 This may certify that I have been, si, 70 1844, subject to violent periodical attacks ..f 'catarrh, marked by q highly inflamed conli. tion of the lining membranes of the cavities If the head, producing a most distressing eltci,s of headache for days at time, wholly inca,Sa, itating me for business, and during the parux. ysms conining me to the bed. In some in. stances the inflammation has extended to ,iie teeth, ,occasionihg toothache; to the threat :. producing hoarseness and partial loss of yoic. and twice 1t has 80 affected the left eye as ts, confine me for month or more to Q darksn. ed room. These attacks have been accom,an- jed by strong feFbrile symptoms by stoppagc of the head, and, in the first stages, by watsiy discharges from the nose, subseq uently becom. ing acrid and yellow, and Towards the close of the attack beroming bloody and purulent. l 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 dofcn kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to. gether with internal remedies, such as altera
 tives, cathartics, and cosmetics. These have produced no change in the occurrence or char actcr of the disease, and, In most cases, with little or no temporary relief. I had come, ct length. to believe the disease to be practically beyond either cure or material alleviation.
 \ Under these circumstances was led, some five months ago, to make trial of Dr. Lghth ills treatment. 7 His method at once approved itself to my judgment as simple, philosophical, and likely to be effective. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which 1t labored. in dealing with Q disease of such long standing, aggravated by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents ofmy professional labor, found the treatment reach- ing the disease as 1t had never been reached before, and producing such 8 modification and alleviatiOn of itscharacter, as had supposed impossible. sI chronicle the reaults thus. AL though have been situated several timea SO that should formerly have believed severe attack of mygc gcatarrh inevitable, II have es- capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by pr. Lighthili, with out need ofrecourse to the old fermentations. or enetics ;a and the discharges from the he ad have resumed the original and natural condi- tiou. That have been able to obtain so ma. terial relief, Is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone I am repaid for whatefer the sa. pertinent may have cost me.
 make this statement unsolicited, as means sckEowiedgs nay obligation to pr.

 F Since l first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skiIlful tfens
 ment ofDr. Lghthill. In regard to my hestinK, letters of Inquiry have necessarily poured m. on me from all parts of the country from bar. ties desiring to learn the particulars of ny case, and am indeed surprised at the number of individuals who are affected similar te the manner in which have been, and therefore feelit more and more sacred duty which | owe to those sufferers, ~to direct them to q proper aud reliable source to obtain the benss fit they so much feOvSt, and which 90 many afflicted ones have hitherto sought In vain. just as IhAd done previous to applying to Df. Lighthill. z ' z 5g@s Ei FE ,
 : I had bad from infancy one very deaf eff
 which always discharged more or less offensive
 matter, and was the'souroe of the greatest an.
 noyance and discomfort to me. Last year tks
 oth,r ear also became diseased, and both ears
 discharged yellow matter very profuse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much impaired and the dischaf9e produced
 the greatest debility of body and depression of spirits. Iapplied to my family physician and
 other practitioners without dedviog any benz eft, and almost despaired of being restoic cd to
 health, when providentially, I applied, ,to, ,Dr, Lighthiil.s .s Under this treatment my ears bc- gan to improve at once. and contihued to stIe, lso, until, ina comparative short time. .boii, fears were healed. the eiscbarge rernoyed, and Imy hearing restored. At first feared the euro
 would not be permanent or that tic st0pbaRe Iof discharges of so leng standing might prove !detrimental to my general health, a foar (which I find agrent many entertain in reRafi Ito the emoyal of discharge from the ear. Nv jexperiencs, however, has proved conclusiyely v Ithat my ,apprehensions were entirely ground.
 less in both respects, for both ears arc as well and my nearing as good at present, as the dag | I left of treatment. and the sfoppagss of the
 discharge, instead of proving detrimental fe my health, has given me .he highest slss sticlsv
 and vigor of body, aud flow of spirits a e4 ex lperienced for long time pfeyiors.
 l wish the above stntenent night ssrve ss fieneral snswer to those interested, but sie,.
 one or the other desire to apply to me person
 ally. or by letter, I will cheerfully satisfv al
 reaschable demands upon my time.
 ! avail myself of this aoppartunity of again tpublicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude
 to pr. Mghthiil. whom esteem as . gentle.
 man and . man ofsolence, In whom the higAI est confidence nfay be placsds -L ain
