Mr.. EDIToR:-I would be pleased to
have the following inserted in the REPUB-
LIcAN: This world might be likened
unto vast hospital, full of afflicted and
sick humanity, some already dead, and
some dying, but generally speaking, it is
not for the want of physicians that any
die-for great are the multitudes thereof
but it is for the lack of energy, persev-
erance and skill, in the physicians, that
many suffering being falls victim to
disease. But when a person has been
suffering under the influence of an OBJ
stinate disease, and having been delivered
from its effects by being cured, it is his
duty to publish the cure far and wide, for
the benefit of suffering humanity gener-
ally, and for those similarly afflicted, es-
pecially
Such is the case that I have to relate.
About five years ago my wife had sew
ere attack of cold in her head, which re-
suited in Inflammation Of the eyes,produc-
ing partial blindness for more than two
weeks. When that subsidized, it become ap-
parent that one of her eyes had become
granulated, and that the nasal duct, con-
veying the water from the eye to the nos
tril and throat, had become obstructed so
that she could not see to read or to look
steadily at an object for one twinkling, but
that it appeared blurred on account OF the
water filling the eye, and continually run
ming over the lid down her face, which
caused her great trouble and annoyance.
She was also suffering from an affection
of Catarrh in the throat, which every
slight attack of cold would irritate so'that
she was never free from sore throat. In
fact her general health had become SO
poor, and her constitution so reduced that
she would take cold from the slightest ex
| posture, even in the best of weather; she
| was subject to chills and fever continual
ly. After consulting several Physicians
and Oculists especially, we concluded to
put the case under the Medical treatment
of Dr.C. E. Houghman, of the Eye and
Ear Infrmary, 22o Wisconsin ST., Mil
waukee, Wis. Suffice it to say of the
case, that after being skillfully treated by
DR.. Houghrnan for some weeks. she was
completely renewed in her general health,
and as regards the operation on the~eye,
which was a very difficult one It was
performed in the most scientific and skill
full manner, and was a complete success
in fact all his various treatments CT the
case has been blessed with the happiest
results.
DR.. Houghman's method of treating
the Eye, Ear and Catarrh which are his
specialities is perfectly ingenious and his
success is altogether marvellous; single
visit to the Infrmary is enough to con-
vince the most sceptical. Too much
praise cannot be given DIR. Houghman fo1
the courteous, generous and conscien.
tious manner with which he treated oul
case, especially do mention with sincere
gratitude, the favors extended by him tc
me and mine, as also those received from
Mr.. Davies, Of the late firm of Morton's
Pharmacy, and not excepting to mention
the great and many kindness extended tc
us by our most intimate friends in Mil
waukee during my wife's stay, which was
in September and part of October, 1875
Yours truly,
Rev. THos. H. JONES,
