Our Method OF Curing
Catarrh.

By the system of treatment which we
have originated and pursued for years
with uniform success, a complete and per-
manent cure of this repulsive disorder can
be effected. This we have demonstrated
in thousands of cases, representing the dis
ease in every form and in all its various
stages of development. Our applications
are made to reach the diseased parts in
the most direct and positive manner. in
simultaneously penetrating every cell and
cavity of the head Communicating with
the nostrils, and subjecting every portion
of the affected membrane to the healing
action of the remedy employed with the
most beneficial results
In this manner we have treated the
most obstinate cases of Catarrh with COM
plete success, after all other attempts had
failed The following are the distinguish
ing features of our method of practice
l. A single application gives immediate
comfort, and relieves at once the most dis
tressing and painful symptoms.
>. The hardened secretions are softened
and removed, causing the greatest amount
Of relief to the sufferer
8. The liberated surface is deodorized,
every unpleasant smell is removed, and
the breath is restored to its natural sweet
ness and purity.
/. The poisonous action of the disease
upon the throat IS neutralized and arrest
ed, threatened consumption ayerted, and,
last Of all, a complete and radical cure Is
fully established.
5. The applications do not cause the
least pain or distress, and do not interfere
with diet or business.
In all cases of Catarrh where the sys-
TEN suffers from the deleterious effects Of
scrofula or other vitiated condition of the
blood, the local treatment is invariably
conjoined with constitutional remedies.
While, ia such cases, the former is applied
to correct the unhealthy local action and
to heal the inhamed and liberated surface,
the latter is employed to apply the axe to
the root Of the cause from which the local
disease has grown.

CHRONIC DISEASES.

Drs. Lighthill & Smyth have for year.
paid exclusive attention to the cure Of
these diseases, and have been successful,
in restoring to health, patients who for
years have suffered from chronic ailmenta
and who have applied to other Physicians
without obtaining any relief
Their treatment IS reduced to such
state Of simplicity and perfection that
after the first examination, the remedies
can be applied at home, without pain or
interruption to their several avocations.
On the first examination, they can tell
whether a cure can be effected or not and
under no consideration viii they accept ,
case for treatment unless there is reason

4 candid opinion will invariably be
given, and no case will be accepted for
treatment which does not offer a reasona-

course of treatment, but the applications
can be made at home with perfect success

The PneuIuOkOniOn.

Another triumph in medical science has been achieved by
Drs LIeHTHnL and S2rrH in the invention of a valuable
apparatus known the Pneumokonion or Medcated Air
Condenser BY the aid of this instrument may be
densed and indicated forced the nnutes raifc

lnbored with without producing any substantial benefit
brought under medical control and many diseases which
have baed the best medical skill radically cured The

the composition of the blood yielding results immediate
and permanent
The and value OF the Pneumokonion is well illus

opened and meeated and she could breathe with her whole
lungs again Under this treatment she entirely and per
