De. LIGHTHmL-Dedr Sir Under date
of March IA l sent you q careful statement
of my case, my former treatment my fail
ure to obtain relief II that direction, my
resort to your treatment and its beneficial
results.
l have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, marked by febrile syptoms, VIC
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
of the cavities of the head, accompaniedin
the first stages by q watery discharge from
the noss, subsequently becoming Acrid 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 q
period varying from one to three weeks,
sometimes so violent IS to ~incspAciste me
for business, and conf1ne me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend 70 the teeth, produce toothsohe, or
TO the throat, oecasiOning hearseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
LAST few years it has 60 affected the right
eve ast confne me for weeks to q dark
ened room.
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds snufIs and other catarrh-
al preparations of some half 8 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 none OF these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of 30 much strength as TO leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstaDces I was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed ~incurAbility
of the disease, to make a trial of your
treatment l found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease IS It mad
never been reached before, and alleviating
its symptoms to an extent which I had
supposed impossible. At the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while ]
did not feel assured Of a complete cure, /
had obtained q mAterialrelief which amply
repaid me- for my trial Of your treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective as It WA simple and philo.
sophical. A substantial escape from my
old attacks. of catarrh, for the almost I'M
precedented period Of nearly half q year
and that in spite Of severe stacks of ill
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 thst statement
and while 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 suffering as 1 was, TO add that I
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 / am
now Of the belief fiat if there is such q
thing as q cure for CHRONIC OATARRK, in
nv case q substantial cure has BEN effect
