Dr.. LlGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Under date
of March IA, 1 sent you a careful statement
of my case, my former treatment, my fall
ure TO obtain relief IN that direction, my
resort 10 your treatment and its beneficial
results.
have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catarrh, marked by febrile syptoms, vio-
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
of the cavities of the head, accompaniment
the first stages by 9 watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming acrid 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 each day for a
period varying from n to three weeks,
sometimes so violent as to incspaciste me
for business, and confine me TO my bed. at
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend TO the teeth, produce toothsche, or
to the throat, o~ccssioning hearseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
last few years it has 30 affected the right
eve as to confne me for weeks to q dark
ened room.
had tried medicines and applications
OF VARIOUS kinds; snu1ts and other catarrh-
al preparations of some half 8 dozen kinds /;
applications to the head of camphor,
/ ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and csthsrtics employed TO
induce counter sction. But none OF these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense of 80 much strength as to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstances I was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed ~incurability
of the disease, TO make q trial of your
treatment. 1 found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease as It had
never been reached before, and allevisting
its symptoms to an extent which l had
supposed impossible. AT the time when l
gave you my former certificate, while l
did not feel assured Of 9 complete cure, l
had obtained q materialr relief which amply
repaid 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 i'll
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable, was TO me,
proof of an important success. It is now
six months since I 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 g matter of SIM
pie Justice TO yourself and to those whe
may be suffering as / was, to add that ]
am not only as fully satisfied as to the util-
ity and efficacy of your treatment of CO.
tsrrh IS I was six months ago, but I am
now of the belief that if there is such q
thing as a cure for CHRONIC CATARRH, in
my case a substantial cure has be1n effect
