The best proof of the efficacy of the treat ment will be a rcfcrcnce to nearly NINE HUNDRED NAMES, Residents of the United States, Canada, New | Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, who have been re stored to Acute Hearing, and not a single, solitary case to our knowledge, did we fail to effect either a partial or total restoration of the Hearing, when our advice and instructions were faithfully and punctually adhered to. Many who could not hear the report of a pistol at arm's length can now hear a watch beat at the distance of four feet. In cases of mucus accumulation in the Eustach ian Tube and Tympanum, Intlamation of the Mucus Membrane, Nervous Affeetion, Diseases of tUfe Membrana Tympani, commonly called the " Drum,"or when the disease can be traced to the effects of Fevor, Colds, the use of Quinine, Mrcuial Med icincs, gathering in the Ears in childhood, &c., Dr. Alsopliert's treatment ands preeminent. Whore the Auditory Canal is dry and scaly, with little or no secret ion. Where deafness is accompanied with noises in the Ear. like falling water, ringing of bells, chirping ol ? insects, rustling of leaves, continual pulsa tions, discharge of matter, or wlicnin scoo ping, a sensation is felt, as if a rush of blood to the head took place, when the hearing is less acute in dull, cloudy weather, or when a cold has been taken, tnis method of treating the dis ease is infallible. IN DEAF AND DUMB CASES my experience warrants me in saying that if the hearing was at any time good, very much can be accomplished. In the Deaf and Dumb School at Leipsic, out of a class of Fourteen, I succeed ed in restoring Four to acute hearing. Dr. A. begs repectfully to state, tliatm those cases he undertakes, he guarantees a successful result, complete restoration, or such a marked improve ment as will be perfectly satisfactory, if his re medies are faithfully applied and directions ad hered to. Applicants will please state their age, duration of discas<wif matter issues from the external passage, ir there arc noises in the Ears, state of ircneraf health, and what they suppose to have been the cause of the deafness.
