DR. LIdHTHILL-DeGr Sir Under date
of March IA sent you careful statement
of my ease my former treatment my fail
ure to obtain relief in that direction, my
resort 70 your treatment and its beneficial
results. -....
have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject TO violent periodical attacks
of catsFrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining men,
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by wstery dis
charge from the nose subsequently, becom-
ing scrid 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 30 violent as to incapac-
itate me for business, and confine me to
my. bed. At times the attendant infam-
nation would extend TO the teeth, pro-
ducing toothsche, or to the throat, OCCASION
ing hOarseness and partial loss of voice
and twice within the last few years it has
so affected the right eye as to eonfne me
for weeks to darkened room,
l had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs sndother catarrhal
preparations of some half dozen kinds;
applications to the head of csmphor, ginger
and hot fomentatioA of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and csthsrtics employed to induce
counter action. But none of these had
produced any permanent Improvements
and in the few instances in which tempo
raj relief was afforded, it was at the ex-
pense of so m1ch strength as to.leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum.
stances WAS led, though with some re-
luctance, from the supposed incutability of
the disease, TO make s trial of your treat
ment. l found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been resched before, and Ailevisting its
symptoms to an extent which had sup
posed impossible. At the time when l
gave you my former certificate, while did
not feel assured of complete cure, 1 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 itwas simple and philO-
sophlcsl. A substantial escape from my
old attacks of catarrh, for the almost un-
precedented period OF nearly hall year, |
and that in spite of severe attacks of ILL., |
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such sn occurrence inevitable, was, TO me,
proof of an important success. 1t is now
Tx months since I sent you that statement
md while it is unpleasant for me to appear
.hus constantly, and In this guise, before
he public, it seams to me 8 matter of sim
pie justice to yourself and to those who
nay be suffering IS I was, to add that I
Im not only as fully satisfied as to the util-
ty and efficacy of your treatment of ca
arrh a. was six months ago but lam
low of the belief that if there is such q
hing as cure tor CHRONIC CATARRH, in
nv case substantial cure has been eff
ected. FREDERICK s. JEWELL,
