DR. LIaBFHILL-DeGr Sir: Under date
of March IA, I sent you 8 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.
1 have been, from the winter ofthe year
1874, subjsct to violent periodical attacks
OF catsrrh, marked by febrile syptOms, VIC
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
of the cavities of the head, accompaniment
the first stages by q Watery discharge from
the nose, subsequently becoming acrid and
yellow and towards the close OF tho attack
purient and bloody. These attacks pro-
dueed q most distressing species of head
ache, occurring periodically each day for q
period varying from one 70 three weeks,
sometimes 80 violent as to ~incapaciate me
for business, and conlns me 70 my bed. At
times the attendant Inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce toothache, or
TO the throat, occssiOning h~earseness and
par sIAI IUzs Uf- voices ana Twice within the
last few years it hiss 30 affected the right
eye as TO confne me for weeks TO q dark
ened room
had tried medicines and applications
of various kinds; snuffs and other catarrh-
al preparations o fsome half q dozen kinds
applications TO the head Of csmphoE,
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and cathartics employed to
induce counter action. But none of these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief was afforded, il was at the
expense of so much strength IS to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstsDces 1 was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed i~ncursbility
of the disease, 70 make 3 trial of your
treatment. 1 found it soon beyond even
my hopes, reaching the disease as 1t had
never been reached before, and alleviating
its symptoms TO an extent which / had
supposed impossible. At the time when
gave you my former certificate, while /
did not feel assured of g complete cure I
had obtained smEteriAlrelief which amply
repaid me for nay 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 nv
old sttacks Of catarrh, for the almost IN.
precedented period of nearly half 8 year
and that in spite of severe attacks Of III
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such an occurrence inevitable WAS TO ne,
proof of an important success. Il Is now
six months since 1 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 . MISTER Of sim
pie justice to yourself and to those whe
may be suffering as I was, to add that 1
am not only as fully satisfied as to the utl-
ity and efficacy Of your treatment Of Ca
tarrh as was. six months ago, but I am
now of the belief that if there Is such q
thing a 8 cure for CHRONIC OXTKRRH in
my case 9 substantial cure has beJn effect
