DR. LIGHTHnL-DeGT Sir: Under date
of March IA sent you q careful statement
of my case, my former 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 catarrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining men,
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by a wstery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently bocom-
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 incapsc-
itate me for business, and confne me to
my bed. At times the attendant inf an
nation would extend to the teeth, pro-
ducing tootbache, or to the throat, OCCASION

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 csthsrtics employed TO induce
counter action. But nor of these had
produced sny permanent improvement,
and in the few instances in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, it was st 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 incursbiliLy Of
the disease, to make u trisl of your trest-
ment. 1 found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before and s,levialing lis
symptoms to an extent which 1 had sup
posed impossible. At the time when l
gave you my former certiicste, while l did
not feel assured of a complete cure, 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-
sophIcal. A substantial escape from my
| old attacks of cstarrb, for the almost un-
precedented period of nearly half year;
and thst in spite of severe attacks of i'll
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, 10 NE,
proof of an important success. 1t Is now
SIX months since l sent you that statement
and while it is Unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before

pie Justice to yourself and to these who
may be suffering as was, to add that l
am not only as fully satisfied as 10 the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment of ca
tarrh as 1 was six months ago, but l am
now of the belief that if there is such 8
thing as cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, in
nv case 8 substantial cure has been eff
| fected. FREDERICK S. JEWELL,
