CURE OF CATARRH.

From Rev. Fred. s. Jewell, Prefesscr 0s
 state Normal School, Albany N. '.
 This may certify that I have been. sinee lo44, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by a highly inflamed condi. ton of the lining membranes of the cavities of the htad producing most distressing species ot headache for days at time, wholly incapac. itating me for business, and during the parox. ysms conining me to the bed. In some in- stances the inflammation has extended to tbs teeth, occasiohing toothache; 10 the throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice 1t has so affected the left eye as to contne he for a month or more to q darken: ed room. These attacks have been acco,nna,i. jed by strong febrile mptoms Ly stoppagS ot the head, and, in the first stages by watery discharges from the nose subsequently becom
 ing acrid and yellow, and to wards thc close of the attack beroming bloody and purulent. have tried medicines of almost every kind external applications tO theshea such as cam: phor, ginger hot bhndnges and Cancellations of hot vinegar snutfs of some half dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to. gether wi.h internal remedies. such as altera- lives, cathart!cs, and cosmetics These have produced no change In tue occurrence or char acter ot the disease, and, in most cases, with | little CT no temporary relief. l had come, at length, to believe the disease to be practically beyond either cure or material alleviaton.
 Under these circumstances wus led, some | five months ago, to make a trial of Dr. Lighth, l ills treatment. His method at once aptroved itself to my Judgment as simple, philosophical; and likely to be effective. NotwithstandinR the disadvantages under which it labored, in 1 dealing with disease of such long standing
 aggravated By nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor, l found the treatment reach- ing the disease as it had never been reached before, and producing such modification and | alleviation of its character, as had supposed | impossible. chronicle the reaults thus AL though have been situated several times SO that should formerly have believed severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, have es- capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light. and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr Lighthili, withs out need of recourse to the old fermentatiofs; or emetics l; and the discharges from the head have resumed the original and natural condi- tiou.. That have been able to obtain so ma- terial relief, is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatcYer the sx. 1 pertinent may have cost me. ..'' l make this statement unsolicited. as A means of ofacknowledg.ug my obligation to Dr. Lighthills $ method of treating catarfll, and ] with view to aid any one who may have suf- 1 fercd from that disease, in forming just opin. ion ofits merits, and its probable utility in their own case.

Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skillfui 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 leRrn the particulars of my case, and am Indeed surprised at the numb l of individuals who gre affected similar to the manner in which have been, and therefore feel it more and more s rscred duty which I owe to those snferers, to direct them to d proper and reliable source 10 obtain tue Lcne- fit they so much covst, and which so iianAr afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain. just as had done previous to applying to Dr: Lighthill.
 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 discomfort to me. Last year the other ear also became diseased, and both ears dischaIgea yellow matter, very profilse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much impli ed and the discbarr4, ,1rodnced the greatest debility of body and G.a,rst.ion of spirits. 1applied to my family li,ysician and other practitioners without deiipihs any bon. ieft, and almost despa;red of h.irg rect. ted In health, when providentially, applied to Dr. Lighthill. Under this treatment my ears be-, gan to improve at once. and continued h tlS so, until, in comparatiye short time, both, ears were healed, the eisvharge reiriovsd sr1 my hearing restored. At first feared inc cnrs would not be permanent, or that the stoppade of discharges of so lrng standing might broSc c- detrimental to my general health. d feas which find great many entertain in regsrS to the emoval of discharge from the ear.
