DR.. LIGHTHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
of March IA 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.
l have been, from the winter of the wear
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catsrrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining mem
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by 8 watery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently becom-
ing acrid and yellow, and towards the closs
of the attack purient and bloody. These
attacks produced most distressing species
of headache, occurring periodically each
day for period varying from one 70 three
weeks, sometimes SO violent as to incapae-
itste me for business, and cOnfne me to
my bed. At times the attendant inf4m-
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing toothsche, or TO the throat, OCCASION
ing hoarseness and partial loss of voice
and twice within the last few years it has
so affected the right eye as to eonfne me
for weeks to dArkened room.
l had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs and other catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications to the head of cSmphor, ginger
and hot fermentation of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and cathsrtics employed to induce
counter action. But more of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and in the few instances in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, it was at the ex-
pense of 80 much strength as to leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum.
stances l was led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed incurabilityo of
The disease, tc make trial of your trsst-
ment. l found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and allevisting its
symptoms TO an extent which had SUD-
posed impossible. At the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while did
not feel assured of complete cure, had
obtained q material relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you treatment,
snd which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective as it was simple and philo-
sophIcal. A substantial escape from my
old attacks of catarrh, for the almost I'M
precedented period of nearly half 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 sent you that statement
and while it is Unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, it seems to me 8 matter of SIM
pie Justice to yourself and to those who
may be suffering as was, 70 add that 1
am not only IS fully satisfied as to the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment of Ca
tarrh as / was six months ago, but am
now of the belief that if there is such q
hing as cure tor CHR0EIc OATARRH, in
nv case . substantial cure has been eff
Tscted. ls FREDERICX s. JEWELL
