there in constant attendance.

parties, are published for the benefit Of those

Letter from Rev. DR.. John Mott, Professor
in Union College. Schenectady.
Since first publicly acknowledged the great
benefit which received from the skillful treat
ment of DIR. Lghthill, in regard to my hearing,
letters of inquiry have necessarily poured upon
me from all parts Of the country from parties
desiring to learn the particulars OF my case,
and 1 am indeed surprised at the number of in
dividuals who are affected similar to the man.
ner in which have bsen, and therefore feel it
more and more sacred duty which i owe to
those sufferers, to direct them to proper and
reliable source to obtain the benefit they so
much coyet, and which so many afflicted ones
have hitherto sought in vain, Just as had done
previous to applying to DR.. Lghthill.

which always discharged more or less offensive
matter, and was the source OF the greatest an

other ear also became diseased, and both ears

highly offensive. My hearing became very

greatest debility of body and depression OF

other practitioners with 3ut deriving any bene-

to health, when proyidentally, l applied
to Doctor Lighthill. Under his treatment
my ears began to improve at once and con-
tinued to do SO, until, in a comparative
short time, both ears were healed, the dis
charge removed, and my hearing restored.
At first feared the cure would not be per.
so long standing might prove detrimental to
my general health, a fear which find a grea
many entertain in regard to the removal of dis
charge from the ears. My experience, how
ever, has proved conclusiyely that my appre-
tensions were entirely groundless in both re-
spects, for both ears are we'll, and my hear
ing as good at present, as 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 a flow of spirits not experienced
for a long time previous.

reasonable demands upon my time.

publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude
TO DR.. Lighthill, whom esteem as gentleman
and a man Of science, in whom the highest con-
fdence may be placed. JOHN MOTT.
From James Cruik shank, LII. D.. Editor
N. Y. Teacher, Albany, n. Y.
This may certify that, having been afflicted
during the year 1856 with severe and almost
total deafness, and having tried the ordinary
medical and surgical aid, under the care of
those esteemed as eminent practitioners, 1 was
induced at last to put.myself under the care of
DIR. f. b. Lighthill. His treatment was brief
and successful. 1 was completely restored,
and the cure is apparently permanent. have
all confidence in DR.. LIS skill and integrity in
the diseases he makes specialities.
