CURE OF CATARRH
From Rev. Fred. s. Jewell, Professor oI State Normal School Albany. N. Y

SLaIS NOImal SCHOOL, Albany, N. x. This may certify that I have been, sine, lo44, subject tn violent periodical attacks ot caealrh, marked by d highly infamed condi. ton ot the lining mem hlanes of the cavities vf the head, producing q most distressing speciys Of headache for days at Il time, wholly incapac. itating me for business, and during the parux. ysms coniining me to the bed. In some ih: stances the inii,.mation has extended to the teeth, occasi"hing toUthuehe to the thruat, producing hoarseness and partial loss of voice and twice ii las SD affected the left eye as ts, c0niine mt for a month or more to darken. l ed room. These attacks have been accumpar. jed by strong fcbrie symptoms by stoppage "i the head. and, in the first stages, by watery discharges from the nose. subsequently, becum. ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close of the attack beromng bloody and purulent. 1 have tried medicines of almost every kind {: external applications to the heal such as cam phor, ginger, hot bantlages. and lamentations of hot vinegar snuifs of some half dozen kinds, and other catarrhal preparations, to. gether with internal remedies. such as alters tives, cathartics, and cosmetics. These have produced no chang@ in the occurrence or char4 acter of tlse disease, and, in most cases, with I li+tio or no temporary relief. had come At length. to believe the disease to be practicGlly beyond either cure of material alletiation ' | Under these circumstances I was led. Roln8 five months ago, to make a trial of Dr. Lighth ills treatment His method at once ap, royed itself to my judgment as simple philosophical, and likely to be effective. N0twithstandiIk the disadvantages under which it laborsd, In dealing with a disease of such long stkndine, aggravated Ky nervous debility and dyspepsia, and constantly induced by the accidents of niy professional labor, found the treatment reach, ing the disease as it Had never been reached before, and producing such q modification and alleriation of its character, as l had supposed
 impossible. chr"nicle the reauIts thus. AL though have been situated several times 60 that should formerly have believed severe attack of my catarrh inevitable, I have es, capped thus far. The symptoms of threatehed attack have been very light. and have Yielded 10 the remedies applied by Dr Lighthili, 1ithA out need of recoulsc to the old feYmentatioiis, or enetics and the discharges from the ht sd have resumed the original and natural condi. tiou. lhatI have been able to obtain so ma. tcrial a relief, IS to me cause of gratitude. In that alone am repaid for whatever the ea. pertinent may have cost me.
 1 make this statement unsolicited, as means of acknowledging my obligation to Df. Lighthill's method ot treating catarrli, and with view to aid any one who may have sui. Tered frbm tlIat disease, if fotinlng just opin. ion ofits merits, and its probable dtility ih their own case (Signed)

From Rev. JOHN MOTT. D. D.. PsofSs sor in Union College, Schenectady.s

sor in Union College. Schsneetady.' Since first publicly acknowledged the great benefit which received from the skillful treat ment of Dr. Lighthill. in regard to my hearing. letters of inquiry have necessarily poured up- l on me from all parts of the country from par. ties desiring to learn the particulars of my case and am indeed surprised at the mum Der of indivi,lual: who are affected similar to ths manner in which 1 have been, and therefofs feel it more and more sacred duty which owe to those sufferers, to direct them to proper ana reliable source to obtain the bene. it they so much tovst. and which 50 many afflicted ones have hitherto sought in vain: | just as I had done previous to applying to Dr. | Lghtl,iif.
 | had bad from infancy one very deaf ett which always discharged more or less offens:ve matter, and was the source o1 the greatest an- noyance and dscomfoit to me. Last year the oth, car also became diseased, and both sats dscba,gea yellow matter, very profuse and highly offensive. My hearing became very much imp cd and the tiecliarge produced the greatest debility of body and depression of spirits. Iaplslied 10 my family fhysidiah ana other practitioners without deriving any ben eft, and almost despaired of being restored to 1 health. when providentially. l applied to Dr. l Lighthili. Under this treatment my ears be. l gan to improve at once. and continued to do 50, until. in a comparative ,shorts time,, both ears were healed, the eischarEe, teingveds and my hearing restored. At first feared the cure
 would not be permanent or that the stoppage of discharges of 50 l. ng standing might prove
 detrimental to my general health, a fear
 which I tind g, eat many entertain in regard to the emoval of discharge from the ear. My
 experience. however. has proved, epnclusiyely that my apprehensions were entirely ground. less in both respects for both ears afe as veil,
 and my hearing as good at present as the day | I left of treatment. and tl,e stYpfAges of the
 discharge. instead of proving deffihrfithl "a
 my health. has given nie the highest elasticity and vigor of body and fi,tw of spirits not ex. perienced for q long time previous. es
