In some in- stances the inflammation has extended to the teeth, occasioning tootbache; to the throat' producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice it las so affected the left eye as to confne me for month or more to darken. cd room, These attacks have been accompan- jed by strong febrilc symptoms by stoppage of the head, aud, in the first stages, by watery discharges from the nose, subsequently, hecom. ing acrid and yellow, .4na tqwaIds the close of tho attack beronng bloody erA gurulent. l have tried mcdicincs of almost every, kina'y external applications to the hea'' such aS Sarl- phor, ginger, hot bandages, and Concentrations of hot vinegar snuffs of sonre half a dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to. eether with internal remedies, such as aiterA- lives cathartics, and cosmctica.

 Under these circumstances .aalas2zAsx asp five months ago, to make trial Of Dr. EBfsA ills treatment. His method at once approved itself to my judgment as simple, philosophical. and likely to be effective. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which 1t lab0rel.si ih dealing with disease of such long stanAi9g. aggravated by nervous debility and dyspcpsjS, and constantly induced by the accidents ofHiy professional labor, found the treatment reachr ing the disease as it had never been reached before, and producing such Q modification and alleviation of it's character, as had supposed impossible. chronicle the reaults thus Al. though have been situated several fiGiss 70 that should formerly have believed hsstsss attack of my catarrh inevitable, have ss. capped thus far. The symPtoYs .ol,thEeetened attac have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. >Lighthili, with out need of recourse to tbe old Appropriations, or emetics and the dischatges from the head tiou. That have been able to obtain so ma. terial relief, Is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatever the ex. pertinent may have cost me.

 Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which I received from the skillful treat. ment of pE. .Lighthill, in regard to my bearing. letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up- on me from all parts of the country from par, ties desiring to learn the particulars of f:my lor fnda arso A kl..A R.- of individuals who are affected similar to the manner in which have been, and therefore feel it more and more Q sacred duty which owe to those sufferers, to direct them to a proper and reliable source to obtain. the bene- fit they SO much epyst,,. and which. SO many' afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain. just as had done previous toapplying. to Dr.,
 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 discomfolt to me. Last wear tha. other ear also became. diseased. and both ears a yellow matter very, rpr0fuse. and, highly offensive: My hearing became vert, much impaired and the discharge produced the greatest debility of body and Repression of spirits. Iapplied to my family physician and other practitioners without deriving any ben. eft, and almost despa;red of being restoied to health, when providentially, l applied to DA Lghthill. Under this treatmspt .M4. .Esks Es., gan to improve at once. and. ,SdatAaed to do, so, until, in comparative short time, both ears were healeds the discharge removed, and my hearing restored. At first feared the cure would Aot be permanent, or that the stoppaeS of dischatges of so leng standing might pro$e detrimental to my general health, s fear which find great many entertain in regard to the ,emoval of discharge from the ear. My experience, however, has proved conclusively that my appreh tensions were entirely ground. less in both respects. for both ears are as well. and my hearing as good at ptesent, as the day left of treatment. and the stoppages of the discharge, instead of proving .detrimental to my health, has given me the highest elasticity and vigor of body, and Ay1cf spirits Tqt ex-,r perienced for long time previous. :
 wish the above stateme1ts might serve ae
 ieneral answer to those interested. ont s1optol ! one or the other desire to apply f9 ne petson: ally, or by letter, will cheerinAiy' satstx eiA reasonable demands upon .peY time.
 I avail myself of this opportunity of aga.r publicly expressing my, deeply felt, gratitudA to Dr. Lghtlill. wbom<t esteem as gent,e. man and man ofseienee. in whom the bige est confidence may Dc placed. -, -
