II feel that owe debt Of gratitude to the
gentleman aud physician whose lame introduces
this article I regard him as ono OF tue few

For about one year had been suffering from
affection OF the tnroat, which ut first al an

which consider ed dangerous. Tue voice grew
rough and husky, the palate and mucous lining
Of the throat became inhanled, and ut times
painful, md feared at one time that would
be compelled to cc4so speaking in public. Rem
edies were tticd, some OF which gave partial
aud temporary relief, while others did not
seem to ,tlueuce the disease in the least. When

an entire aud, think, permanent cure WAS ef-
fected in the short space Of three months. My

the most vigorous robust health. Several OF
