Dear Brethren Editors:-Win You permit iac
to make statement in your valuable paper, for
the benefit Of your readers who may be afflicted
with catarrhal difficulties? 1 have been much
troubled with catarrh of the worst type FOR some
twenty years. 1t gradually grew worse, produc-
ing cough and hoarseness destroying the sense Of
smell, and breaking down my general health to
such a degree as to compel me to resign my pas.
torate and suspend public speaking. | made dill
gent use of the usual remedies, such as snuds Of
divers kinds, nisrate of silver, tar-water, olive
tar, anu inhalatons, but without airy very SALUTE
~ effects Last summer, while j)urneying in the
country for my health, l heard of Dr. Lighthll's
X. l., visited him, and put myself unler his
treatment. began Immediately to improve,and
this improvement has gone on t. the present
time. My catarrh has gradually melted away,
my cough has disappeared, my voice has become
natural, and am one, more abe to preach the
blessed Gospel. The popularity Of DR.. Lii ght-
hills treatment is that he cleanses the inside of
the ma al passages with a healing solution, ap
piled by curiousy constructed syringe, in the
passage leading from the roof Of the mouth to
the nose. After few efforts AMI lit.ls prac-
tice, there is no pain or serious flculty in this
mode of application. Let me advise all troubled
with catarrhal difficulties t 0 apply to DIR Light
