To The Editor of The Louisville .4drertiser:
g IRIt appears by the observations Of the Cd tors
y of The Nashville Presbyterian Union and Trans
crpt well the editors of the Memphis Enquirer,
that the sold Gentleman is among the Doctors Tins
is proved by his kinsy rage, knowing that his time is
but short, and that TIL. independent American people
able to judge for themselves what are pmffs and
impositions. The verify editors who are Doctors,
named iournals, call every letter from persons have
restored to sight in the above places, puts.
l. The fact is, that never had such great success
who aged about ten years, who had only the
light from his birth, began tn follow his master
to my hotel, instead Of being Obliged be led by HIM
Two young ladies' who had each lost the sight of one
eye, one for ten years. md the other for nearly two
years. having both Of them the other eye verv weak
yet each Of those young ladies began to see with both
| eyes, which benefit pledge myself still continues,
cepting they are under the influence or domination Of
| the Medical Doctors. Another is the daughter of
respectable merchant whose name bound never
to MENTION las he paid fees), who said she had
lost the sight of one eye from the age of 10 months,
but thatslc begins to read large letters with the
other eye completed, shut. This the doctor editors
knew, the gentleman told me hmselfhe had
nc ed his daughter the office Of the medical editors.
that they might be Informed Of the fact. The last
shall mcnon is an elderly gentleman by the name of
/ Yount nearly seventy of age who declared pub
licy by letter, which he tonk to all the different offices
in Nashville but one, md himself told he had paid
for the insertion whatever they demanded, who decar-
ell ia that letter that he la totally deprived Of
the sight ef one aye from f Ks after his birth,
which his mother slated to ,,u. occasioned iy the
measles or small pox that now could not only see
the light Of the SUM- for the first time that he recoiects
hut the s,ars also, and was beginning to distinguish
many Objects and did before left that city, give ma
nv proof that ha could see to walk about The STR cts
with the other eve completely closed. He said he had
been Il member Of the Methodist Episcopal Chnrb for
ne rly forty years. and flat his word wa never doubt
ell through the whole course ofhs life.
9. repeat thcsE had never greater success than at
Nashville and thas the medical and clerical doctors
had never before 30 mach reason 10 he cnrased. The
pous indignation Of ID, Rev. clerical DR. Smith proves
when We stated to me TINT about six venrs past he was
converted from being perfect nid believe in the
docn of The Bible, that he must have made ,rifiny
error-hat must have meant to sav til before tho
end of six wears come, he should he converted from
his nfdclity, the spirit Of the minister of the
peaceful and benign doctrines of the Christian religion
does not breathe out destruction, rage, cnumny and
tnschood please his medical friends against the
whom he knew had done much good, and no in
jury to any All the inhabitants Of Nashville spoke
Of the great success had, e"cept the medical doctors
Most of them also had been informed by Mr. iount of
the cure pcrfnrmcd on his totally blind eye.
