IIGHTHILL’S BOOK ON DEAFNESS. 
A New Edition Now Ready 
OF 
THE POPULAR TREATISE 
ON 
DEAFNESS; 
Its Causes and Prevention. 
BY 
DR. E. II. LIGHTHILL. 
One Small 12mo,, with Illustrations. Price SI. 
The very remarkable sale of this little volume 
i9 a sufficient guaranty of its popularity and value. Three 
editions have been sold within as many months, and a fourth 
is just ready. 
The author’s aim has been to produce a book 
FOR THE PEOPLE, 
not for the medical profession, but for afflicted individuals 
and families, who, wishing information upon the subject, 
have heretofore been at a loss for any work treating in un¬ 
professional language upon Deafness and its attending 
evils. Tliis book fills such a vacuum. It is clear and com¬ 
prehensive. 
The New-York Observer says; “There is a large amount 
of useful information here embodied for the million, to 
teach them how to guard against deafness, and how to treat 
it when coming on.” 
Tlie Boston Commercial Bulletin says: “ An excellent and 
comprehensive little treatise, written in a clear and com¬ 
mon-sense style, easily understood.” 
“ The suggestions in relation to the every-day treatment 
of the ear are of the most valuable kind, and should be 
■within the reach of every family.” [Buffalo,Courier. 
The work should find its way into the hands of every in 
dividual suffering with deafness, or any accompanying 
affliction. Its value will he at once appreciated.
