From Rev. JOHN MOTT, D. D., Profes sor in Union College Schenectady.

sor 1n Union College, Schenectady.
 Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which l received from the skillf,,i treat ment of Dr. Lishthill. in regard to my hearing, letters of Inquiry have necessarily poured up- on me from all parts of tie country from par ties desiring 70 learn the particulars Of my case, and am indeed surprised at the mum Dor ot individuals wiio are affected similar to the manner in which have been, and therefore feel it more aud more sacred duty which owe to those sufferers, to direct them to a proper and reliable source 10 obtain the bene- ht they so much covet. and which so many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain, just as had done previous to applying to Dr. Lighthill.
 had bad from infancy ons Every deaf ear which always discharged more or less offensive matter, and was the source ot the greatest au noyance and discomfol to me- Last year the other ear also became diseased. and both ears dlschalgea yellow matter very profuse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much inquired and the discharge produced the greatest debility of body and depressfUh of spirits. Iapplied to my family physician and other practitioners without deriving any ben eft, and almost despa;rcd of being restol cd to health. when providentially, I'applied to Dr. Lightlili. Under this treatment my ears be- gan to improve ut once. and con tinued to dc 50, uhtll, ln q comparatsve short time, both cars were healed, the eischargo removed, and my hearing restored. At first feared he cure would not be permanent, or that the stoppage of discharges of so llng standing might prove detrimental to my general hcalth,' fear which ftnd great many entertain in regard to the cmoyal of discharge from the ear NJ, experience, however, has proved conclusivcy that my upprch ensons were entirely ground less in both respects, for both ears arc as well and ny hearing as good at present. as the dny left of treatment. and the st6ppagss of tho discharge, instead of proving detrimental to my health, has given me the highest elasticity and sigoi of body, and Il flow of spirits not ex. periehcs.'! for q long time previous.
 l wish the above statement might serve as q iieneral answer to those interested. but should one or tho other desire to apply to me person ally or by letter. l wll chbcrfully satisfy all reasonable demau'ls upon my time.
 avail myself of this opportunity of again publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude to Dr. Lixhthifl, whom I esteem as a gentle man and man of science, in whom the high. est confidence may be placed.
