DIR. LiGHTHILL-Deur Sir: Under date
of March IA, L sent you = careful sta ement
of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief IN that direction, my
resort 10 your treatment and lis beneficial
results.
1 have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subj set to violent periodical attacks
Of cstarrh, marked by febrile syptom., viO-
lent Inflammation of the lining embrsnes
of the cavities Of the head, accompaniment
the first stages BY q wstery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming scrid and
yellow and towards the close of the attack
purient and bloody These attacks pro-
duced a most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from n TO three weeks,
sometimes 80 violent as to incspaciste me
Tor business, and cOnfne me to my bed At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend 70 the teeth, produce toothache, or
to the throat, Occssioning hoarseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
last few years it has go affected the right
eye as to eonfne me Tor weeks to 3 dark
ened room. .
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs and other catsrrh-
81 preparations Of some half q dozen kinds ;
applications to the head of csmphoE
ginger snd hot fermentation Of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and csthsrtics employed to
induce counter action. But none OF these
hsd produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of go much strength as TO leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstsDces l was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed incursbility
of The disease, to make 8 trial of your
treatment. / found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease IS it had
never oeen reached before, and sllevisting
its symptoms to an extent which l had
supposed impossible. at the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while 1
did not feel assured of a complete cure, 1
had obtained 8 msterislrelief which amply
repaid me for my trial OF your treatment,
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective as it was simple and philo.
sophicsl. A substantial escape from my
old attacks OF cstSrrh, Tor the almost I'M
precedenIed period Of nearly hslf q year,
and that in spite of severe attacks of ILL
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was to me,
proof of an important success. It is nov
SIX months since l sent you that statement
and willie it is unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, it seems to me q matter of SIM
pie Justice to yourself and to those whe
may be sufsing IS I 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 / was six months ago but I am
now of the belief that if there is such q
thing as 3 cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, in
my case . substantial cure has been effect
