DEAR SIR-Under date of March sent
you a careinl statement OF my case. It's former
treatment, my failure to obtain relief in that di
rection, my resort TO yonr treatment and It's ben
etcial results.
have been from the winter of the wear le44
subject to violent periodical attacks of Catarrh.
marked by strong febrile symptoms, violent in
fammation of the lining membranes of the cavi
ties of the head, accompanied in the first stage.
by a watery discharge from the nose, subsequer'
ly becoming acrid and yellow. and towardt.
close of the attack. purulent and bloody. These
attacks produced a most distressing species of
headache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from one TO three weeks, some
times so violent as 20 incapacitate me for bust
ness and at times confine me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would extend
to the teeth producing toothache; or TO the throat,
Occasioning hoarseDess and partial. loss OF voice:
and twice within the last few years il has so af-
fected the left eye as to conhne me for weeks TO
a darkened room.
| had tried medicines and applications of vari-
Gus kinds, snuffs and other catarrhal prepare
tions of some half a dozen kinds; applications 70
the head of camphor. ginger, and hot fomenta
tons of different kinds; and ia connection with
these the usual emetirs or cathartics employed to
induce counter action. But none OF these had
produced any permanent improvement. and in the
few instances in which temporal relief was at
forded il was at the expense of so much strength
as to leave me greatly exhausted. Under these
circumstances l 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 had never been reached before. and alternating
its symptoms To an extent which ] had supposed
impossible. AT the time | gave YOU nv former
certificate, while | did not feel assured of a com
plete cure. ] had obtained a material relief which
nearly repaid me for nv trial of your treatment.
and which satisfied me that that treatment was
as effective as il was simple and philosophical. A
substantial escape from nv old attacks Of cztarrh
for the unprecedented period Of nearly half a
year, and that in spite of severe occurrences OF
illness which would have formerly rendered such
an attack inevitable, was. 10 me-. proof OF an I'M
portant success liz is now six months since i
sent you that statement. and. while Is Is unpieas-
ant 20 IN TO appear thus constantly. and IN this
guise, before the public, il seems to me a matter
Of simple justice to yourself, and to those who
nav be suffering as ] was. to add that | AN not
ouly a. fully satisfied as to the utility and efica
CIV of vour method Of treating catarrh as was
six months ago; but | am now OF the belief that
if there il such a thing a. a cure for chroT ic ca
tarrh. in nv case a substantial cure has been
effected. Yours. respectfully.
