 Ihis may certify that I have been, since lS44, subject t" violent periodical attacks of catalrh marked by a highly infiamed condi. tion of ihe lining mem hanrs of tlIe cavities of the head, producing a most distressing species of headache for days at a time, wholly incapac. itating me for business, and during rlfe .RarQx! ysms contining me to the bed. In some in. stances the ihflanaton has extended sto tasG teeth, questioning toothache; Co tic Mf6at, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice it has SD Affected the left eye as to contine ,I.e for month or more to darken. ed room. These atracks have been accompan. jed by strong fehrile symptoms by stoppage | "i the head. and, in the first stages, by watery l discharges from the nose. subscq uentl ly becom. | ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of
 the attack berumng bloUty and purulent. l ] Lave tric, nie'iicines Of aln2ost every kind external applications to the hea such as cam.

 of hot vinegar sn,ltfs at som, half a dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to-
 getler with internal remedies. such as altrra l lives, cathartics, and cOsmetics. These have
 produced no chang" in the occurrence or char
 acter of the disease, and, in most cases. with 1 little or no temporary relief. had come, at

 beyond either cure or material alleviation. | Under these circumstaIicts was led. some ! five months ago, to make a trial of Dr. Eighth 1 ilrs treatment His ipGfiotl at once apl roved itself Co my judgment as simple, philosophical. and likely to be effective. Notwithstanding the disadvantages under which it laboretl, in dealing with a disease of such long standing. l aggravated Ky hervons debility and dyspepsia. and constantly induced by the accidents of my professional labor. found the treatment reach, ing the disease as it had never been reached befnre. and producing such a modification and alIev eviatinn of its character, as had supposetl
