FROM REV. FRED. 3. JEWELL, PROFESSOR OF
.t STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, ALBANY, n. Y.
This may certify that have been, since
1914, subject to periodical attacks Of ca
tsrrah, marked by highly infamed con-
dition of the lining membranes of the cav
tiles of the head, producing a most distres-
sing species of headache for days at a time,
wholly ineapacitating me for business, and
during the paroxysms cOnfning me to bed.
In some instances the inflammation has ex-
tended to the teeth, oceasioning toothaehe,
to the throat, producing hoarseness and
effected the left eye as TO confne me for a
month or more to a darkened room. These
attacks have been accompanied by strong
febrile symptoms by stoppage of the head,
and, in the first stages, by watery discharg-
es from the nose, subsequently becoming
acrid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purUlent.
l have tried medicines of almost every kind;
external applications to the head such as
champion, ginger, hot bandages, and 70
mentations of hot vinegar; snufs Of some
half a dozen kinds, and other catarrahla
preparations, together with internal rene
dies, such as Alternatives, cathartics, and
cosmetics. These have produced no change
in the occurrence of character of the di-
sease, and in most cases, with little or no
temporary relief, l had come, at length 10
believe the disease to be practically be-
yOnd either cure or material slleviaton.
Under these circumstances l was led,
some tive months ago, to make trial Of DR..
LighthilPs treatment. His method at once
approved itself to my Judgment as simple,
philosophical, and likely to be effective
Notwithstanding the disadvantages under
which il labOred, in dealing with disease
of such long standing, aggravated by nerv-
GUS debility and dyspepsia, and constant
ly induced by the accidents of my profess
sionai labor, found the treatment reach
ing the disease as it had never been reach
ed before, and pro lucing such
modification and alleviation Of its char
acter, as l had supposed impossible. l
chronicle the results thus. Although l
have been situated several times so that
/ should formerly have believed a severe
attack of lny catarrh inevitable, have IS.
capped thus far; the symptoms 0 threatened
attack have been very light, and have
yielded 10 the renOdios applied by Doctor
Lighthill, without need Of recourse to the
old lamentations or emetics; and the dis
charges from the head have resumed the
original anS the natural condition. count
upon a complete cure. That / have been
able, however, to obtain so material relief
is to me cause Of gratitude. In that
alone am repaid for whatever the expert
ment may have cost me.
/ make this statement unsolicited, as 8
means of acknowledging ny obligation TO
DR.. Lighthill's method of treating catarrh,
and with view to aid any one who may
have suffered from that disease, in forming
just opinion OF its merits, and its probable
utility in their own case. .. ..
