From Rev. Fred. 8. Jewell, Professor Of

 This may certify that have been. since i844, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by highly unframed condi- ton Of the lining membranes of the cavities t,g tne mead, producing most distressing specics oi headache tor days at time, wholly incapac. ltatlng me for business, and during the parex- ysms confning ms to the bed. In some ;,,- stancos the inflammation has extended to tl,e teeth, occasioning toothache; 10 the throat, proaucing hoarseness and partial loss of voice
 and twice 1t has so affected the left eye as to confne me for Q Inonth or more to .larksn- ed room. These attacks have been accompah. jed by strong febrile symptoms by stoppags ot the head, and in the first stages. by watery discharges from the nose, subsequently bccofo. ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack beroming bloody and purulent have tried medicines of almost every kind external applications to the heal srcli as cam phor, ginger, hot bandages, and Concentrations of hot vinegar Snuffs of some half a uosen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations to. gether with internal remedies such us ait.ra. lives, cathartics, and cosmetics. These have produced no change in the occurrence or char 1 acter of the disease, and, in most cases. wta l little or no temporary relief. had come, as length. to believe the disease to be practically
 
 Under these circumStances I was led. some five months ago, to make a trial of Dr. Lighth. ills treatment. His method at once aprroyed itself to my judgment as simple, plilosopbicaI, and likely to be effective. NotwithstandiLy z the disadvantages under which 1t labored. In dealing with disease of such long s,andjnr. aggravated by nervous debility and dyspepsia. and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor, found the treatment resch- ing the disease as 1t had never been reached before, and producing such modification and alleviation of its character, as had supposed impossible. Ichronicle the reaults thus. Al though have been situated several times so 1 that should formerly have believed severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, have es- capped thus far. The symptoms of threaten, d attack have been very light and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. Lighthili, with out need of recourse to the old fermentstione. or emetics and the discharges from tbe head | have resumed the original and natural cordI
 tiou. That have been able to obtain so mn. ] terial relief, Is to me a cause of gratitude.
 In that alone am repaid for whatever the ex. pertinent may have cost me.
 ] make this statement unsolicited. as a l means of Acknowledging my obligation to Dr Lighthill's method of treating catarrh. and with view to aid any one who may have suE fered from that disease, in forming inst onif,. ion ofits merits, and its probable util,ty in their own osse. lsfgned) 1.s vs:r J"
