ENTIRELY REMOVED.

| ENTIRELY REMOVED.
DR. ALSOPHERT begs leave to call the
~ attention of those suffering under par
tia or total loss of the sense of hearing, to the
| following facts:
He treats diseases of the middle and internal
ear with medicated douches, such as>is prac-
tised in the Infrmaries of Berlin, Liepsic, Brus-
sells, Hamburg, and St. Petersburg and lately
| by most distinguished London Aurists, with
the most wonderful success indeed, it is the
only method that has been universally sue
cessful
The best proof of the efficacy of this treat
ment will be a reference to nearly nine hundred
names, residents of the United States, Canada
NV Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, who have
| been restored to acute hearing, and not single
solitary case, to our knowledge, did we fail to
effect either partial or total restoration of the
hearing, when our advice and instructions
were carefully adhered to. Many, who could
not hear the report Of pistol at arm length,
/ can now hear watch beat at the distance Of
/ four feet. In case Of mucus accumulation to
the Eustachina tube and tympanum, infama-
| ton of the mucous membrane, nervous affections,
diseases of the membrane tympani, called the
! drum" or, when the disease can be traced to
the effects Of fevers or colds, the use of quinine
/ or me~urial medicines, gathering in the ears
| in childhood, &C.. this treatment stands pre-
eminent. When the auditory canal is dry and
scaly with little or no secretion; when the deaf
ness is accompanied with noise in the ear, like
falling water chirping Of insects. ringing of
bells, rustIing of leaves, continual pulsations.
a discharge of matter, or, when STOPPING, a
sensation is felt as If a rush of blood to the
head had taken place; when the hearing is less
acute in dull, cloudy weather, or when cold
has been taken, this method of treating the
disease is iniaiiible. In deaf and dumb cases,
my experience warrants me in saying that if
| the hearing was good at any time, much can
be accomplished. In the deaf and dumb schools
at Leipsic, out of class of fourteen, / sue
I.eeeded in restoring four 10 acute hearing.
DR.. A. begs explicitly to state that in those
cases he undertakes, he guarantees a successful
result-complete restoration of the sense, or
such marked Improvement as will be perfectly
satisfactory, il his remedies are faithfully ap-
piled and directions adhered to-
Applicants viii please state their age dura-
ton Of the disease if matter issues from the ex-
| ternal passage, If there are noises in the ears
state Of general health, and what they suppose
TO have been the cause of the deafness. When
the hearing is restored, it is expected that those
in easy circumstances will contribute literally.

ton film, and weakness OF vision, graduation

life, all bear testimony to the wonderfully rem
! oyating healing and soothing effects.
