DIR LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Under date
of March IL, [ sent youa careful statement
Of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief IN THAT direction, my
resort 10 your treatment and its beneficial
results.
l have been, from the winter O Lhe year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of cstsrrh, marked by febrile syPtome, VIC
lent Inflammation Of the lining eIhbranes
Of the cavities Of the head, a-ccompsDiedin
the first stages by 3 Watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently, becoming acrid and
yellow and towards tho close of The attack
Purient and bloody. These attacks pro.
duced a most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for q
period varying from n to three weeks,
sometimes so violent as to incapaciste me
for business, and condne me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce toothsche, or
10 the throat, Occssioning h~osrseness and
partial loss Of voice; and twice within tho
last few years it has so affected the right
eye as TO cOntne ma ior weeks TO O dark
ened room.
Ihad tried medicines and applications
of various kindsi snuifs and other cataTrh-
~ nrensraiinns nf Some bcIf e da=an- Lf-S
applications TO the head of CamDhOr,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds and in connection with these tho
usual emetics and cathsrtics EMPLOYED TO
induce counter action. But none Of these
had produced any permanent improve
meut, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of so much strength as to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstsnees 1 was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncursbiliLy
Of the disease, TO make q trisl Of your
treatment. 1 found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease as It had
never been reached before, and sIleviating
its symptoms to an extent which / had
supposed impossible. At the time when l
gave you my former certificate, while l
did not feel assured Of a complete cure, l
had obtained amsterislrelief which amply |
repaid me for my trial Of your treatment,
and which satisfied me that that treatment
YVES as effective as if was simple and phiio.
sOphicaL. A substantial escape from my
old attacks Of cstsrrb, for the almost IN
precedented period of nearly half q year,
and that in spite Of severe attacks Of i'll
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such sn occurrence inevitable, was to me,
proof Of IN important success. It is now
months since 1 sent you That statement
and while 1t Is unpleasant for me 20 appear
constantly, and in this guise, before
public, it seems to me a matter OF sim
pie justice TO yourself and TO those who
may be suffering as 1 was, to add thst 1
am not only as fully satisfied rs to the ulil-
ty and efficacy Of your treatment Of Ca
,arrh as I was six months ago, but I sm
now of the belief that if there is such q
as a cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, in
ny case a substantial cure has BEN effect
