weather this winter, wich is exceedingly un-
comfortable to negroes and ccllar-door lodg-
ors, and as the Woodchuck is undoubtedly
the cause of this war of the elements upon
the comforts of this superior class in our
country, and as removing the cause will
prevent like recurrence in the future, the
Seneca AdrcrtiSer calls upon the Congress

This may certify that l have been, since le44, subject to violent periodical attacks of catarEh. nldrked by highly int1amed cou.ii- ten of the lining mem brancs of the cavities uf l the head, producing piost distressing species oi headache for days at a time, wholly incapao. i1a'ing mo for business, and during the parox- ysms contining me to the bed h some in. stances the inflammation has extended .s the teeth, occasiol,ing toothache to the throat, producing hOarseness and partial less of voics and twice Ii las so affected the left eye ai to cohtine inu for D inuath or more to darken. ed room. These attacks have been accoippaL- jed Ey strong feb!iie symptoms by stoppagi "i the head. and, In the first stages. by watcry discharges from tine nose, gutscQ ucntly becom: ing aerid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack bcroming bloody and pnrulent. I have tried medicines of almust every kind external applications to the lIca sucli as cams, phor, ginger, hot banGages and fomentatio!S | of hot vinegar snuifs of somr half dozen kints, and ether catarrhal preparations, to. 1 gether with internal remedies. such as altera l lives, cathArtics, and cosmetics. These hays l produced no change in the occurrence or char acter of the disease, and, in most cases, with | little or no temporary relief. had come, at length. to believe the disease to be practically beyond either cure or matsrial alleviation. Under these clrcumstailCes was led. sofhe five months ago, to riake a trial of Dr. Lightk.
 
 itself to my judgment as simple philosophical and likely to be effective. Notwithstandiuk | the disadvantages under which it labored, irS dealing with disease of such long standingy aggravated Ky nervous debility and dyspcpsia, !, and constantly induced by the accidents otray professional labor, found the treatmGht reach. ing the disease as it Lad never been reached before, and producing such q modification and alleviaton of its character, as had supposed impossible. chronicle the reaults thus. AL though l have been situated several times so that should formerly have believed severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, I have es- capped thss far. The symptoms of threatened attack have ucen very light, and have yielded to the remedies applied by Dr. lightlili. with out need of recourse to the old fcrmehtativns, or erGetics ; and the discharges from the head have resumed the original and natural condi: 1 tiou.
