 State Normal School Albany, N. r.
 This may certify that have been, since lSl4, subject t" violent periodical attacks of cai"lrh. marked by Il highly inAamed cond- th'n of he lining mcm hranes of the cavities of tEe L"ad, producing a most distressing species pt headache for day at q time, wholly incapac- itnting inc for business, and during the parox- ysms coninng nG to the bed In some i'm staLcca the int,mation has extended to the teeth, occlsi"hing toothache; 10 the throat, pro"ucinS hoarsencss and partial loss of voice | and vice ii has affected the left eve ns to i cOniile ne for q month more to tlarken. | GI room. These attacks have been accpn1taf1- | led by strong febrie symptoms by stoppage 1 /! t.e head. and in the first stages by watery
 discharges from the nose, subseq becom.
 ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of
 the attack hei"nng bloody and purulcnt. I l have tried medicines of almost every kind : external applications to the hea such as cam. pl'"r, ginger, hot h:indages. and Concentrations
 Of hot vinegar snlitfa of some half dozen
 kinds and other catarrhal preparations, to.
 grthcr with internal remedies such as altera
 lives cathalics, and cosmetics These have
 produced no cliung@ in the occurrence or char:
 actcr Of tIIe disease, and, in most cases. witk 1 little Or no temporary relief. 1 had cotl1e, at | length to believe he disease to be practically l beyond either cure or material allcviuton ] Under these circumstances I was led some l five months ago, to make a trial of Dr.. Liglth- ili's treatment. His ncthod at once ap, roved itself [" my judgment as simple, philosophical, and likely to hc effective. withstandinG ! the disadvantages under which it laboretl. in dealing with disease of such long standing: aggravated hy 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'prodGcing such modification and alleviatl"n of its character, as had supposed impossible. chronicle the reaults thus Al. though have been situated several times Sd that should formerly have believed a severe attack of my catarrh inevitable. I have es. capped thus f'sr. The symptoms of threatened attack have been very light, and have yielded t" the remedies applied by Dr LightliIi with out need of recourse to the old fermen tations, or erseiics and the discharges from the hea have resumed the original and natural condi- tiou. IhatI have been able to obtain SO ma. teral relief, is to me cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatever the ex. pertinent may have cost me.
 make this statement unsolicited. as a means of acknowledging my obligation to Dr. Li"hthill's motiiOd of treating catarrh, and
 with view to aid any one who may have suf. ferrd from that disease in forming just opin, 1 ion its merits, and it's probable utility iH l their own case. (Signed)
