DE-. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Under date
Of March IA, l sent you a careful statement
Of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief IN that direction, my
resort TO your treatment and its beneficial
results.
1 have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subj act to violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, marked by febrile syptoms, Vio-
lent Inflammation of the lining u embrsnes
of the cavities Of the head, accompaniment
the first stages by a wstery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming scfid and
yellow sud towards the close of the attack
purient and bloody. These attacks pro
duced q most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from one 70 three week.,
Sometimes so violent Sc to incspaciate me
for business, and conhne me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce tOothache, or
20 the throat, occasi0nirg h~oarseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice Within the
1st few years 1t has 60 affected the right
eye rs to confne me for weeLs to 8 dark.
ened room
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snufs and other catarrh-
a. preparations Of some half q dozen kinds
applications to the head of camphor,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and cathsrtics employed to
induce counter action. But none OF these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances In which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of 90 much strength as to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstsDces l was led, though with come
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncursbility
of the disease, to make s trial of your
treatment. 1 found it soon beyond wen
my hopes reaching the disease IS it had
never been reached before, and alternating
It's symptoms to an extent which I hsd
supposed impossible. At the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while 1
did not feel assured of a complete cure, 1
had obtsined q materials relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of your freshmen,
and which satisfied me that that treatment
WIS IS effective as if was simple and philo.
sophicsl. A substantial escape from my
old attacks OF catarTh, for the almost I'M
p~recedented period of nearly half q year,
and that in spite Of severe attacks Of i'll
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was to me,
proof Of an important success. It is now
six months since l sent you that statement,
and while it is unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the pablo, it seems to me q matter of sim
pie justice to yourself and to those whe
may be suffering as I was, to add that I
am net only as fully satisfied as to the util-
ity and efficacy Of your treatment Of cs-
tsrrh as l wss six months sgo, but I am
now Of the belief that if there is such q
thing az 8 cure for CHRONIC CATARBH, in
my case q substantial cure hiss been effect
