FROM REY. FRED. 8. JEWELL, PROFESSOR or
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, ALBANY, n. 7.
This may certify that 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 cOnfning me 70 bed.
In some instances the inflammation has ex-
tended to the teeth, occasioning toothache,
to the throat, producing hoarseness and
partial loss of voice and twice it has so
effected the left eye as to confne me for
month or more TO a darkened room. These
attacks have been accompanied by strong
febrile symptoms; by stOPpage of the head,
and, in the first stages, by watery discharg-
es from the nose, subsequently becoming
aerid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent.
have tried medicines of almost every kind;
external applications to the head such as
champion, ginger, hot bandages, and To-
mentations of hot vinegar snuffs of some
/ half dozen kinds, and other catarrahla
preparations, together with internal RENE
dies, such as Alternatives, cathartics, and
cosmetics. These have produced no change
i in the occurrence of character of the di-
sease, and in most cases, with little or no
temporary relief, l had come, at length TO
believe the disease to be practically be-
| yond either cure or material -alleviation.
Under these circumstances was led,
some five months ago, to make trial of DR..
i Lighthill's treatment. His method at once
/ approved itself to my judgment as simple,
| philosophical, and likely to be effective
| Notwithstanding the disadvantages under
which it labored, in dealing with disease
of such long standing, aggravated by nerv-
Gus debility and dyspepsia, and constant

chronicle the results thus. Although l
have been situated several times so that
I should formerly have believed q severe
attack of my eatarrh inevitable, have 8.
capped thus far; the symptoms OF threatened
attack have been very light, and have
y yielded to the remedies applied by Doctor
Lighthill, without need Of recourse to the
old lamentations or emetics; and the dis
charges from the head have resumed the
original and the natural condition. Icount
upon a complete cure. That have been
able, however, to obtain 50 material ar elief
is to me a cause of gratitude. In that
alone am repaid for whatever the expert
ment may have cost me.
I make this statement unsolicited, as a
means of acknowledging my obligation to
DIR. Lighthill's method of treating catarrh,
and with a view to aid any one who may
have suffered from that disease, in forming
a Just opinion Of its merits, and its probable
utility in their own case.
