Windsor, w., Aug II, 1876.
DR.. s. W. SMYTH, Burlington, VT.
Dear Sir-ln answer to your inquiries
concerning my deafness, am happy to
say that have very much improved since
placing myself under your care. Last
June, when | came to you, it was almost
impossible to make me hear at all. l had
been under the care, too, of one of the
best aurists in New York City, DR.. Ag-
new, and while his treatment of my case
was similar to yours, / experienced no
relief whatever until you took hold of my
case. The thoroughness of your treat
ment think is the secret of your success
at least it seems so in my case. My
throat, which has been infamed for a
long time, and, doubtless, was the start
ing point of my deafness, caused by diph-
iberia some years ago, has quite passed
away, and l can hear fifty per cent. better
than when came to you in June.
Hoping you may find 1t to your advant-
age to return to Windsor again soon, and
with kindest regards and best wishes for
your welfare, am
Sincerely your friend,
GEO. F. DAVIS.
