DR.. LIGHTHIL-Dear Sir: Under date
Of March IA sent you 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. e.s. ..-.L.. .
have be6n, from the winter of the year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining mem
branes of the cavities of the head, accom-
panied in the fret stages by wstery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently, becom-
ing acrid and yellow, and towards the cloee
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 IS to incapac-
itate me for business, and confDe me to
my bed. At times the attendant inhsm-
nation would extend TO the teeth, pro-
ducing toothache, or 70 the throat, occasion
ing hOsrseness and partial loss of voice !;
and twice within the last few years 1t has
for weeks to dArkened room
l had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs andother 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 none of these had
produced any 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 l was led, though with come re-
luctance, from the supposed incurability of
the disease, TO make trial of your treat
ment. found It soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and sleYisIng its
symptoms TO an extent which l had sup
posed impossible. At the time when
gave you my former certificate, while did
not feel assured of complete cure, had
obtained 3 maEeriA relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you treatment
and which satisfied me that that treatment
was IS effective IS it wss simple and phllo-
sOphIcal. A substantial escape from my
old attacks of catarrh, for the almost un-
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
SIX months since sent you that statement
and while it is unpleasant for me to appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, it seems to me q matter of sim
pie justice to yourself and to those who
may be suffering as l was, to add that /
am not only as fully satisfied as TO the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment of ca
tarrh as 1 was six months ago, but am
now of the belief that if there is such
thing as cure for CHRoNIC CATARRH, in
my case q substantial cure has been ef-
fected. FREDERICK S. JEWELL
