CURE OF CATARRH.
From Rev. Fred. S. Jewell, Professor Of State Normal School, Albany, N. Y.

From Rev. Fred. S. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School, Albany, N. Y.
 This may certify that I have been, since 1844, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by a highly inflained condi- tion of the lining membranes of the cavities of the head, producing a most distressing species of headache for days at time, wholly incapac- itating mo 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; 10 the throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice 1t has so affected the left eye as Co confne me for month or more to Q darken. ed room. These attacks have been accompan. jed by strong febrile symptoms by stoppags ot the head and, in the first stages, by watery discharges from the nose. subsequently, becom- ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack beroming bloody and purulent. I have tried medicines of almost every kind external applications to the heal such as cam phor, ginger, hot bandages, and Concentrations of hot vinegar snuffs of some half q dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to. gether with internal remedies, such as altera. lives, 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.
 Under these circumstances l was led, some five months ago, to make trial of Dr. Lighth. ills 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 nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor, found the treatment reach. ing the disease as it had never been reached before, and producing such modification and alleviation of its character, as had supposed impossible. I chronicle the reaults thus. Al. though have been situated several times so that should formerly have believed e severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, have es. capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. Lighthill, with. out need of recourse to the old lamentations, or emetics and the discharges fromssthe ht ad have resumed the original and natural condi. tiou. That have been able to obtain so ma. teral relief, Is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid fer whatever the ex. pertinent may have cost me.
 I make this statement unsolicited. as A means of acknowledging my obligation to Dr. Lighthill's method of treating catarrh, and with view to aid any one who may have suf. fered from that disease. in forming just opin. ion of its merits, and itss probable utility in their own case, (Signed) 'fE'

From Rev. JOHN MOTT, D. D., Profss.
 sor in Union College, Schenectady.

Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which 1 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, and I am indeed surprised at the number of individuals who are affected similar to the manner in which have been, and therefore feel it more and more a sacred duty which I owe to those sufferers, to direct them to c proper and reliable source to obtain the bene. fit they SO much covst, and which SO many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain, just as had done previous to applying to Dr. LightIill.
 I had bad from infancy one very deaf ear which always discharged more or less offensive matter, and was the source of the greatest an. noyance and discomfort to me. Last year the other ear also became diseased, and both ears discharged yellow matter, very profuse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much inquired and the discharge produced the greatest debility of body and depression of spirits. Iapplied to my family physician and other practitioners without deriving any ben. eft, and almost despaired of being restored to health, when proyidentially. applied to Dr. Lighthill. Under this treatment my ears bu- gan to improve at once. and ontinued tL ,lo so, until, in a comparative short time. both ears were healed. the eischaiec removed, and
 
 would not be permanent, or that the EtOppage of discharges of so ng standing might prove detrimental to my general health, fear which find a great many entertaiu in regard to the emoval of discharge from the ear. My experience, however, has proved conclusively that my apprehensions were entirely ground. less in both respects, for both ears are as well. and my hearing as good at present as the day left of treatment. and tie 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 a long time previous.
 wish the above statement might serve as a fieilsrai answer to those interested. but should one or the other desire to apply to me person. ally, or by letter, will cheerfully satisfy an reasc nable demands upon my time.
 Iayail myself of this opportunity of again publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude to Dr. i.ighthill. whom esteem as gentle. man and man ofscieuce, in whom the high est confidence my bc plstccttt
