This may certify that / have been, since
| 1874, subject 10 periodical attacks Of ca
tarrah, marked by highly inhamed con-
dition of the lining embrEnes OF the cav
tiles of the head, producing a most distress
sing species of headache for days at time,
wholly ineapacitating me for business, and
during the parOxysms con6ning me 70 bed
In some instances the inflammation has ex-
/ tended 70 the teeth, oecasiOning toothache,
10 the throat, producing hoarseness and
partial loss Of voice; and twice 1t has so
effected the left eye as to conhne me for a
month or more 10 darkened room. These
attacks have been accompanied by strong
febrile symptoms; by stoppage Of the head,
. and, in the first stages, by Watery dlscharg-
es from the nose, subsequently becoming
acrid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent.
Ihavet tried medicines of almost every kind;
external applications 10 the head such as
champion, ginger, hot bandages, and TO
mentations Of hot vinegar; snuffs Of some
half a dozen kinds, and other catarrahla
ipreparations, together with internal rene
b dies, such as alternatives, cathartics, and
: leosnetics. These have produced no change
lin the occurrence of character of the di-
= sease,. and IN most cases, with little OF no
y temporary relief, 1 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..
b Ighthill's treatment. His method at once
approved itself TO my judgment as simple,
: philosophical, and likely to be elective
: Notwithstanding the disadvantages under
i which it labored, in dealing with disease
of such long standing, aggravated by nerv-
GUS debility and dyspepsia, and constant
i " induced by the accidents OF my probes
! sional labor, l found the treatment reach
2. ing the disease as it had never been reach
modification and alleviation of its char
acter, as 1 had supposed impossible.
