OF the state Normal school
Albany, ~. n.

" lsy ee"Ht-
DEAR SIR-Under date OF March l. .sent
you a careful statement of my case, lie former
treatment, my failure to obtain relief in that d.
~rection, my resort TO your t-eatmen and lis ben
efciai results.
/ have been from the winter of the year ls44
subject TO violent periodical attacks Of Catsrrh,
marked by strong febrile symphonic, violent. in
fsmmation of the lining membranes Of The cavi.
ties of the head, accompanied in the first stage.
BY a watery discharge from the nose. subsequer
y becoming acrid aud yellow. and towardt.
close of the attack. purulent and bloody. These
attacks produced a most distressing species ol
headache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from one to three weeks, some
times so violent as to incapacitate me for bust
meas and at times confne me to my bed. at
times the attendant Inflammation would extend
TO the teeth producing toothache; or 10 the throat,
occasioning hoarseness and partial..loss Of voice
and twice within the last few years il has so at
fected the left eve as 10 confne me for weeks 10
a darkened room.
/ had tried medicines and applications OF vari-
Gus kinds, snufs and other catarrhal prepare
tons of some half a dozen kinds; applications to
the head OF camphor. ginger, and hot fomenta-
tons Of different kinds; and in connection with
these the usual emetics or cathsrtics employed 10
induce counter action. But none of these had
produced any permanent Improvement, and in the
few instances in which temporal relief was af-
forded IL was at the expense of so much strength
as TO leave me greatly exhausted Under these
circumstances ] was led, though with reluctance,
from the supposed incurability of the disease, to
make a trial of your treatment. / found IL soon
beyond even my hopes. reaching the disease as
il bad never been reached before, and alternating
its symptoms to an extent which | had supposed
impossible. At the time I gave you my formes
certificate, while ! did not feel assured of a com
plete cure, / had obtained a material relief which
nearly repaid me for my trial of your treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment wa.
as effective as IL was simple and philosophical. A
substantial escape from NV old attacks Of cstarrh
for the unprecedented period of nearly half a
year, a.si that in spite Of severe occurrences Of
Illness Shich would have formerly rendered such
an attack inevitable, was. TO me. proof Of an i'm:
pOrtant success IL is now six months since |
sent YOU that statement, and while il is ~unpless-
ant 10 me 70 appear thus constantly. and in this
guise. before the public, il seems &c me a matter
Of simple justice 20 yourself. snd 70 those who
may be suffering S. | was. TO add that AN not
only a. fully satisfied as 20 the utility and efics-
CIV of your method Of treating catarh as ] was
sir months ago; bu, / am now OF the belief that
il there is such thing a. . cure for chronic ca
.arrh. ia my case 4 substantial cure has been
effected. Yours. respectfully.
