OF cstarrh, marked by fe6rila syptoms. vio.

of the cavities of the head, accompanied in,
the hrst stages by . Wstery discharge from

1 had tried medicines and applications
OF various kinds; snuffs and other catsrrb-
al preparations of some half 3 dozen kinds
applications to the head Of csmphor
ginger and hot fermentation of different
kinds; and in connection with these the
usual emetics and cathartics EMPLOYED 70
induce counter action. But none of these
had produced any permanent improve
ment, and in the few instances in which
temporal relief wa afforded, it was at the
expense Of so much strength as to leave
me greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstADces 1 was led, though with soma
reluctance, from the supposed ~incurabilitv
OF the disease, 10 make q trial of your
treatment. 1 found it soon beyond '
my hopes, reaching the disease as It had
never been reached before, and alleyiatinO
its symptoms to an extent which IlbaS
supposed impossible. At the time whenI
gave you my former certificate, while. /
did not feel assured of q complete cura i
had obtained materialrelief 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 nv
old attacks of catarrh, for the almost IN.
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, 70 me-
proof Of an important success. Il is now
six months since I sent you that statement
and while it is unpleasant for me 70 appear !
thus constantly, and in this guisa bsfore
public, it seems q me 9 matter of Sim
pie justice to yourself and to those who |
nay be suffering as / IRss, TO add that I
I'M not only a. fully satisfied as othe nil
ty and efficacy of your treatment of ca

low Of the belief that if there is u a
