DR. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Under date
Of March IA sent you q careful statement
Of my case, my formsr 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 cstarrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining mem
brsnes 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 10 ineapac-
itste me for business, and conine me to
my bed. At times the attendant infsm-
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing toothache, or 10 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
had tried medicines and applications
Of various kinds; snufs andOther catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications to the head of eamphor, ginger
and hot fomentstioH of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and csthsrtics employed to induce
counter action. But noI Q 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 80 much strength as to leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum-
stances L was led, though with some re-
lucLsnce, from the supposed incursbility of
the disease, 10 make Il trial Of your trest-
ment. 1 found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and sileViating its
symptoms TO sn extent which had sup
posed impossible. At the time when l
gave you my former certificate, while did
not feel assured of complete cure, hsd |
obtained g maUerisl relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment |
was as effective as it was simple and philo- |
sOphIcsl. A substantial escape from my |
old attacks of cstsrrh, for the almost un-
precedented period of nearly half q 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 nae to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, it seems to me a matter Of SIM
pie justice to yourself and to those who
may be suffering as was, to add that
am not only as fully satisfied as to the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment of ca
ssrrh ss was six months ago but am
now Of the belief that if there is such 3
thing as cure tor CHRoEIc CATARRH, in
my case 8 substantial cure has been eff /
fected- FREDERICK s. JEWELL
