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

IS 4O2A 1ASS. vS44AN &NO44 O. O., 3xO466 sor in Union College, Schenectady. Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skillful treat |ment of Dr. Lighthill, in regard to my hearing letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up lon mo from all parts of the country from par |ties desiring to learn the particulars of my |of individuals who are affected similar to the manner in which I have been, and therefore |feel it more and more a sacred duty which lowe to those sufferers, to direct them to a proper and reliable source to obtain the bene- fit they SO much covat, and which so many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain, just as I had done previous to applying to Dr. |Lighthill.
 I had bad from infancy one very deaf ear (which always discharged more or less offensive matter, and was the source of the greatest an lnoyance and discomfort to me. Last year the Iothtr ear also became diseased, and both ears discharged 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. Iapplied to my family physician and |other practitioners without deriving any ben left, and almost despa;red of being restored to health, when providentially, I applied to Dr. ILighthill. Under this treatment my ears be. oS [so, until, in comparative short time, both Tears were healed, the discharge removed, and Imy hearing restored. At first feared the cure |would not be permanent, or that the stoppage |of discharges of so ltng standing might prove detrimental to my general health, fear which find great many entertain in regard Ito the removal of discharge from the ear. My experience, however, has proved conclusively that my apprehensions were entirely ground
 less in both respects, for both ears are as we'll, and my hearing as good at present, as the day h left of treatment. and the stoppages 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 ex- perienced for long time previous.
 I wish the above statement might serve as a feneral answer to those interested. but should one or the other desire to apply to me person Ially. or by letter, will cheerfully satisfy all 'reascnable demands upon nay time.
 avail myself of this opportunity of agair publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude l to Dr. Lighthill, whom I esteem as a gentle. man and a man of science. in whom the high
 est confidence may be placed. JOHN EOTT.s
