80 Catarrh Cured.
From Rsr. f. z. Russell Lynn, Mass.
1 have been much troubled with Catarrh of
the worst type for some twenty years. It
gradually grew worse, producing cough and
hOarseness, destroying the sense of smell, and
breaking down my general health to such q
degree as to compel me to resign my pastorate,
and suspend public speaking.
l made diligent use of the useful remedies.
such as snuffs OF different kin DIS, nitrate Of
silver, tar water, olive tar, and Limitations,
but without any salutary effects. Last sum
mer heard OF DR.. Lighthilrs successful mode
of treating catarrh, visited him, and put my
self under his treatment. 1 began Immediate
ly to improve, and this improvement has gone
on to the present time. MY catarrh has gradu.
ally melted away, my cough has disappeared,
my voice has become natural, and am once
more able to preach the blessed Gospel. Let
me advise all troubled with catarrhal difficult
ties to apply to DIR. Lighthill.
