Dr. LleHFHILL-Dear Sir: Under date
of March Ii, l sent you 8 careful statement
Of my case, my former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief IN that direction, nv
resort 10 your treatment and its beneficial
results.
1 have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
Of cstsrrh, marked by febrile syptom., vio-
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
of the cavities of the head, a~ecompaniedia
the first stages by a wstery discharge from
the nose, subsequently, becoming scrid and
yellow and towards the close of the stack
purient and bloody. These attacks pro-
duced q most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for q
period varying from q TO three weeks,
sometimes 30 violent as to incspaciate me
for business, and confne me TO my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce toothsche, or
to the throat, occasioniDg ~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 a dark.
ened room
Ihsd tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snufs and other cstsrrh-
81 preparations Of some half q dozen kinds
applications to the head of csmphor,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and csthartics employed to
induce counter action. But none of these
hsd produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief vas afforded, it was at the
expense of 30 much strength as to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstanees I was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncurability
of the disease to make q trial of your
treatment. 1 found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease IS it had
never been reached before, and allevisting
its symptoms to an extent which I had
supposed impossible. At the time when 1
gave you my former certificate, while 1
did not feel assured of q complete cure, 1
had obtained 3 mAterialrelief which Amply
repaid me for my trial of your treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was IS effective as it was simple and philo.
sophical. A substantial escape from nv
old attacks of catsrrh, 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 I sent you that statement
and whileit is unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public it seems to nj 8 matter of sim

may be suffering as I was, to add that 1
am not only IS tally satisfied as to the util.
ity and efficacy Of your treatment of ca
tarrh ss I was Elk months sgo, but 1 am
now of the belief that if there is such q
thing as q cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, in
nv case s substantial cure has been effect
