A F'rightfuI NIaIady-SpeciaItIe in NIetii-
cal Science.

The medical profession of the world owes
its best literature and its grandest trIumphs to
the representative men who have devoted
years Of labor and study to special depart
ments-men who, like Sir Ashley Cooper.
Gross, Mott, Dudley, Blackman, Cazeaux,
Bedford, Meigs, Trosseau, Churchill Watson,
Tanner, Flint and Wood, have devoted their
useful lives and best attainments to the
specialities with which their names are honor
ably identified. There is enough, certainly,
in any one branch of medical science, to call
into play the highest mental endOwments-and
it Is only in concentrated application, and in
years of labOriOus study, that the names we
have quoted have been made illustrious in the
profession. Emu lOus of this well deserved
fame, and intent on contributing something to
the best good Of humanity, IN critical inves-
tigatiOn of the pathology and treatment of
Epilepsy, DR.. Chas. D. Pearson, of Lafayette,
Ind, a reputable physician of long standing,
has for twenty years devoted himself almost
without reserve, to the study of this terrible
malady. That for eighteen centuries this dis
ease should have been deemed incurable is a
reprOach to the profession. That DR.. p. has
completely mastered the malady, in all its sub
| tie and diversified forms, is attested by an
overwhelming weight of evidence. A cloud of
witnesses certify to the wonderful cures he
has effected. This NAV seem almost fulsOme
in praise, and may provoke unllind rehec-
ton from medical cynics, welded to all that is
absurd in their ethics but the writer, indiffer-
ent alike to their praise or their censure,
speaks for himself, in heartfelt gratitude for
the deliverauce of a dear child from the terri
bic bondage of this disease. Mental derange-
| ment and partial paralysis were among the de-
| plorable complications of this fearful calamity
| to our house and heart. Five years have elaps-
| ed. The restoration, mental and physical, is
complete, and the cure Is permanent. It were
worth while to have lived to have effected one
such cure-and as we read the grateful testi-
mOnials of hundreds, equally afflicted, and to
/ whom DR.. Pearson has been proyidentially in
| strumental in complete restoration, we feel
| that no poor word of ours can add to his en-
during fame, as the great master of the most
| terrible malady which affiicts humanity. The
