CURE OF CAT4RRH.

From Rev. Fred. s. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School, Albany, N. Y.
 This may certify that I have been, since lS44, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by a highly infamed condi- tion of the lining membranes of the cavities of the head, producing a most distressing species of headache for days at a time, wholly ineapac- itatng me for business, and during the parox- ysms contining me to the bed. In some in- stances the inflammation has extended to the teeth, Occasiohng toothache; 10 the throat producing EoarsenesS and partial loss of voice !: and twice 1t has so asected the left eye as to confine he for month or more to a darken- ed room. These attacks have been accompan- jed by strong febrile symptoms by stoppase of the head, and, in the first stages, by watery discharges from the nose, subsequently, becom- ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack bcroming bloody and purulcnt I have tried medicines of almost every kind {; external applications to the hca such as cam phor, ginger, hot bandages, and Concentrations of hot vinegar snutfs of some half dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to- gcther with internal remedies such ns atera tivcs, cathartics, and cosmetics These have produced no change in the occurrence or char acter of the disease, and, in most cases, with little or no temporary relief. 1 had come at length to believe the disease to be practically beyond either cure or material alleviation
 Under these circumstances l was led, some five months ago, to make trial of Dr. Li.htll- ills treatment. His method at once approved itself to my judgment as simple, philosophical, and likely to be effective Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which it laboretl, in dealing with disease of such long standing, aggravated by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor, 1 found the treatment reach- ing the disease as it had never been reached before and producing such modification and alleyiation of its character, as 1 had supposed impossible. chronicle the reaults thus AL though have been situated several times so that should formerly have believed s; were attack of my catarrh inevitable, I have es- capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. Lighthll, with out need of recourse to the old lamentations, or emetics and the discharges from the head have resumed the original and natural condi- tiou. That I have been able to obtain so ma terial a relief, Is to me a cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatever the ex. pertinent may have cost me.
 I make this statement unsolicited, as a means of Acknowledging my obligation to Dr. Lighthill's method of treating catarrh, and with view to aid any one who may have suf- fered from that disease, in forming just opin- ion of it's merits and it's probable utility in their own case. (Signed)

From Rev. JOHN MOTT, D. D., Profes-
 sor in Union College, Schenectady.

sor in Union College, Schenectady.
 Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skillful treat ment of Dr. Lighthill, in regard to my hearing letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up- on me from all parts of the country from par ties desiring to learn the particulars of my case, and l am indeed surprised at the mum Der of individuals who are affected similar to the manner in which I have been, and therefore feel it more and more sacred duty which owe to those sufferers, to direct them to Q proper and reliable source to obtain the bene- fit they so much covet, and which so many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain, just as 1 had done previous to applying to Dr.. Lighthill. ....-E .,,.
 I had had from infancy one very leaf ear which always discharged more or less offensive matter, and was the source ot the greatest an noyance and discomfort to me. Last year the other ear also became diseased, and both ears discharged yellow matter very profuse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much inquired and the discharge produced the greatest debility of body and depression of spirits. Iappled to my family physician and l other practitioners without deriving any ben eft, and almost despa;red of being restored to health, when providentially, l applied to Dr. Lighthill. Under this treatment my ears be- gan to improve at once, and continued to do so until, in comparative short time, both ears were healed, the discharge removed, and my hearing restored. At first I feared the cure would not be permanent, or that the stoppage of discharges of so ltng standing might prove detrimental to my general health, fear which 1 find great many entertain in regard to the removal of discharge from the ear. My experience, however, has proved conclusively that my apprehensions were entirely ground less in both respects, for both ears are as well. and my hearing as good at present. 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 flow of spirits not ex- perienced for long time previous.
 wish the above statement might serve as a feneral answer to those interested. but should one or the other desire to apply to me person ally, or by letter, I will cheerfully satisfy all reasonable demands upon my time.
 avail myself of this opportunity of again publicly expressing my deeply felt gratitude to Dr. Lighthill, whom I esteem as a gentle man and man of science, in whom the high. est confidence may be placed.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT
A FEW WORDS ABOUT SPECTACLES-- TESTIMONY OF THOMAS STEELE & co.
 HARTFORD, CONN.

We do not wish or intend to harm any one who may be doing an honora- ble, legitimate business, but when the public are deceived by false statements and iuduced to purchase articles at enormous prices under mistaken i'm pressions, we think that they (the pub lic) should know the facts in the case.
 We know of case of a poor young man about 20 years of age, who has always been near-sighted and conse- quently required concaye glasses, but on application to these learned occu- lists he received insteada pair of con- vex glasses in steel frames at $2,50, which were suitable for an old man of 50 years. We presume they examined his eye avith one 9f their glasses before they gave him the specs, then told him they were all right and that he mast take them, that he could not judge for him self whether he could see well or not.
 This is only one among many instan- ces we might mention. We could, if we choose, procure the names of a large number of very respectable people who would bear testimony that the state mcnts we make are true in every par ticular, and that the humbug is even greater than we assert it to be.
