 Since I first publicly acknowledged the great
 benefit which received from the skillfui treat letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up.
 on me from all parts of the country from par.
 ties desiring to learn the particulars of nv case, and am indeed surprised at the nurnber
 of individuals who are affected similar to tbe
 manner in which have been, and therefore
 feel it more and more Q sacred duty which I
 owe to those sufferers, to direct them to d
 proper and reliable source to obtain the bene.
 it they so much sovet, and which so. many
 afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain. just as had done previous to appl lying to pr. .Lghthill. had bad from infancy one very deaf ear
 which always discharged more or legs offensive
 matter, and was the source of the greatest an-
 noyance and discomfort to me. Last year the
 other ear also became diseased, and both ears
 discharged yellow matter very profuso and i.
 highly offensive. My hearing became very
 much inquired and the discharge produced
 the greatest debility of body and depression of
 spirits. Iapplied to my family physician and
 other practitioners without deriving any ben.
 eft, and almost despaired of being restoI ed to
 health, when providentially, I applied to Dr.. Lighthill. Under this treatment my ears be- gan to improve at once. and continued to do SO, until, in a comparative short time, both ears were healed. the eischarge removed, and my hearing restored. At first feared the cure would not be permanent or that the stoppatxc of discharges of so leng standing might prove detrimental to my general health, . fear which find great many entertain in regard to the emoyal of discharge from the ear. Nv experience. however, has proved conclusively Iess in both respects, for both ears are sa veII and my hearing as good at present, as the day I left of treatment. and the stoppages of fbe
 discharge, instead of proving detrimental n my health, has given me the highest elasticity and vigor of body, and a flow of spirits not ex- perienced for long time previous. E ', l wish the above statement might ser ve ss |, ieneral answer to those interested, but shonlef one or the other desire to apply to me porssfS ally, or by letter, will cheerfully satisfv ali reasonable demands rpon my time.
