CATARRH:
Catarrh in its fret stages is an innlmqtion of
the lining Of the nose 1t produces n feeling of
uneasincss, heat, and stiffness in the nostrils,
which are closed on one or both sides, caused by
the thickening Of the membrane from iufama-
ton; soon thin, watery substance commenc ?,
encoristing that part of the skin with which it
comes in contact. If the disease is not checked
then, the discharges soon become thick and puru-
lent, of a greenish yellow; sometimes tnged
with blood, with an odor more less disagr
able, and sometimes very off .nsivc. The breath
of the patient becomes 50 reyoltinsly offensive
to isolate him from society, and render him an
object of disgust to himself. The discharge FIRE.

Letter from Rev. p r. Russell. of Lynn, Mass,

Dear Brethren Editors:-Wil you permit me
to make statement in your valuable paper, for
the benefit Of your readers who may be affl cted
with catarrhal difficulties? I have been much
troubled with catarrh Of the worst type for some
TWEEN y years. 1t gradually grew worse, produc
ing cough and hoarseness, destroying the of
smell, and breaking down my general health to
such degree as to compel me to resign my pas
torate and suspend public speaking. | made dill
gent use of the usual remedies, such as snufs of
divers kinds, nitrate of silver, tar-water, olive
tar, and inhalations, but without any very salut
~ effects. Last summer, while jpurneying in the
country for my health heard of Or, Lghthilis
successful mode of treating catarh, in Providence
r. l.. / visited him. and put myself unler his
treatment. | began Immediately to improve and
this improvement has gone on to the present
time. My catarrh has gradually melted away,
my cough has disappeared, my voice has become
natural, and am once able to preach the
blessed Gospel. The popularity of DR.. ght-
hills treatment is that he ccanses the inside of
the nasal passages with a healing ISOLATION, ap
piled by u curiously constructed syringe, in the
passage leading from the roof of the mouth to
the nose. After a few efforts and little prac-
tice, there is pain or serious difficulty in this
mode of application. Let me advise all troubled
with catarrhal difficulties apply to DR. Light.
