Dr.. LIGHTHILL-DeGr Str: Under date
of March IA sent you q 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. r.
have been, from the winter Of the year
1874, subject TO violent periodical attacks
of eatarrh, marked by fsbrile 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 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 as TO inc8pse-
itate me for business, and contine me to
my bed. At times the attendant inf4m-
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing tOothache, or TO the throat, OCCASION
ing hOarseDess and partial loss Of voice /;
and twice within the last few years it has
so affected the right eye as to cOntine me
for weeks TO q dsrkened room
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs and other catarrhal
preparations of some half q dozen kinds;
applications to the head of csmphor, ginger
and hot fermentation Of different kinds F;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and cathartics employed to induce
counter action. But nOLe of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and in the few instances In which tempo
raj relief was afforded, il 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 ineursbility Of
the disease, to make 4 trial of your treat
ment. / found it soon beyond even my
hopes reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and silevisung its
symptoms TO an extent which l had sup
posed impossible. At the time when L
gave you my former certificate, while l did
not feel assured of q complete cure, l had
obtained q material 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-
sopbIcal. A substantial escape from my
old stacks of cstsrrh, for the slmost 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. 1t 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, il seems TO me matter Of sim
ple Justice to yourself and to those who
may be suffering as was, to sdd that l
sm not only as fully satisfied IS to the utll-
ity and efficacy of your treatment OF cs-
tsrrh as was six months ago, but am
now of the belief that if there is such a
thing as a cure tor CHRONIC CATARRH, IN
nv case substantial cure has been ef-
fected. FRKDERICK s. JEWELL,
