DR.. LIGHTHuL-DeGr Sir: Under date
of March IA sent you careful statement
of my case, my former treatment, my fall
ure to obtain relief in that direction, my
resort to your treatment and It's beneficial
results.
have been, from the winter of the year
1874, subject to violent periodical attacks
of oatsrrh, marked by febrile symptoms,
violent Inflammation of the lining mem
brsnes of the cavities Of the head, accom-
panied in the first stages by wstery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently becom-
ing acrid and yellow, and towards the close
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 as to incspsc-
itSte me for business, and confine me 10
my bed. At times the attendant inaSm-
nation would extend TO the teeth, pro-
ducing toothsche, or to the throat, OCCASION
ing hOsrseness and partial loss of voice /;
and twice within the last few years it has
so affected the right eye as to confne me
Tor weeks to dAFkened 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 tomentstioA Of different kinds;
and in connection with these the usual
emetics and cAtbartics employed to induce
counter action. But more of these had
produced any permanent improvement,
and Ii the Jew instances in which tempo
raj rslief was afforded, it was st the ex-
pense Of 80 much strength as to leave me
greatly exhausted. Under these circum-
stances was led, though with some re-
luctsnce, from the supposed incursbility of
the disease, to make trial Of your treat
ment. 1 found it soon beyond even my
hopes, reaching the disease as it had never
been reached before, and silevisting its
symptoms to an extent which l had sup
posed impossible. At the time when L
gave you my former certificate, while did
not feel assured of complete cure, had
obtained q maJerisl relief which amply
repaid me for my trial of you 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 cstarrh, 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 Occurrences inevitable, was, to me,
proof of an important success. 1t is now
SIX months since sent you thst statement
and while it is Unpleasant for me to sppear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
- = =
pie justice to yourself and TO those who
may be suffering as l was, to add that
am not only rs fully satisfied as to the util-
ity and efficacy of y, ur treatment of ca
tarrh as L was six months ago, but 1 am
now of the belief that if there is such a
thing ss cure tor CHRONIC OATARRH, in
my case substantial cure has been eff
fected. FREDERICK S. JEWELL
