From the Ne.c York "National Democrat"
PRESENTATION TO DR.. ALSOPHERT.
Quite an agreeable affair came of last night at
the Cooper House. DR.. A'sophert, who has besn
practising in this city for the past ten years, has
been eminently successful in treating diseases OF
the ear and eye, to snch extent as to entte him
to the name of public benefac'or, was presented
by some fifty of his former patients, with pair
Of magnificent Silver Pitchers, as a token of their
esteem and gratitude to the man who had rendered
each most invaluable service. The Pitchers besr
suitable Inscriptions, and are certainly highly
creditabIe to the manufacturers as we'll as to the
taste and generosity of the donors. Ed. Z. Moyle
M. d., DO was deputed to make the presentation,
expressed the hope that DR.. AlsoPhsrt would long
be spared to follow in the path he had chosen. and
where he met with so much success, and to whsn
the medical profession was SO much indebtej ), not
only for his valuable work on disea es OF the ear
and ere, but for thu many reformstions introduced
in the treatment Of tNese delicate organs. II isa
notorious fact, said DR.. NJ, that the p actic of
Aura Surgery is as sealed book to nine tenths of
from de ective sight hearing, in obtaining relief
NAV be imagined. Dr.. AlsoV bert assuredly de-
serves the highest praise both from the professional
and uuprofessonal classes Of society, for devotng
his energies and talents to branch OF the healing
art, where both fame and pecuniary reward are
dolsd out most scantily. DR.. Moyle's remprks were
eloquent and tterirg in the extreme; the more
appreciated by all who heard thin, knewing they
were we'll dessrved; DR.. AL ophert feelingly and
most appropriately replied; relating some Of his
ted States, and depicted in graphic. and glowing

ness, on their being restored to light and to the
world of sounds. The feelings of the successful
Physician are best expressed in Dr. Alsophert's own
words:
"The Merchant may feel proud and elated when
his schemes for amassing wealth have been sue
cessJul, Kings may exu!t whom their domini ops
have been extended, the Sculptor may gaze with
the felike statue bis chisel has Gre
ated, tle eye OF tn. student may brighten, as the
treasures IT learning exposed to his view or the
gIeat truth of science dawn upon him, or thu war
riors heart may beat with exulta ton, as his thun-
de1ng squGdrons shout the cry of victory, or when
the wreath of laurel encircles his brow, yet all
these emotions cannot exceed the pleasures OF that
hour when the Physician sees bis efforts crowned
with complete success, when he kRows he has been
The humble agent Of removing he cup Of bitter
ness from his fellew-man."
In deaf and dumb cases he said, generally consid-
ared in cur able he ad met with the most fatterng
u,cess-and while he confessed that majority of
such eases were incurable, yet he considered that
The medical profession has been shamefally remiss
towards.this class of unfortunates. He asserted
And was ready to prove by overwhelming testimony
that every case of deafness can BE- cured, except
where such arises from mal-fOI nation.
