From REV. FRED. 8. JEwELL, PRoEEsscR OF
sTATE NORMAL SCHOOL, ALBAEEY h. 7.
This may certify that have been, since
1874, subject to periodical attacks of ca
tarrab, marked by highly inhamed con-
! dition Of the lining membranes Of the cav
tiles Of the head, producing most distress
sing species of headache for days at o time,
| wholly iuGapacitating me for business, and
during the parOxysms cOnfining me to bed.
In some instances the inflammation has ex-
tended 10 the teeth, oceasiOning teothache,
| 10 the throat, producing hoarseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice it has so
| effected tho left eye as to confne me for q
month or moro to a darkened room. These
attacks have been accompanied by strong
febrile symptoms; by stoppage Of the head,
and, in the first stages, BY watery discharg-
es from the nose, subsequently becoming
aerid and yellow, and towards the close Of
the attack becoming bloody and purulent.
| / have tried medicines Of almost every kind;
external applications to the head such as
champion, ginger, hot bandages, and TO-
mentations Of hot vinegar; snutfs of some
/ half dozen kinds, and other catarrahla
/ preparations, together with internal rene
dies, such as Alternatives, cathartics, and
cosmetics. These have produced no change
in the occurrence of character of the di-
| sease, and in most cases, with little or no
Temporary relief, 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..
| Lightbill's treatment. His method at once
SspproYed itself to my judgment as sim pie,
philosophical, and likely IL, be elective
| Notwithstanding the disadvantages under
| which it labOred, in dealing with disease
of such long standing, aggravated by nerv-
GUS debility and dyspepsiaS and constant
ly induced by the accidents Of my profess
sl0Eal ldDOr5 1 IOunu the treatment reach
ing the disease as it had never been reach
/ ed before, and producing such. a
modification and allsviation Of its char
seter, as l had supposed impossible.
| chronicle the results thus. Although !
have been situated several times so that
should formerly have believed a severe
attack OF my catarrh inevitable, have B
capped thus far; the symptoms o. threatened
attack have been very Light, and have
I yielded TO the remedies applied by Doctor
| Lighthill, without need Of recourse to the
old lamentations or emetics; and the dis
charges from the head have resumed the
i original anG the natural condition. Icount
upon complete cure. That l have been
| able, however, to obtain 50 material ellie
is TO me cause of gratitude. In thai
alone am repaid for whatever the expert
msnt may have cost me.
/ ! make this statement unsolicited, as q
means of acknowledging my obligation to
| Dr. Lighthill's method Of treating cstarrh,
! and with a view to aid any one who may
have suffered from that disease, in forming
a just opinion OF its merits, and its probable
/ utility in their own case.
