Messr8. Pigue, Manier & Hall, Nashville
Tenn:
GENTLEMEN: DR.. LIeHTHILL expects e
visit your city soon, and for the benefit o.
the suffering l wish to say, through you
to your very extensive acquaintance in
this and other Southern States that DR..
Lighthill can do all for the suffering that
can be afforded bv skill. science and a
comprehensive experience.
Indeed, DIR. Llghthill performs some
almost miraculous cures. One case for in
stance. Iplaced under his treatment, over
two years since, my niece, Miss Eliza
Mitchum, of McLemoresvilIe, Tenn. She
had been suffering from a child with a
rising in the head, which had for years
emitted through the ear very ugly and
offensive corruption. Her case had been
treated by the best physicians of the coun-
try and had bsftied the skill all. DR..
Lighthill kept her under his immediate
charge for ten days and then sent her home
with remedies. She used the remedies az
directed and in three months was entirely
well and still continues in excellent health
1t may be proper to state that when Miss
Mitchum went under DR.. Lighthill's treat
ment she was unable to walk and, as her
friends thought, was rapidly approaching
death.
If you have any friends among your ex-
tensive acquaintance suffering with any
chronic disease you may safely recommend
tn I'm to DR.. Lighthill.
Yours, very respectfully,
E, A. COLLINS

guns TO what he called the elements, take
aim, and shoot. A part fired and the rest
rested at "aim," without firing. The
