EAR AND THROAT.
TESTIMONIALS,

FROM THE REV. FRED. s. JEWELL,
PROFESSOR or TIE STATE sORHAL SCHOOL, ALBANY
EEW ToRk.
This may certify that have been, since
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks Of
catarrh, marked by highly inhsmed con-
dition Of the lining membrane Of the csVi-
ties Of the head, producing most dis
tressiDg species of headache for days at 8
time, wholly incspscitsing me for bust
| noes, and during the parozy0nns OOnnning
me 70 the bed. In some instances the in
fsmmstion has extended to the teeth, oc-
oasioning toOthsche to the throat, pro-
ducing hOarseness and partial loss Of
voice; and twice it has so affected the
LEFT eye as to confne me for 8 month or
more to a darkened room. These attacks
have been accompanied by strong febrile
symptoms; by stoppsges Of the head, and
in the first stages by wstery discharges
from the nose and subsequently becoming
scrid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent
l have tried medicines Of almost every
kind; external applications to the head,
such as osmphOr, ginger, hot vinegar,
snufs Of some half dozen kinds, aud
other catsrrshsi preparations, together
with internal remedies, such as Alternatives,
csthsrtics and emetics. These have pro-
duoed no change in the occurrence or
character Of the disease, and in most cases,
with little or no temporary relief. had
come ct length, to believe the disease to be
practically beyond either cure or material
allevistion.
Under these circumstances I was led,
some five months ago, TO make q trial Of
DR.. LighthilPs treatment. His method at
once approved itself to my Judgment IS
simple, philosophical, and likely to be ef-
fective. Notwithstanding the dissdvsn-
tsges under which he lsbored, in dealing
with disease Of such long standing, sg-
graVsted by nervous debility and dyspep-
sia, and constantly induced by the scci-
dents Of my professional labor, found
the treatment reaching the disease as il
bad never been reached before, and pro-
ducing such modification and alleviation
Of it's character, as had supposed impos-
sible. / chronicle the result thus.
Although 1 have been situated several
times so thatI should formerly have be-
lieved severe attack Of my cstsrrh inev-
liable, have escaped thus far; the symp-
toms Of threatened attack have been very
light, and have yielded to the remedies
employed by DR.. LighIhil, without the
need Of recourse to the old hot fermenta-
ions or emetics; and the discharges from
the head have resumed the original and
natural condition. That have been able
to obtain so material a relief is to me a
cause Of gratitude. In that alone 1 am
repaid for whatever the treatment may
have cost me.
l make this statement unsolicited as 3
means Of acknowledging my obligations
to DR.. Lghthilrs method Of treating ca
tsrrh, and with view to aid any who may
have suffered from that disease in forming
3 just opinion of its merits, and its prob
able utility in their own case.

From the Washington Star May 25th.
Mr.. and Mrs Bowdish, residents Of The
State Of Michigan, who had two sons, Hor-

in search of Horace, who they learned had

Fsi ing to find him in hospital, they yes
tardsy evening visited the Sixth street
wharf. A few moments afterwards the
steamer Jefferson steamed up to the wharf,
and stand ng near the bow Of the boat was
the looked for son, badly wounded, his
right arm having been shot off above the
elbow. AS soon as the plank was thrown
from the boat to the wharf, Mrs. Bowdish

into q hlod Of tears, with her head ben
upon his shoulder. For q few seconds
there was an affecting silence, which the
fond mother broke by saying, Horace,
whore is your brother oOrsdin1" Horace,
pointing 10 rough wooden box by his
side, replied, " Tn re, mother, there is Co
rsdinl" The afflicted mother threw her
self upon her deceased sons coffin, sobbiDg
aloud in the agony Of grief while the
father and wounded son stood by with
bowed heads. The scene was hesrt-rsnd-
ing one, and it can better be imagined than
described. Many Of the bystanders were
compelled to turn sside, while silent tears
osuld be seen stealing down the cheeks
Of all Several kind-hearted ladies pres
ent did all in their power to comfort the
afflicted mother, but it was long before she
could be induced 10 leave the side Of her
deceased son.

JOSEPH NJ. CLARKE.

From the Rev. John NOtt, D. d., Professor
in Union College, sohenecIadR.
Since first publicly acknowledged the
great benefit which l received from the
Bkillful treatment Of DR.. Lighthill, in re-
gard to my hearing, letters ofinquiry have
necessarily poured upon me from all parts
Of the country, from parties desiring to
learn the particulars Of my case, snd am
indeed surprised at the number Of indiyid-
uals who are affected similar to the man
ner in which have been, and therefore
it more and more q sacred duty which l
owe to these sufferers, to direct them to q
proper and reliable source to obtain the
benefit they so much eovet and which SO
many afflicted ones have hitherto sought
in vain, just.ss l had done previous to sp-
plying to DR.. Lighthill. 90
| hsd from infancy one very deaf ear,
which always discharged more or less Of
fensive matter, and was the source Of the
greatest annoyance and discomfort to me.
Last year the other ear also became dis
essed, and both ears discharged q yellow
matter, very profuse and highly offensive.
Ny hearing became very much impaired
and the discharge produced the greatest
debility Of body and depression Of spirits.
l applied to my family physician and
other practitioners, without deriving any
benefit and almost despsired Of being re-
storse to health, when proVidentially, l
applied to DR.. Eghthill. Under his treat
ment my ears began to improve at once,
and continued to do so, until, in compsr-
stively short time, both ears were healed.
the discharge removed, and my hearing
restored. At first I feared the cure would
not be permanent or that the stoppsge of
a discharge Of 50 long standing might
prsVe detrimental to my general
health, q fear which 1 find q great
may entertain in regard to the removal Of
discharge from the ear. Ny experience,
however, has proved conclusively that nv
apprehensions were entirely Eroundless
in both respects, for both ears are as well
and my hearing Sc good st present. as the
day left of treatment, and the stoppsRe
Of discharge. instead Of proving detrimen-
tai to my health has given the greatest
elasticity and vigor to my body, and

The point We made on the nomination
Of Fremont and COchrsne, was well taken.
Fremont is sometimes called Californian
but he resides on Fifth Aveeue, New York,
and votes in that city. When Fremont
was nominated at Philadelphia, he was
placed on the ticket as John @. Fremont,
Of New York. The blunder Of nOminst
ing two men from one State for President
and Vice President was ridiculous.

A letter has been received by Secretary
Seward from the Captain General of Cuba,
Announcing the arrival Of the captured
slave trader ArgueIles at HsVans.
The Captain General, in the letter, re-
turns thanks to Secretary Seward for tie
service he has rendered to humanity by
furnishing a medium through which a
great number Of men may obtain their
emancipation, whom the escape Of Ar
guelles would have reduced 10 slavery.
The Captain General adds that the simple
presence Of Arguelles, on his return to
the Island, alre dy and in few minutes
gives liberty TO eighty-si1 human be-
ings.
We do not desire in this connection to
enter into discussion Of the legal aspects
Of the rendition Of Arguelles. What we
do wish to call attention to is the fact
that his q arbitrary arrest" for the high.

crime against fredmom and the holy

mr., CRAIG and the Bogus Prseiama' len.
As q matter Of iusiiee to Mr., Craig, the
Agent Of the Associated Press, It gives Us
pleasure 70 maize an explanation Of the
reasons why the bogus Proclamation was
telegraphed over the country from the
Office Of the Associated Press several times
after he sent word that the Proclamation
vas forgery. It seemed that whom he
left the office. at 8 o'clock in the morning,
ae did not dream that the Proclamation
would appear, after he had so emphsticslly
denied its suthori J, consequently Re did
not leave instructions for the day reporter
not to sendit.
At o'clock in the morning, the day re
porter entered, as usual, upon his duty
to collste news from the morning pspers,
aud not having heard Of the bogus charac-
aoter Of the Proclamation, he naturally
sent it over the wires, announcing it IS a
dispatch sent to the WOrldneWspsper only
When Mr.. Crsie returned to the Office, and
found what the day reporter had done, he
Immediately sent dispatch to the press
stigmsti1ing the Proclamation as hoax.
The blunder committed BY this reporter
vas one Of those which viii occur in the
best Of families in 'pite of the utmost cart
to guard against it. s, H7-
