DR. LIGHTHnL-DeGr Sir: Under date
OF March IA sent you q careful statement
of my case, my former treatment nv fail
ure to obtain relief in that direction, nv
resort to your treatment and its beneficial
results.
l have been, from the winter of the yesr
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
OF ostarrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining men,
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by watery 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 to three
weeks, sometimes SO violent as to incapac-
itste me for business, and confine me TO
my bad. At times the attendant ipIam.
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing toothache, or to the throat OCCASION
ing hosrseness and partial loss of voice;
and twice within the last few years it has
SO affected the right eye as to confne me
for weeks to daIkened room.
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds: snuff and othar aa4ar-s4I
preparations OF some half dozen kinds;
applications to the head OF cSmphOr, ginger
and hot tomentstioH of different kinds:
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and csthsrtics employed to induce
counter action. But nore of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and in the few instances in which teupo-
raj relief was afforded, it was at the ex-
pense of so much strength as TO leave me |
greatly exhausted. Under these circum.
stances was led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed incurability of |
the disease, to make trial of your treat
ment. I found it soon beyond even my |
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never |
been reached before, and s,leviating its
symptoms TO an extent which l had SUD-
posed impossible. At the time when l
gave you my former certificate, while did
not feel assured of complete cure, 1 had
obtained materisl relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment

old attacks of catarrh, for the almost un-
precedented period Of nearly half 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 now
