DR. LIGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Under dste
of March Ia, l sent you a careful statement
OF my case, my former treatment, nv fail
ure to obtain relief In that direction, nv
resort TO your treatment and its beneficial
results.
u have been, from the winter ofthe wear
1874, subject TO violent periodical attacks
Of catsrrh, marked by febrile syptoms, yio-
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
Of the cavities of the head, accompanied in
the first stages by a watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently, becoming acrid and
yellow and towards the close of the ATTACH
purient and bloody. These attacks pr a.

ache, occurring periodically each day for a
period varying from n to three vgeeks
sometimes so violent as to incspaciIte ma

ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of 30 much strength as 70 leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstances l was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncurability
OF the disease, to make q trial of YOUR
treatment l found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease as Il had
never been reached before, and ~alleyiating
its symptoms TO an extent which 1 had
supposed impossible. At the time when I
gave you my former certificate while /
did not feel assured Of 8 complete cure. I
had obtained q materialrelief which amply
repaid me for nay trial of your treatment.
and which satisfied me that that treatment |
was as effective ss it was simple and philo-
sophlcaL. A substantial escape from nv
old attacks of catarrh, for the almost -un-
precedented period of nearly half q wear.
and that in spite Of severe attacks Of III
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was, to me,
proof Of an Important success. 1t is now
six months since / sent you that statement
and. while it is unpleasant for me 10 appear |
constantly, and In this guise, before
the public, it seems to me Q matter Of sim
pie justice TO yourself and TO those whe
may be suffering as / was, to add that I
am not only as fully satisfied as TO the utl-
ty and efficacy Of your treatment of ca
as I was six months ago, but 1 am
now of the belief that if there is such a
hing as a cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, IN
my case q substantial cure has BEN effect.
