CURE OF CATARRH.
From Rev. Fred. s. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School, Albany, N. Y.

From Rev. Fred s. Jewell, Professor Of
 State Normal School. Albany, N. Y.
 This may certify that I have been, since 1844, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarrh, marked by highly infamed condi- tion of the lining membranes of the cavities of the head, producing most distressing species of headache for days at time wholly incapac- 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, occasioning toothache; to the throat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice !; and twice it has so affected the left eye as to contine me for month or more to darken- ed room. These attacks have been accompan- jed by strong febrile symptoms by stoppage 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 beroming bloody and purulent. have tried medicines of almost every kind i; external applications to the heal such as cam- phor, ginger, hot bandaSes, and Concentrations of hot vinegar snuffs of some half a dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to, gether with internal remedies, such as altera | tives 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 had come, at length, to believe the disease to be practically beyond either cure or material alleviation. Under these circumstances I was led, some five months ago, to make a trial of Dr. Lighth- ilIs treatment. His method at once approved
 itself to my judgment as simple, philosophical, and likely to be effective, Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which it labored, in dealing with disease Of such long standing, aggravated by nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor, I found the treatment reach-
 ing the disease as it had never been reached before, and producing such modification and alIeviation 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, I have es- capped thus far. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. Lighthill, 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 relief Is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatever the ex- pertinent may have cost me.
 I make this statement unsolicited as 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)
