I was induced to place my- self under treatment from the many testimonials which you brought with you from Baltimore, Charleston and other places, and I am constrained, in justice to you, to say that they are by no means too flattering. You have done all for me you promised to do since the first exami- nation. You have entirely relieved me of almost total deafness, and I can hear as distinctly with the one you have operated upon as I ever could with the healthy ear. I take great pleasure, therefore, in recommending you to all those who are similarly afflicted. Those who do not embrace the opportunity of consulting you, will be doing themselves great injustice. You can make use of this letter in any manner which may be of benefit to you. Very respectfully, yours, Robert Erwin. From Professor Jackson, Philadelphia. I doubt not, after your well deserved reputation has once been established, you will meet with all the encour- agement our people are ready to give to a man of science. I truly trust you will succeed in rescuing the treatment of the Eye and Ear from the hands of the empiric and pretenders who have destroyed public confidence in the ability of restoring hearing. I thank you, for my own part, for the good service you have done to our profession hy your valuable productions.
