To Tie Editor IF Tie Louisville .4arertiser:
GIR-lt appears by the observations OF the Editors
s'of the Nashville Presbyterian, unen and Trans,
crpt, IA well as the editors of the Memphis Enquirer,
that the sold Gentleman is among the Doctors. rms
is proved by his kinslv rage, knowing that his time is
but SHIRT, and that tn 1lencndent American neoNe
a1e able Judge for themselves what are pulls and
inipos'tions. The worthy editors who are Doctors,
the prrprc,ors, editors sub.eitors Of the above
named journals, call every letter from persons have
restored to sight in III: nb.ve places, puts.
J. The fact is, that never hal such great success
within so limited period as tsn twelve days. One
who was ugcd about ten years. who had only seen the
light from his BIRTH began to soc TO follow his ma ter
to my hotel instead Of being obliged be led by him
Two young ladies, who had each lost the sight Of one
years, having both OF them the other eye very weak;
vet ench Of those Young ladies' began see with both
eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues OK
cepting they are under the influence dominant Of
the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of
respectable merchant, WI osc name am bound never
to nention las he paid me my fees who said she had
but that she now begins to read large letters with the
other eye ccmplelel, shut This the doctor editors
knew, ms the gentleman told me hinselfhe h,d con-
due ed his DAUGHTER to the Office Of the medical editors
that they might be informed of the fact. The last
s.a! men ion is mi elderly gentleman by the of
You' nearly seventy years of age who declared pub
in Nashville but one ,nd himself told me- he had paid
for he insertion whatever they demanded, who dc1ar-
III that letter that lie ha oallv deprived of
the sight at one aye from f ks rftcr his birth,
Which his mother stated to mu. occasinncd by the
measles small pox; that re could only
the light Of the SUM- for the frs, time that 's rec"ects
but the Stars also, and was beginning to distinguish
many objects; md did, before left that city, give
ny proof that he could see to walk about the str
with the other eye completely closed He snid he h,d
been member OF the Methodist Episcopal Church ior
ne rly forty vesre an that his word wa doubt
ed through tie whole course ofhis life
