From The pusuque Her.Id. Jn1r III

lFrom TIE Dubuque Herald, July III
One OF the most extraordinary cases of
the effects of snake bite of which we
have heard occurred last Saturday st Balls
Prairie, IN the norther part of this county
Mr.. Jacob Shuster, a farmer, was engaged
In moving, and in swinging his scythe,
severed a r~sttlesnske a few inches bslow
the head. He then, ~promptedby curiosity,
proceeded TO examine the reptile, and sp.
preached 1t tor thst purpose, surprising it
20 have been rendered harmless, when it
instantly threw its head about and fastened
its fangs in his thumb. He threw the
snake oil by jerking his hand violently,
and immediately his entire system received
8 shock from the venom infused into
it by the snake. His arm swelled rapidly
TO four times its natural size, and became
of 3 dark color. He was seized with
vomiting and pnrging blood, snd it eYen
oozsd through the pores of his skin, and
large blisters filed with blood covered his
srm and hand. His sgony was intense,
and all efforts to relieve him were futile,
and II was found necessary to call medical
aid. A messenger was therefore dis
patched 70 this city for DR.. Staples, and he
Immediately repaired to the residence of
Mr.. Schuster, arriving there early Monday
morning. he found him suffering greatly,
and though the case seemed hopeless, made
every effort to countersct the poison which
was spread through his system. When
DR.. Staples left him, st about noon on
Monday, the patient was some easier, but
there was little expectation of his recovery.

DR. LIGHTHIL-Dear Sir: Allow me to
express my grateful thanks for the skill
and kind attention rendered 10 my dsugh-
ter, whose ears have been badly affected
for many years, and for some,months past
has been nearly deprived of hearing. The
sad deprivation, painfully embarrassing,
and 10 q degree known only to those who
have experienced it. If, therefore, there
be q remedy Tor this great evil, the cause
should be universally disseminated. I feel
it my duty, therefore, and it affords me
much pleasure, to give my testimony to the
affR5s. M sftPGts Fl nFepf Gs tSsssattmHgsfgst& a 4PSH FSsmgsse- -
ness since early childhood. The left ear
has been badly diseased. The right ear,
also for several years, was seriously Affect
ed, and the disease apparently increasing,
threatening the entire loss OF hearing. 1t
WIS with extreme difficulty that she could
participate in the conversation Of her
friends, and for two years has been de-
priVed of this source of social enjoyment.
Happily my attention was directed to your
advertisement, and l was induced to place
her in your care. Your treatment, under
care of q kind Providence, has been sue
cessful. Her hearing, so far IS lean judge
appears to be perfectly restored. Wheth-
or this restoration is permanent is q ques-
ton time alone can determine, but present
results are certainly very gratifying.
Lam, dear sIr,
Truly and gratefully yours,

DR. LlGHTHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
of March IA, l 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.
1 have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
OF cstsrrh, marked by febrile syptoms, VIC
lent Inflammation of the lining n embrsnes
of the cavities of the head, accompaniedin
the first stages by 3 Watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming aerid and
yellow and towards the close of the attack
purient and bloody. These attacks pro-
duced a most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically zach day for 8
period varying from n to three weeks,
sometimes 30 violent as to incapaciAte me
for business, and confne me to my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend TO the teeth, produce toothache, or
to the throat, occasioning hoarseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
last few years it has go affected the right
eye as to confne me for weeks TO 3 dark
ened room
Ihsd tried medicines and applications
-E---AS-l- ---aS @@d 49, e~GS--L
al preparations of some half s dozen kinds
applications to the head of csmphor,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds and in connection with these the
usual emetics and cathsrtics employed to
induce counter action. But none of these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances IN which
temporal relief was afforded, It was st the
expense of 30 much strength IS to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstanees l was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed incursbility
Of the disease to make 3 trial Of your
treatment. l found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease as 1t had
never been reached before, and alternating
its symptoms TO an extent which I had
supposed impossible. At the time when
gave you my former certificate, while I
did not feel assured of q complete cure, I
had obtained Amaterialrelief which amply
me for my trial Of Your 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 catarrh, for the almost un.
precedented period of nearly half q year
and that In spite of severe attacks of Ill
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such al occurrence inevitable, Wss to me,
proof Of an important success. II Is now
xix months since I sent you thst statement
and while it is unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise before
public, it seems to me Q matter Of sim
pie justice TO yourself and to those who
nay be suffering as I was, TO add that 1
an not only as fully Satisfied as to the util-
ty snd efficacy Of your treatment OF ca
srrh as I was Elk months ago but I am
low Of the belief that if there is such q
ming IS a cure for CHRONIC CATARRH. in
ny case q substantial cure has BEN effect

The Montreal papers have further dis
closures as to Sanford Oonover, the notOri-
u witness in the conspiracy case. It is
asserted in several sfidavits that his denial
of his own identity was not extOrted from
him by threats and that no pistols were
pointed at his head, but that la made his
Montreal smdsViE freely and suggested it
himself, protesting the greatest Indignation
at the man who had p%ersonifed him at
Washington. 1t is also made out that the
plan for blowing up the Croton dam was
first preached by OOnOver in q letter TO
Jacob Thompson in March, three months
after Conover swore tina he had talked it
over with Thompson and the latter sp-
proved it; that Thompson denounced Con-
over as a fool to the man who brought the
letter, and would have nothing to do with
his scheme.

NORTH MADISON, LAKE Co a.,

February Oath, 1864.
DEAR SILL take much pleasure in
informing you that my daughter is much
better of her deafness under your treat
ment. She had the scarlet fever when ave
years of age, which lett her hearing sefI
ously impaired, which seemed also 20 be
settling down into permanent, and, as we
much feared, perfect and incursble deaf
ness. l.
We were not q little fearful and unbe-
lieVing in any efforts to cure the case, hav-
ing previously applied to other physicians
without success. But under your treat
ment we soon found evidence of decided
improvement. The offensive discharge
soon changed and indicated q healthy
healing process. We are yet making use
of your prescription, and we hope you will
not fail to visit these parts again soon, as
several of my friends are anxious to see
the good Samaritan, that they may obtain
8 little of the oil of consolation for them
selves. Respectfully yours,
