Letter from Rev. DIR. John Mott. Professor
in lnion college. Schenectady.
Since first publicly Acknowledged the great
benefit which ! received from the skiilful treat
ment of Or. Lishthili, in regard to my hearing,
letters of inquiry have necessarily poured upon
me from all parts OF the country from parties
and am indeed surprised at the number of in
dividuals who are affected similar to the man
ner in which have been, and therefore feel it
more and more sacred duty which j owe to
those sufferers, to direct them 10 q proper and
reliable source TO obtain the benefit they SO
much coyet, and which so m any afflicted ones
have hitherto sought in vain, Just as had done
previous to applying to Dr.. Lighthill.
/ had had from infancy one very deaf ear
which always discharged me- or less offensive
matter. and was the source of ths greatest an
noyance, and discomfort to me. Last year the
Other ear also became diseased, and both ears
soharged a yellow matter very profuse and
highly offensive. My hearing became very
much impaired and the discharge produced the
greatest debility of body and depression of
spirits. i applied 10 my family physician and
other practitioners with nut deriving any bene-
fit, and almost despaired of being restored
TO health, when providentially, / applied
to Doctor Lishtbill. Under his treatment
my ears began TO improve at once and con-
tinued to DO so, until, in comparative
short time, both ears were healed, the dis
charge removed, and my hearing restored.
At first feared the cure would not be per-
manent, or that The stoppage of a discharge of
so long standing might prove detrimental to
my general health, a fear which find great
MANY entertain in regard to the removal of dis
charge from the ears. My experience, how
ever, has proved conciusively that my appre-
tensions were entirely groundless in both re-
spects, for both ears are as we'll, and my hear
ing as good AT present, the day left off
treatment, and the stoppage Of the discharge.
instead OF proving detrimental to my health,
has given me the highest elasticity and vigor
OF body, and flow of spirits not experienced
for a long time previous.
wish the above statement might serve rs
general answer TO those interested, but shou Id
one or the other desire to apply to me person.
ally, or by letter, will cheeriuily satisfy all
reasonable demands upon my time.
/ avail myself OF this opportunity OF again
publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude
10 Dr. Lighthill, whom / esteem as a gentleman
and man Of science, in whom the highest coa-
fdepce may be placed. JOHN MORT

This may certify that, having been afflicted
during the year 1856 with severe an almost
total deafness, and having tried the ordinary
medical and surgical aid, under the care Of
those esteemed eminent practitioners, was
induced at last to put myself under the care OF
DR.. f.. b. Lighthill. His treatment was brief
and successful. l was completely restored,
and the cure is apparently permanent. have
