From Key. JOHN MOTT. D. D., Profes-
 sor in Union College. Schenectady
 Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skillful treat ment of Dr. Lighthill, in regard to my hearing, letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up- on me from all parts of the country from par ties desiring to learn the particulars of my case, and l am indeed surprised at the number of individuals who are affected similar to the manner in which have been, and therefore feel it more and more sacred duty which owe to those sufferers, to direct them to proper and reliable source to obtain the bene- fit they so much covet, and which so many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain, just as had done previous to applying to Dr. Lighthill
 I had bad from infancy one very deaf ear which always discharged more or less offensive matter, and was the source ot the greatest an noyance and discomfort to me. Last year the otht r ear also became diseased, and both ears discharged a yellow matter very profuse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much impaired and the discharge produced the greatest debility of body and depression of spirits. Iapplied to my family physician and other practitioners without deriving any ben eft. and almost despa;rsd of being restoi ed to ! health, when providentially, applied to Dr. Lghthill. Under this treatment my ears be- gan to improve at once. and continued to do | so, until, in comparative short time botb ears were healed, the discharge removed, and my hearing restored. At first feared the cure would not be permanent, or that the stoppaee of discharges of so lcng standing might prove detrimental to my general health, fear which find great many entertain in regard to tho emoval of discharge from the ear. My experience, however, has proved conclusively that my appreh ensions were entirely ground less in both respects, for both ears are as we'll, and my hearing as good at present, as the day left of treatment. and the stoppages of the discharge, instead of proving detrimental to my health, has given me the highest elasticity and vigor of body, and flow of spirits not ex- perienced for long time previous.
 I wish the above statement might serve as feneral answer to those interested. but should one or the er.desire to apply to me person ally, or by letter, will cheerfully satisfy all reasonable demands upon my time.
 avail myself of this opportunity of again publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude to Dr. Lighthill, whom esteem as gentle man and man of science, in whom the high est confidence may be placed,

CURE OF CATARRH.

From Rev. Fred. s. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School. Albany, N. Y
 This may certify that 1 have been, since 1844, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by a highly infamcd condi- ton of the lining membranes of the cavities of the head, producing most distressing species of headache for days at q time, wholly ircapac- itating me for business, and during the parox- ysms confning me to the bed. In some in- stances the inflammation has extended to the teeth, occasioning toothache; to the throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice it has so affected the left eye as to confine me for & month or more to darken- ed room. These attacks have been accompan- jed by strong febrile symptoms by stoppage Of the head, and, in the first stages, by wate P discharges from the nose, subsequently, becom. ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack beroming bloody and purulcnt I have tried medicines of almost every kind external applications to the heal such as cam phor, ginger, hot bandages, and lamentations of hot vinegar snuffs of some half dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to- gether with internal remedies, such as altera lives, cathartics, and cosmetics. These have produced no change in the occurrence or char acter of the disease, and, in most cases, with little or no temporary relief. I had come, at length. to believe tho disease to be practically beyond either cure or material alleviation.
 Under these circumstances I was led, some five months ago, to make a trial of Dr. Lighth ills treatment. His method at once approved itself to my judgment as simple, philosophical, and likely to be effective. Notwithstandina the disadvantages under which it labored, il, dealing with disease of such long standing aggravated by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor, found the treatment reach. ing the disease as it had never been reached before, and producing such modification and alleviation of its character, as had supposed impossible. I chronicle the reaults thus AL though have been situated several times so that should formerly have believed a severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, have es- capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. Lighthili. with out need of recourse to the old fermentation. or emetics and the discharges from the he ad have resumed the original and natural condi- tiou. ThatI have been able to obtain so ma. terial relief, Is to me a cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatever the e1- pertinent may have cost me.
 I make this statement unsolicited, as a means of acknowledging my obligation to Dr. Lighthill's method oi treating catarrh, and with view to aid any one who may have suf- fered from that disease, in forming just opin- ion of its merits, and its probable utility in their own case. (Signed)
