FROM REv. FRED. s. JEWELL, PRoFEsscR OF
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, ALBANY, n. z.
This may certify that I have been, since
1874, subject to periodical attacks of ca
tarrah, marked by highly inhamed con-
dition of the lining membranes of the cav
tiles of the head, producing a most distress
| sing species Of headache for days at a time,
wholly incapacitating me for business, and
during the parOxysms eonfning me to bed.
| In some instances the inflammation has ex-
| tended to the teeth, occasiOning toothaehe,
to the throat, producing hOarseness and
| partial loss of voice; and twice it has so
effected the left eye as to eonfne me for a
month or more 10 darkened room. These
attacks have been accompanied by strong
| febrile symptoms; by stoppage of the head,
and, in the first stages, by watery dischaTg-
| es from the nose, Subsequently becoming
aerid and yellow, 7nd towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent.
I have tried medicines of almost every kind;
| external applications to the head such az
champion, ginger, hot bandages, and To-
mentatiOns Of hot vinegar snufs of some
| half a dozen kinds, and other catarrahla
preparations, together with internal rene
dies, such as alternatives, eatharties, and
cosmetics. These have produced no change

means of acknowledging my obligation to
DR.. Bighthil's method of treating catarrh,

utility in their own case.
