TESTIMONIALS OF REMLRkAB1E CURES.

TESTIMONIALS OF REMARKABLE CURES.
Among the numerous testimonials in his
possession, DR.. Lighthill has selected few
only of those from parties of established
position and well known throughout the
country.
From the New York Home Journal Of June 4.
In every business or profession, indeed
in every department of science or skill,
there is always some acknowledged head
some one who stands out in bold relief
among his fellows as sort of leader. In
the study and treatment of Deafness and
Cstsrrh, as special diseases, DR.. 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 industry. The editorial columns
of the Tribune, of a recent date bear wit
ness to the Doctors success in this depart
ment of medicine. We quote the para
graph.
CURE OF DEAF MUTE.-Louis Loew-
instein, lad of fourteen years of age, born
in Germany, came to this city when he
was about two years old. Soon after his
arrival here he was taken sick and lost his
hearing. By degrees he became first deaf
and then dumb. For nearly ten years he
was mute, and unable to hear the loudest
sound or to articulste word. About one
year sgo he was placed by his parents in
the hands of DR.. Lighthill, who 60 far sue
ceeded in restoring him to his lost powers
of hearing and utteFsnee that he can con-
verse with those who speak to him distinct
ly and deliberately. DuIing the past four
or five month he has been under the tut
ton of DR.. Bennickie, and he has made
considerable progress in reading and arith-
metic.
Having been supplied with the lads ad-
dress we further investigated the matter,
and discovered that previous to calling on
DR.. Lighthill, the youths case was consid-
cred hopeless, and he was for two years an
inmate of the Deaf and Dumb Asylum
The Rev. John Mott, D. D., Professor in
Union College, Schenectady, in publish
ed letter, tenders his gratitude to Dr. Light
hill for treating successfully his case of
deafness. Rev. Fred S. NeWall, Professor
at the State Normal School at Albany, al.
SO testihes to having been cured of catarrh.
DR.. Lighthill possesses other testimonials
and tributes Of talent from some of our
Weslthiest and most prominent and respect
ed citizens, which may be seen on applica-
tion. 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.
