF those young ladies began to see with both
cepting they are under the influence or domination of
the Medical Doctors. Another ia the daughter Of
respectable merchant, whose name am bound never
to mention, las he paid me my feesl who said se had
lost the sight Of one eye from the age Of 10 MONTHS
but that she now begins to Rad large letters with the
other eye ccmpletel, shut This the doctor editors
knew, as the gentleman told me hmselfhe bid con-
that they might be informed of the fact. The last
shall men.ion is elderly gentleman by the name Of
Yount nearly seventy Of age, who declared pub
licy by letter, which he took to .ll the different offices
in Nashville but one, and himself told me he had paid
ofihe insertion whatever they demanded who declar.

ed through the whole course 0fhis life.
g. repeat thetL had greater success than a,
Nashville, npc ths2 the medical and clerca! doctors
had never befcre 70 mich reason to be cnraged. The
pous Indignation Of tae Rev. clerical DR. Smith proves
when stated ne that about six years past he was
converted from being perfect inde believe in the
doctrin Of The Bibe that he have made ,rine
error.tlat must have naanr to sny, III before the

peaceful and benign doctrines Of the Christian religion
does not breathe out destruction rage calumny and
iasehood 70 please ms medical friends, against the
jury to any one. All the inhabitants Of Nashville spoke
o. the great success had s-cePt the medical doctors
Most OF them also had been informed by Mr. Youut Of
tle'gure performed on his totally blind eye

have lost the a,rels gained in the NORTH, since nv
arrival in the Southwest 1hs proves, however, had
gnncd one in the NORTH ought to have gained auotl
or in the south and ssutwest and still hope to wear
them on my very youthful brow the day leave, in
