Washington. d.. November II, 1890.
For over thirty years was seriously troubled and
annoyed from profuse discharge from my left ear.
and although greatly inconvenienced by the Deafness
yet cared nothing for that in comparison with the
exceedingly offensive nature of this continuous dis
charge.
Physicians who examined my ear pronounced IT in
eurabs some feared that the soppaes of this long
sting dow might prove detrimental to my health or
even endanser my life ITSELF but seeing statement
from Mr.. T. z. Roessle. proprietor Of the Ar

TO that physician for relief. and am happy to state
that in about three months time DR.. Iighthill sue
