DR.. LIeHTBIh1-Dea7- Slq-: Under date
Of March IA sent you careful statement
of my case, my former treatment my fail
ure 10 obtain relief il that direction, my
resort TO your treatment ana It's beneaciaI
results.
l have been, from tie winter of the year
ls44, subiset 20 violent periodical attacks
OF uSLsrrh, marked by febrila symptoms,
violent Inflammation OF the lining mom-
branes Of lie cavities of the hesd, sccom-
Psnied in the first stages by wstery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently becom-
ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close
of the sttsck pUrient and bloody, these
attacks produced most distressing species
OF headache, occurring periodically each
day For period varying from one to three
weeks, sometimes 50 violent as 20 incspac-
itate me Tor business, and conhne me to
my bed. At times the attendant inAah-
nation would extend 70 the teeth, pro-
ducing toOthache, or 20 the throat, OCCASION
ing hoarseness and partisi loss of voice /;
and twice within the last few years it has
so affected the right eye ss to confine me
or weeks 10 a dsIkened room.
l had tried medieines and applications
of various kinds snLffs and other catarrhal
preparations Of some half dozen kinds:
applications to the head of camphor, ginger
and hot tomentatios 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. lew 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 some re-
luctance, from the supposed incurabilityof
the disease, ~ make a trial of your treat
ment. l found it soon beyond even nv
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and aIeviating its
symptoms TO an extent which | had sun
posed impossible. At the time when L
gave you my former certificate, while l did
not feel assured Of complete cure, 1 had
obtained material relief which amply
repsid me for my trial Of you treatment
and which satisfied me that that treztmcnt
was as effective rs IL Was simple and philo- |
sophIcal. A substantial escape from my |
old attacks Of catarrh, for the almost un- |
precedented period of nearly half year.
and that IN spite OF severe attacks Of i'll /
hess, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, TO me,
proof Of an important success. 1t is now
TX months since sent you that statement
and while 1t Is Unpleasant for me 70 appear
nus constantly, and In this guise, before
.he public, 1t seems TO me matter Of sim
pie justice to yourself and 70 those who
nay be suffering as I was, to add that 1
I'm not only as fully satisfied rs 10 the util-
ty and efficacy of your trestment of ca
arrh as l was six months ago, but l am
low of the belief that if there is such
hing as cure for Chronic CATARRH, in
ny case substantial cure hss been eff
eeted. FREDERICK s. JEWELL,
