Editorial Endorsement.
The following is from the editor
of the Gold Hill News, and goes far
to substantiate the remarkable
cures of deafness performed by Dr.
Darrin now at Hotel Gail, Dallas.
Mr, Carey's cure has created great
excitement among the deaf afflict
ed in Ashland." Mr. Carey's, cure
was witnessed by Mayor Neil, of
Ashland.
He Can Hear a Whisper.
Gold Hill News.
' One of our friends and subscrib
ers, Mr. C. Carey, of Sam's Valley,
has been losing his hearing for
about a year. He visited the
"News" office a lew months ago,
and tbe subject of treatment for
his malady came up, when we rec
ommended Mr. Carey to wait for Dr.
Damn's visit to Southern Oregon.
Mr. Carey visited the doctor at
Ashland, and was so much bene
fitted that before leaving the doc
tor's be could hear a whisper.
Such cures sre wonderful, yet this
one is undoubtedly true. Mr. Car
ey said he had treatment from' a
number of physicians and spent all
he had in paying doctor bills, and
