Drs. LIoHTmLL & SMITH-Dear Sirs I take
pleasure in stating for the benefit Of the public,
that your operation on my son Josies ear, for the
removal of large sized glass bead, which remain

successful. His hearing is restored and his gen
eral health much improved. The bead in his eai
not only resulted in deafness, but seriously affect

debility. Having had our son operated on by
regular physicians without the desired result, we
were about despairing Of his hearing ever being
restored, when we noticed your card in the paper,
and knowing your reputation as skilful specia-
lists, we improved the opportunity of consulting
you at Burlington, and the result is as above sta

10, 1870.
DRs. LIGH1HILL & SMyIA-Dear Sir. take
pleasure in stating that during the last weeks
have been under your treatment for Chronic Ca
tarrh, and the result thus far has been in the
highest degree satisfactory to me-much more so
than | had reason to anticipate. The disease
which had troubled me for about four years, and
for which had tried many kinds of remedies
without avail, seems to be rapidly becoming re-
moved. l cannot too highly recommended your
careful and skilful treatment.
| would state also that my wife, who has been
under your treatment for the same length of time
for partial deafness of long standing, joins with
me in her of her CASE care
the present time, the symptoms quite plainly in
dictate substantial and permanent benefit if not
a perfect and complete cure.
Feeling perfectly confident that those similarly
troubled if they apply to you, will not find them
selves deceived and defrauded, but honestly ad-
vised, and professionally treated with intelligence
and skill, | make this statement in regard to my
own experience with entire cheerfulness.
Yours truly,
HENRY BALLARD.
/ RECENT CONFIRMATION. Burlington, Feb.

that having continued your treatment, | have
steadily improved in general until now consider
the disease fully removed.

A curious story is told of the discovery
of the Amador mine, now the richest in
the world The mine was first COM
menced by Vermontcr named Hayward,
whe was soon after joined by another
Vermonter named Chamberlain. Cham
berlain at last became discouraged, but
Hayward stuck to it, but his men all left
him, and he was on the point of starva-
ton. He then went to Chamberlain for
some money, but was refused, but before
he closed the interview! Chamberlain gave
him $3000-all he had in the world.
"Take it, old fellow" he said, with CAL
ifornia heartiness "do your best" With
this money Hayward recommended, and
he had worked until it was all spent, and
his men were reduced to bag of beans
for nourishment, when to the gloom OF
hope the precious ore blazed suddenly up.
When the mine was paying 100000, a
month, Hayward made over to his friend
one perfect third of it. Chamberlain re-
tired upon 81 100000, and moved east
to educate his children, Hayward buying
back the whole Finally, even Hayward
grew tired and he sold out the mine to n
stock company The mine will make
100000 net this year, and its president
said last week "'The Amador mine will
hold out longer than we will"
