DEAR SIR-Under date of March l. .ssnt
you a careinl statement OF my case, its former
treatment, my failure to obtain relief in that di-
rection, my resort TO your treatment and It's ben
efcial results.
l have been from the winter OF the wear lS44
subject TO violent periodical attacks of Catarrh,
marked by strong sebrile symptoms, violent in
of the lining membranes of the cavi
ties OF the head, accompanied in the FIRST stagef
BY a watery discharge from the nose. subsequer'
ly becoming acrid and yellow. and towardt.
close OF the attack. purulent and bloody. These
attacks produced a most distressing species of
headache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from one to three weeks, some
times so violent as TO incapacitate me for bust
ness and at times confne me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would extend
to the teeth producing toothsche; or to the throat,
occssioning hoarseness and partisl.los s of voice:
and twice within the last few years it has so sf-
fected the left eye as 20 confne me for weeks 10

had tried medicines and applications of vari-
Gus kinds, snuffs and other catarrhal prepare
lions of some half a dozen kinds; applications TO
the head OF camphor, ginger, and hot fomenta-
tons OF different kinds; aud in connection with
these the usual emeurs or cathartics employed to
induce counter action. But none of these had
produced any permanent improvement, and in the
tew instances in which temporal relief was af-
forded il was at the expense of so much strength
as TO leave me greatly exhausted. Under these
circumstances | was led. though with reluctance,
from the supposed incErability of the disease, 20
make n trial Of your treatment. l found il soon
beyond even my hopes. reaching the disease as
il had never been reached before, aud alternating
its 8 symptoms 20 an extent which | bad supposed

certificate, while | did not feel assured Of a com
plete cure, l had obtained q material relief which
nearly repaid me for NV trial Of your treatment.
and which satisfied me that that treatment was
as effective a. il was simple and philosophical. A
substantial escape from nv old attacks of catssrh
for the unprecedented period Of nearly half a
year. and that in spite Of severe occurrences Of
illness which would have formerly rendered such
an attack inevitable, Vas. 10 me-, proof OF an inn
portant success Ii is now six months since |
sent YOU that statement, and. while il il ~unpleas-
ant 70 ne to appear thus constantly. and in this
gulse, before the public, it seems to me n matter
Of simple justice 10 yourself. and to those who
may be suffering as ! was. 10 add that | am not
