NEW HAVEN, July g. It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. LighthiH and the successful results of his treatment For the past thirty six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lghthills pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by der his care, and happily I did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com- plaint and all it's attendant troubles, and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthil1's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but feel like discharging duty to the afflicted in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. Lighthill's efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical pxactice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnin will con- vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is master of his profession.

MORE EVIDENCE ! s7z
Of the Success of pr. Light hills Practice in New
 Haven.
In the Treatment of Deafness, Catarrh. and Diseases of the
 Throat and Lungs.
From MT. J. HI. MeIaffey,

S67 AtWater Street.
 NEW HAVEN, August 20, 1880.
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. LighthiI's skill and success to that of Mr. Cox and others, as have every reason to speak in terms of the highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf. When 8 month ago applied to him for relief was great sufferer. A catarrh which had af- ficted me for some time past, recently be- came so aggravated that it impaired my hear ing and gave rise to such agonizing pain and distress in my head that it nearly drove me insane. In fact, such a result could scarcely have been otherwise if Dr. Iighthin had not afforded me such marvelously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when I left his office I was in a condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like a new man. Ever since then steady i'm provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Lighthill's skillful management. The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and troublesome cough, which se- riously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone. My whole system, in fact, has been so much benefited that all my acquaintances notice the favorable change. Like many oth- CTS, l had spent much money and time in fruitless efforts to obtain relief before I ap- piled to Dr. Lighthill, and I can therefore recommend the doctor with the confidence of a long experience. I am an employe of the Boston and Air Line Railroad Company, and reside at 267 Atwater street, and will cheer fully substantiate in person what I have here put in writing. J. H. MEHAFFEY.

For upward of twenty-fv years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and'Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonable pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riably be given as to the possibilities of a cure, and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under Dr. Lighthil's professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

 SIR-I have seen in the papers, on the au- thority of Senator Wallace, statement to the effect thatif General Hancock should be elect edUnion soldiers would receive preference in the distribution of federal offices here in Washington and throughout the country, also such as are now in Government positions would not be removed except for cause other than political. It is said that disabled Union soldiers especially would in no case be remov- ed except for incapacity ca neglect of duty
 If Union soldiers could be authoritatively assured of this, the vote of General Hancock would doubtless be decidedly increased there by among them and their friends. Can you, in your official capacity as chairman of the National Democratic committee, give such assurance, or induce General Hancock to do SO?
 An early reply will very greatly oblige many soldier admirers of General Hancock, among whom allow me to subscribe myself

 Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn.
 It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthill's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben eficial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hav- ing at their command the services of phy- sician so skillful as Dr. Lighthi1 in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh.

 Weary and breathless we all at last reached the crowning goal perched like birds upon an island floating in mid-air while the grand panorama stretched completely around us Off in the far distance we could trace the faint outline of the White Mountain chain, while nearer lay innumarable smaller ranges lovingly dove-tailed together, with peaceful villages dotting their hillsides and hiding in the vales beneath. The white feecy clouds chased each other as the sunshine played ''bo- peep" between, and a dreamy, hazy atmos- phere mellowed the entire landscape into the softest painting. I watched that light and shade come and go-creeping OCT the moun- tain plains, resting cold and deep upon the valleys and I thought how long and dark that cloud must seem to them, while could see the sunshine coming close behind, and knew it would seem all the brighter for the cloud they had just passed through And so ife's shadows full of sadness Seen by Him who reigns above, Soon may change to smiles of gladness For His dealings all are love- Picking up our mountain staffs, we bid a long adieu to old "Grey Lock's'' hoary head and downward traced our rocky path again. culling ferns and fowerets by the way and drinking from the springs until we reached our wagons, much sooner than we expected, without the slightest accident, and little fa- tigued, and merrily came rolling home, in the light of bright full moon.
