DR. LIGHTHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
Of March IA l sent you careful statement
of my case, my former treatment my fall
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 cstarrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining mem
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by watery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently becom-
ing acrid 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 incspac-
tate me for business, and confne me to
my bed. At times the attendant infl4m-
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing toothaehe, or 70 the throat, OCCASION
ing hOarseness 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 dsrkened room.
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs and other catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications to the head of csmphor, ginger
and hot fermentation of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and oathsrtics 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 st the ex-
pense of 80 much strength as to leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum.
stances was led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed incursbility of
the disease, to make trial of your treat
ment. l found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and aleviating Its
symptoms 10 an extent which had sup
posed impossible, AT the time when l
gave you my former certificate, while l did
not feel assured of q complete cure, had
obtained material relief which amply
repaid me for my trial Of you treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was as effective IS it was simple and philo-
sOphIcal. A substantial escape from nv
old stacks of catsrrh, for the almost un-
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
Iix months since I sent you that statement
and whils tits unpleasant for me to appear
Ihus 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 was, to add that !
AM nosUnly IS fully satisfied as othe util- !
ty and efficacy of your treatment of ca
arrh as I was six months ago but am
low of the belief that if there is such q
hing as cure TOR CHRoEIc CATARRH, in
ny case q substantial cure has been eff
ected. ~ FREDERIcK s. JEWELL,
