In every business or profession, indeed in every
department of science Skill there is always some
acknowledged head-s0me ono who stands out in
bold relief among his fellows, as sort of leader.
In tho study and treatment Of deafness and catarrh
as special diseases, DIR. 4. b. LIGHTHILL, of this
city, occupies just the position above described.
He has devoted years of labor to this speciality, and
is now reaping the reward Of his industry. The
editorial columns of the Tribune, Of recent date,
bear witness to the Doctors success in this depart
ment of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
CURE OF DEAF MUTE.--LoUIs LoEwINsTEIN,
to this city when he was about two years old. Soon
after his arrival here he taken sick and lost his
hearing. By degrees he became first deaf and then
dumb. For nearly ten years he was mute. unable
to hear the loudest voice. or to articulate word
About one year ago he placed by his parents in
ceeded in restoring to him his lost powers Of hear
ing and utterance that he can converse with those
who speak to him distinctly and deliberately. Dur
ing the past four or five months he has been under
erable progress in reading and arithmetic"
further Investigated the matter, and discovered
that, previous to calling. on DR.. LIGHTHrLL, the
youths case was considered hopeless and he was for
two years an inmate Of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum. The Rev.. JOHN NoTT, ID, Professor in
Union College SchepectSdy in published 6 letter
successfully his case Of Deafness. Rev. FRED. S.
JEWELL, Professor of the State Normal School at
Albany, also esties to having been cured Of catarrh
DIR. LIGHTHILL possesses other testimonials and
tributes to his talent from some Of our wealthiest
and most prominent and respected citizens, which
may be seen on application. 1t would be difficult
to speak in any but terms Of praise of his treatment
in the face Of these many proofs and facts testify
ing to his success.
