From Rev. JOHN MOTIF, D. D., Protes.
 sor in Union College. Schenectady

Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skillful treat ment of Dr. Lighthill, in regard to my hearing. letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up. on me from all parts of the country from par ties desiring to learn the particulars of my case. ani am indeed surprised at the number of individuals who are affected similar to the manner in which have been, and therefore feel it mure and more sacred duty which owe to those sufferers, to direct them to proper and reliable source to obtain the bene. fit they so much covet, and which so many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain, just as had done previous to applying to. Dr. Lghthill.
 had bad from infancy one very deaf ear which always discharged more or less offensive matter, and was the source oi the greatest an- noyapce and discomfort to me. Last year the other ear also became diseased. and both cars 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. Iaprlied to my family physician and other practitioners without deriving aa, bet- eft, and almost Gcspa;red Of l'rir. r,i. ,.ri 10 health. when pros3entialy, l applied |" Dr. Liyhthill.E Unl-i this stlcatincnt H., tats b"- gan to improve at ",ct, aud contiHhcd tu dh so, until, in a c,'iii t1a'atile eh"fr 'tne, hoth ears were healrd tie riScliarce removed, and
 
 would not be permanrnt C: that the stoppage of discharges of so ns standing might prove detrimental to my general health, fear : which find great many entertain in regard to the .emoval of discharge from the ear. My experience however, has proved conclusively
 that my appreh ensions were S,, entirely ground and nv hearing as good at present, as the day I left of treatment, and the stoppages of the discharge, instead of proving detrimental to my health, has given me the highest elasticity and vigor of body, and a flow of spirits not ex- perienced for long time previous | I wish the above statement might serve as Q ieneral answer to those interested. but should one or the other desire to apply to me person. ally. or by letter, will cheerfully satisfy all reasonable demands upon my time.
 avail myself of this opportunity of again publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude to Dr. Hghthill, whom I esteem as gentie- man and man of science, in whom the high. est confidence may be placed. =. s..,.,

CURE OF CAT4RRH.
From Rev. Fred s. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School, Albany, N. '.

From Rev. Fred s. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School Albany, N. r.
 This may certify that have been, since 1844, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by highly infamed condi- tion of the lining membranes of the cavities of the head, producing most distressing species of headache for days at a time, wholly incapac- itating me for business, and during the parox- ysms confning me to the bed. In some in- stances the inflammation has extended to the teeth occasioning toothache to the throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice it has so affected the left eye as to confne me for month or more to harken- ed room. These attacks have been accompan- jed by strong febrile symptoms Uy stoppago ot the head, and, in the first stages, by watery discharges from the nose, subseq ',ently hecom- ing acrd and yellow, and towards the clcse of the attack beroming bloody and rurultnt. have tried medicines of almost every kind external applications to the heal s'ich as cam- phor, ginger, hot bandages, and lamentations of hot vinegar snutfs of some half dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to. gether with internal remedies, such as altera. tives, cathartics, and cosmetics. These have produced no change in the occurrence or char ! acter of the disease, and, in most cases, with little or no temporary relief. I had come, at length. to believe the disease to be practically | beyond either cure or material alleviation. | UnQGr these circumstances was lett, some fTs mSashs lis nsfno1 Sf1 at once prroyed itself to my judgment as simple, philosophical, and likely to be effective. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which it laborel, in dealing with disease of such long standing, | aggravated by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents ofmy professional labor, I found the treatment reach- ing the disease .as it had yer been reached before, and producing such a modification and alleviation of its character, as had supposed impossible. Ichrohicle the reaults thus AL though have been situated several times so that should formerly have believed severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, I have es- | capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. Lightllili, with. out need of recourse to the old lamentations, or emetics and the discharges from the head have resumed the original and natural condi- tiou. That have been able to obtain so ma terial relief, Is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone I am repaid for whatever the ex- l pertinent may have cost me. | make this statement unsolicited, as c
 means of acknowledging my obligation to Dr. Lighthill's method ot treating catarrh, and
 with view to aid any one who may have suf- fered from that disease, in forming just opin- l ion of its merits, and its probable utility in | their own case. (SignedD
