DIR LIGHrHILL-Dear iST: Under dste
of March IA sent you careful statement
of my case, my former treatment, my fall
ure 10 obtain relief in that direction, my
resort TO your trestment and its beneficial
results. y
have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject TO violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, marked by febEile symptoms,
violent Inflammation OF the lining men,
brsnes of the cavities OF the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by watery dis
chstge from the nOse, subsequently, becOm-
ing acrid and yellow, and towards the clOee
of the stack 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 rs TO incapac-
itate me for .businee. and contne me TO
my bed. At times the attendant inf sm-
nation would extend 10 the teeth, pro-
ducing toothache or 70 the throat OCCASION
ing hoarseness and partial loss of voice
and twice within the last lew years 1t has
so affected the right eye Ms TO cOnhne me
for weeks 10 q dArkened room.
l had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs ndother catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications to the hesd Of camphOr, ginger
and hot fermentation of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and cstbsrtics employed TO induce
counter action. But nOre of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and in the few instances in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, It was at the eX-
rense of so much strength as TO leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum-
stances l was led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed iDcurabIityof
the disease, TO make trial of your treat
ment. / found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease rs it had never
been reached before and sileviating Its
symptoms TO an extent which l had sup
posed impossible. At the time when
gave you my former certificate, while l did
not feel assured of 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 phllo-
sophieal. A substantial escape IRON my
old attacks Of cstarrh, for the almost IN
precedented period of nearly half year,
and that in spite of severe attacks Of ILL
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, to me,
proof of an important success. 1t is now
lix months since sent you that statement
and while it is Unpleasant for me TO appear
thus constantly, ilnl Ii this guise, before
the public, it seems to ME a matter Of SIM
pie Justice to yourself and 10 those who
NAV be suffering as l Was, to add that l
am not only 80 fully satisfied ss TO the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment Of ca
tsrrh as was six months ago, but am
now of the belief that if there is such 8
thing ss q cure Tor CHRONIC CATARRH, in
nv case substantial cure has been ef-
fected. FREDERICK s. JEWELL,
