DR.. LIGHTHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
OF March IA 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.
1 have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, 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 scrid 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 70 three
weeks, sometimes so violent as TO incapac-
itate me for business, and eonfne me to
nay bed. At times the attendant inflIm-
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 confDe me
lOf weeks 10 u uaEh6u6u TOOIus
l had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs sndother 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 cAthaftics employed u induce
counter action. But more of tnese had
produced any permanent improvement,
and in the few instances in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, it was at the eX-
pense of so much strength as TO leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum-
stances l was led, though with come re-
luctanee, from the supposed incursbilityo of
the disease, to make q trial of your treat
ment, l found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and slleVisting its
symptoms to an extent which had sup
posed impossible At the time when
gave YOU my former certificate, while l did
not feel assured Of complete cure, had
obtained q material relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you Treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective as 1t was simple and phllo-
sophIcal. A substantial escape from my
old attacks OF catarrh, Tor the almost un-
precedented period of nearly half year;
and that in spite of severe attacks OF Ill
ness, which would have formerly rendered
sucb an occurrence inevitable, was, TO me,
proof of an important success. 1t Is now
az months since sent you that statement
and while it is Unpleasant for me to appear
tbus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, it seems to me matter of sim
pie Justice to yourself and to those who
nav 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
tarrh IS 1 wss six months ago, but l am
now of the belief that if there is such
thing as cure for CHRoEIc CATARRH, in
my casa substantial cure has been sf-
factsd. FREDERIcK s. JEWELL
