FROM THE REY. FRED. s. JEWELL,
Professor Of the State y ormal School,
Albany n. Z,
DR.. LdGHTHILL-Dear Sir Under date
of March 25, sent you careful statement
Of my case, lis former treatment, my fail
ure to obtain relief in that direction, my
resort to your treatment and benieial re-
suits.
I have been from the winter Of 1874, sub
iect to violent periodical attacks Of Ca
tarrh, marked by strong ard febrile symp-
toms, violent inflammation of the lining men,
brane Of the cavities Of the head, accom-
panied, 10 the first stage, by watery dis
charge from the nose, subsequently, be-
coming scrid and yellow, and towards the
close Of the attack puruient and bloody.
These attacks produced distressing spec
| les of headache, occurring periodically each
day varying from one to three weeks, some
times SO violent as to incapacitate me for
business and coufne me 10 my bed. At
times The attendant Inflammation would ex-
tend to the teeth, producing toothaehe; or
TO the throat occasioniDg hoarseness and
partial loss of voice and twice within the
last few years it has so affected the left eye
as to coufne me for weeks to darkened
room.
| have tried medicines and applications
of various kinds suuffs and other catarrhal
preparations Of some half dozen kinds ap-
p3icalions to the bead of camphor, ginger,
and hot lamentations OF different kinds
and in connection with these the usual
emetios or cathartics employed 10 induce
the connter-action. But none of these bad
! produced any permanent improvement, aud
/ in few instances in which temporary re-
/ lief was afforded, If vas at the expense o
SO much strength as to leave me utterly ex-
hausted. Under these circumstances / was
led, though with great reluctance, from
The supposed ineurability Of the disease, to
make trial Of your treatment. / found
il soon, even beyond my hopes, reaching
the disease as it had never been reached
before, and alleviating its symptoms 10 an
extent which bad supposed impossible.
| At the time gave you my former certii-
/ cate, while 1 did not feel sure Of COM
! plete cure, bad obtained a material relief
4 which amply repaid me for my trial Of your
/ treatment and which satisfied me that the
/ treatment was as effective as it was simple
and philosophical A substantial escape
from my attacks Of calarrb, for the unpre-
Cedented period Of nearly half a year, and
that in spite OF severe occurrences of illness
which wOuld have formally rendered such
an attack inevitable, was to me, proof of
an important success. II is now six
months since I sent you that statement, and
while it is unpleasant 10 me to appear thus
constantly, and 10 this guise Ueiore the
/ public, it seems to me a matter Of simple
justice to yourself, aud to those who may
be suffering as ] was, to add that am not
only as fully satisfied as to the utility and
efficacy Of your method Of treating catarrh
as was six months ago, but now l am
Of the belief that iftbere is such thing as
q cure tor chronic cstaFrh, in my case
substantial cure has been effected.
Very respectfully,
! ..s FREDERICK S. JEWELL. q
