DEAFNESS, CATARRH,
and all the various diseases of the
EAR, THROAT, AND AIR PASSAGES.
From the Rev. Fred. 8. Jewell, Professor
OF State Normal School, Albany, n. Y.
This may certify that have been, since 1914,
subject TO violent periodical attacks Of catarrh,
marked by highly inflamed condition Of the
lining membranes of the cavities OF the head,
producing most distressing species of head
ache for days at q time, wholly incapacitating
me from business, and during the paroxysms
combining me to the bed. In some instances the
Inflammation has extended to the teeth, occa.
sioning toothache to the threat, producing
hoarseness and partial loss Of voice aud and
twice it has so affected the left eye as to con-
fine me for month or more to q darkened room
These attacks have been accompanied by trong
fe55iie BY stoppage OF the head
from the nose, subseq uently becoming acrid
and yellow, aud towards the close Of the attack
becoming bloody and purulent. I have tried
4 6ations to the head. such as camphor, gin
eer, hot bandages, and lamentations of hot
vinegar; snuffB OF some half dozen kinds, aud
other catarrhal preparations, together with in

and emetics. These have produced NO change
in the occurrence or character OF the disease,
and, in most cases, with little or no temporary
relief. had come, at length. to believe the
disease to be practically beyond either cure or
material alienation.
Under these circumstances I was led some
fi 'I months ago to make q trial OF Dr. Light;
itself to my Judgment, as simple, philosophy
cal, and likely to be effective. Notwithstand-
ing the disadvantages under which he labored,
in dealing with disease of such long stand.
ing, aggravated by nervous debility and dys-
pepsis, and constantly induced by the acct
dents OF my professional labor, found the
treatment reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and producing such q
me notification and alienation of its character,
as had supposed Impossible. / chronicle the
results thus. Although 1 have been situated
several times, so that should formerly have
believed a severe attack of my catarrh inevita-

threatened attack have been very light, and

Lishthill, without need of recourse to the old
hot lamentations, or emetics; and the dischar-
ges from the head have resumed the original
and natural condition. l count upon a COM
pIete cure. That have been able, however,
to obtain SO material a relief is to me a cause
OF gratitude. In that alone, am repaid for
whatever the treatment may have cost me.
/ make this statement unsolicited as means
of acknowledging my obligations to DIR. Light
hills method Of treating catarrh, and with
view to aid any who may have suffered from
that disease in forming a just opinion OF its
merits, and its probable utility in their own
case. FREDK. s. JEWELL,
