DR. LIGHTHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
of March Il sent you careful statement
of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief in that direction, my
resort TO your treatment and its beneficial
results.
have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of cstsrrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent infamm Stion 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 aerid 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 rs TO incspac-
itate me for business, and confne me to
my bed. At times the attendant infIsm-
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing toothsche or to the throat, OCCASION
ing hoarseness and partial loss of voice :;
and twice within the last few years it has

hsd tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs andother catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications to the head of camphor, ginger
and hot fermentation of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and csthartics employed to induce
counter action. But more of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and in the few instances in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, it was at the ex-
pense of so much strength IS to leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum.
stances l was led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed incursbility of
the disease, to make trial of your treat
ment. l found 1t soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as il had never
been reached before, and aileviating It's
symptoms to an extent which I had sup
posed impossible. At the time when L
gave you my former certificate, while 1 did
not feel assured of a complete cure, had
obtained material relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you treatment,
and which satisfied me that that tiestment
was as effective as it was simple and philo-
sophIcsl. A substantial escape from my
old sttscks OF catarrh, Tor the almost un-
precedented period of nearly half year,
and that in spite of severe attacks of i'll
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 that statement
and while it is Unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, it seems TO me matter of SIM
pie justice to yourself and to those who
may be, suffering as I was, to add that 1
am not only as fully satisfied as to the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment of cs-
tarrh IS 1 was six months ago, but 1 am
now of the belief that if there is such q
thing as euro for CHRoEIc CATARRH, in
my case a substantial cure has been eff
fected. FREDERICK s. JEWELL
