Letter from r ev. DIR. John Eott. Profes sor
In Union College. Schenectady. -
Since first publicly acknowledged the great
benefit which l received from the skiiIful treat
ment of DR.. 14ighthin. In regatd to my hearing,
letters of inquiry aveincessantly poured upon
me from all parts OF the country from par.ss
desiring to learn The particulars Of my case,
and am indeed surprised at the number Of in
dividuals who are affected similar TO the man
ner in which have been, aud therefore feel IL
more and more sacred duty which l owe to
those sudersrs, 10 direct them 10 proper and
reliable source 10 obtain the benefit they so
much coyet, aud which so IN any afflicted ones
have hitherto sought in vain, Jus. as had d. one
previous to applying to DIR. Lghthiil.
i had had from infancy one very deaf ear
which always discharged more or less offensive
matter, and was the source of tha greatest an
noyance and discomfort to rus. Last year the
other ear also BECAME diseased, and both ears
discharged yellow matter very profuse and
highly offensive. My hearing became very
much impaired and the discharge produced the
greatest debility of body and depression OF
spirits. j applied to my family physician and
other practitioners with mt deriving any bene-
fit, and almost despaiTeu of being restored
10 health, when providentially. I applied
to Doctor Lighthill. Under his treatment
my ears began TO improve at once and con-
timed to do SO, until, in \ comparative
short time, both ears we're healed, the dis
charge removed, and my hearing restored.
At first feared the cure would not be per
mar ent, or that the stcppsge Of a discharge Of
my general health, a fear which l find great
many entertain in regard 70 the removal OF dis
charge from the taTs. My experiences, how
ever, has proved cUnciusIyely thai my apprp.
hensors were entirely groun.,less in both re-
speets, Tor both ears well, and my hear
ing as good a present, rs the day left OF
treatment, and the stoppage Of the discharge,
instead Of proving de!rimt entail 10 my health
has given NE the highest elias tieity and vigor
OF body, ard flow of spirits not experienced
tor a long time previous.
1 wish the above statement might ser va ~ 4
general answer 10 those interested, but should
or he ether desire 10 apply 10 me- person
ally or by letter, / will cheerfully satisfy ali
reasonable demands upon my time.
l avail myself or this opportunity OF again
pahIicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude
10 Or. Lighthiii, whom esteem az gentleman
tdence may be placed. JoaS NoTT.

This may certify that, having been afflicted
during the year 1856 with severe and almost
total deafness, and having tried the ordinary
medical and Surgical aid, under the care OF
those esteemed rs eminent practitioners. l was
induced at last to put myself under the care OF
Ir. +. Il. LiEhthiu. His treatment was brief
and the cure Is apparently permanent. Ihlva
all confidence in DR.. LIS skill and integrity In
the diseases he makes specalities.
