Dr.. LlGHTHILL-Dear Sir: Under date
of March IA, 1 sent you careful statement
Of my case, my former treatment nv fail
ure to obtain relief IN that direction, nv
resort to your treatment and its beneficial
results.
l have been, from the winter ofthe year
1914, subject to violent periodical attacks
of catarrb, marked by febrile syptoms, vio-
lent Inflammation of the lining n embranes
Of the cavities of the head, ACCOMPANIED in
the first stages by q wstery discharge from
the nose, subsequently, becoming scrid 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 dsv for a
period varying from one TO three weeks.
sometimes so violent IS to incapaciste me
for business, and confine me to nv bed. Al
times the attendant inflammation would
extend to the teeth, produce t~oothache, or
TO the throat occasioning ~hoarseness and
partial loss of voice; and twice within the
last few years it has so affected the right
eye as to eonfne me for weeks TO q dark
ened room.

al preparations of some half a dozen kinds /;
applications TO the head of camphor.
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

temporal relief was afforded, it was at the
expense Of 30 much strength as TO leave
ME greatly exhausted. Under these cir
cumstsnces l was led, though with some
reluctance, from the supposed incurability
of the disease, to make q trial of your
treatment. l found It soon beyond sven
my hopes, reaching the disease as it had
never been reached before, and alleviating
its symptoms to an extent which 1 had
supposed impossible. At the time when I
gave you my former certificate, while L
did not feel assured of a complete cure, 1
had obtained q materialrelief 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.

old attacks of catsrrh, for the almost un-
precedsnted period of nearly half a year,
and that in spite of severe attacks Of i'll
ness, which would have formerly rendered
such IN occurrence inevitable, was, to me,
proof of an important success. 1t is now
six months since l sent you that statement
and while it is unpleasant for me 10 appear
thus constantly, and in this guise, before
the public, It seems TO me q matter of SIM

thing as a cure for CHRONIC CATAKsH, in
my case q substantial cure has BEN effect
