Fromhe Neie York National Democrat:
PRESENTATION TO Dr. ALSOPHERT,

4
! Quite an agreeable affair came off last night
at the Cooper House. DR.. Alsophert, who has
been practising in this city for the past ten
years, has been eminentlY successful in treating
diseases of the Ear and Eve, TO such extent as
to entitle him to the name of a public benefac-
tor. was presented, by some fifty of his former
patients, with a pair Of magnificent SILVER
/ PiTCtiERS, as a slight mark of esteem and
| gratitude to the man who had rendered each
most valuable service The Pitchers bear
suitable inscriptions, and are certainly highly
| creditable to the manufacturers, as well as TO
the taste and generosity Of tho donors. f. NJ.
Meyle, NJ. d., who was depHted TO make the
presentation, expressed the hope that Dr. Also
phert would long be spared to follow in the
path he had chosen, and where be had net
with so much success, and to whom the medi-
cal profession was so much indebted, not only
for his valuable work on diseases Of the car and
eye, but for The many relorlnations introduced
| IN the treatment Of these delicate organs. II
is notorious fact, said Dr. NJ, that the prae-
tice OF Aural Surgery is as sealed book 10
nine-tenths ofthe Physicians, and the difficulty
OF those suffering from defects Of sight or hear
ing, in obtaining relief may he imagined Dr..
Alsophert assuredly deserves the highes, praise
both from the professional and unrroiessional
classes OF society. for dcyoting his energes
and talents to branch Of The healing ant.
where both iame ard pecuniary reward are
doled out most scantily DR.. Mevle' remarks
were eloquent and fattering in the extreme:
the more appreciated by all who heard them.
knowing they were well deserved Dr. Also
phert ieeingly and most appropriately replied
relating some Of his experience since he com
menccd practice in the United States, and de-
picied in graphic and glowing language. the
/ feelings experienced by those who had been
deaf from infancy, orwho had formerly groped
in darkness, on their being restored to light
and TO the world Of sounds The feelings OF
the successful Physician are best expressed IN
DR.. Asophert; own words:
The Merchantmay feel proud and elated,
when his schemes for amassing wealth have
been successful Kings may exult when their
domnions have been extended the Sculptor
may gaze with Arbitration on the htt-like
statue his chsc has created the eve OF the
Student may brighten, as the treasures Of LEARN
ing are exposed TO bis view, or the great truths
! Of science dawn upon him; or the Warrior
heart may bound wish exultahon, as his thnn-
dering squadrons shout the cry Of victory. or
when the wreath of laurel eneirces his brow
yet all these emotions cannot exceed the pleas
ure Of that hour when the Physician sees his
efforts crowned with complete success when he
knows he has been the humble agent In reno
wing the cup Of bitterness from the lips Of his
fellow man.
In deaf and dumb cases, he said. generally
( considered incurablc, he had met with the most
iiattering success and while he confessed that
a majority Of such cases were incurable. vet he
considered that the medical profession had
been shamefully remiss towards this class Of
] uniortnnates. He asserted, and was ready to
/ prove by overwhelming testimony, that every
case Of deafness rcan be cured, except where
! such arises from maliormaiion
The Doctor has been the recipient OF many
/ similar tokens-one from Royalty itself-in the
shape of magnificent CLUSTER PIN. from
the late Queen Adelaide, consort Of King VIII
liam the Fourth-his success in this instance
/ only being partial otherwise Knighthood
might have been conferred Dr. AS Diary
