DR.. IIIGHTHmL-Dcar Sir: Under date
of March IA l sent you 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 4
I have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject TO violent periodical attacks
of eatarrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining mem
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by wstery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently, becom-
/ ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close
of the attack purient and bloody. These
attacks produced most distressing species
of headache, occurring periodically each
day for period varying from one to three
weeks, sometinles so violent as to incspsc-
itate me for business, and eonfne me to
my bed. At times the attendant infsm-
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
dueing tOothsehe, or to the throat, occasion
ing hoarsenass and partial loss of unioO
and twice within the last few years it has
80 affected the right eye as to conhne me
for weeks to q 5Arkened room
/ had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs and other catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications TO tn head of eamphor, ginger
and hot tomsnts1tion OF different kinds;
and IN connection with these the usual
emetics and csthaI tics employed to induce
counter action. but more of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and In the few inst Snces in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, it was et the eK-
pense of so much strength as TO ]esVe me
greatly exhausted. Under these cireum-
stances l was led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed incurabiiityo Of
the disease, to make trial Of your treat
ment. l found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and sileviHtIng lis
symptoms 70 an extent which had sup
posed impossible. At tha time when l I
gave you my former certificate, while did |
not feel assured of q complete cure, had !
obtained 3 material relief which amply |
repaid me for my trial Of you treatment /
and which satisfied me that that treatment |
wss as effective as it wss simple and philo-
sophIcsL A substantial escape from my
old attacks Of cstarrh, for the almost un-
period of nearly half year.
and that in spite of severe attacks of i'll
ness, which would hsve formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, to me,
proof Of an important success. It is now /
IiK months Eince I sent you that statement,
and while it is unpleasant for me TO appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public il seems to me matter of SIM
pie Justice 70 yourself and to those who
may be suffering as was, to add that 1
am not only as fully satisfied as TO the util-.
ity and efficacy Of your treatment of ca.
.srrh as Was SIX months ago, but am
now of the belief that if there is such q
thing az 3 cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, in
nv case Q substantial cure has been ef-.
