ITO THE LADIES OF CALIFoRNIA.-Dr L.

FVNO THE LADIES OF CALIFORNIA.-Dr l..
i J. Czapky, NJ. d., Physician, Surgeon and Ac-
couchour invites the attention of the sick and af-
fllced females laboring under any of the various
forms of diseases of the brain, lungs heart, som-
ach, liver, womb blood. kidneys and all diseases
peculiar to their SEX The Doctor is efccting more
than any other Physician in the State of Cali
fornia. Let no false delicacy prevent you but APP
ply Immediately, and save yourselves from painful
sutlerings and premature death. All married la
dies, whose delicate health or other circumstances
do not allow to have an increase in their families,
should call at DR. l.. J. Czapkays Medical Institute,
Armory Hall, corner of Sacramento and Nontgom-
cry streets, and they will receive every possible re-
lief and help. The Doctors Offices are so arranged
that he be consulted without the fear of molcs-
tation If desired Dr. C. will visit the ladies at
their residence.
The attention of the reader is called to the fol-
lowing: A lady of high standing in society, and
great respectability, published card in the Phil
adephia Sunday Dispatch, September I4th, 1851,
which is as follows:
"A CARD.-The undersigned. feels it her duty
to express her heartfelt gratitude to DR.. Czapkay.
for the successful cure of herself and child. The
latter, having been afflicted by severe attack Of
Cholera lniantum was given up as incurabe by
some of the most celebrated physicians, when she
called on Dr. Czapkay-of whom she heard very fa-
vorahle report and who after short period resto-
red the child to perfect health. Encouraged by
this extraordinary result, she sought advice herself
for the scrofulous malady with which she had been
afflicted for eight years, and which wthstood the
treatment of the best physicians in Europe and
America. But DR.. Czapkay has succeeded in ailor-
ding her permanent relief so that she can now en-
joy life. which. after eight years, had lost all
charms to her. She therefore deems it due to her
self and to all sick and afflicted, to recommend DR..
Czapkay as one of the most skillul physicians in
the United States.
