CATARRH CURED.
rnon REv. FnEp. 8. JEwEIL.

Professor of the State Normal School, Albany,
New York.
This may certify that have been, since 1874,
subiect to violent periodical attacks OF eatarrh,
marked by a highly Inhamed con itlOn OF the
lining membrane of the cavities off the head pro-
dncing most distressing species OF headache,
for days at a time, wholly mcapaeltating me from
my business, and, during the paroXysns, con-
timing me to my bed. In some instances the in
f,2mation has extended 10 the teeth, OccasiOning
toothache; to the throat, producing hafshness
and partial loss Of voice, and twice u has so az
fectsd the left eye as 70 conhne me for month
or more to a darkened room. These attacks
have been accompanied by febnle symptoms;
BY stoppages OF the head, and IN the hrst stages
By Wafery discharges from the nose, and sub.
seuuently becoming scud and yellow and
toward the close Of the attack, becoming
bloody and purulent have tired medl-
cines of almost every kind external ap-
phor, ginger, hot vinegar, snutts Of some half
dozen kinds, and other catarTh preparations, to-
gether with other internal remedies, such As al
teruatives cathartcs, and emeues. These
have produced no changes in the occurrence or
character OF the disease, and IN most cases with
little or no temporary relief. had come, az
length, to the believe the disease 10 be pTacti-
caliY beyond either cure,OF material alienation.
Under these circumstances, l Was led some
five months ago, to make a trial Of DR.. Llghthil's
treatment. His method at one approved itself
to my Judgment as simple, phllosopmeSl, ana
likely to be effective NotWlthsandlng the dis
Advantages under which he labOred ID dealing
with disease of such long standing, aggravated
by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and eonse-
oueptly induced by the accidents Of my profess
siOnaI labor, found the treatment reaching the
disease as it had never been reached before, and
Dreduced such modification and alienation Of
its characser as l had supposed impossible. /
chronicle the result thus;
Although have been situated several times
20 that should formerly have believed a severe
attack Of my eatarrh inevitable, / have escaped
thus fsr the symptoms Of threatened attack
have very light and have yielded to the rene
d,as employed by DR.. Lighthill, without need Of
recourss to the hot lamentations or emetcs,
and the discharges nom the head have resumed
their original and natural condition. That /
have been able to maintain so material a relief
is 10 me a cause OF gratitude. In that alone I
am repsid for whatever the treatment may have
cost me.

view to aid any who may have suffered from
that disease in forming just opinion OF its mer-
