CYPHILIS AND GoNoRRHGA-Dr l.. J. Czapkay
- would ask especial attention to syphilitic and
gonorrhGal diseases. In the first stages of these
complaints he guarantees perfect and efeetua
cure in few days without hindrance to business or
the slightest Inconvenience The Doctors rnethod
of treating them combines all the latest improve
ments by the medical faculty, with discoveries made
by himself more effective than anything yet known
which secures the patient from the possibility of sec
ondary symptoms and removes the disease in the
shortest possible time.
Secondary syphilis which appears in consequence
of the absorption of the poison into the system, and
produces BubGs, Ulcerations in the throat and nose
which destroy the soft parts and cause the bone to
mortify, separate and come away disfguring the
patient horribly. Nodes or painful swellings in the
bones; splotches upon the skin cases of which the
Doctor daily in his Office, and which are the re-
suit Of improper treatment. Also ulcers, resand
pmpes and injuries to the constitution, which af-
ter long period of suffering destroy life. 1t will
also be remembered that these disorders are heredit-
ary, passing from parent to child, and eptailing
upon the offspring ruined constitution. For the
of all these forms of diseases the doctor guar
antees cure or asks no compensation.
The Doctor can be consulted by letter or other
wise free of charge, and invites all who are aict-
ed to call upon him, where he will give them such
satisfaction as they can obtain nowhere else. His
rooms are Nos. and 2, Armory Hall, corner of
Sacramento and Montgomery streets. San Fran

SPERMATORRHGA, or LocAI.WEAKNEss.-Dr
- CZAPKAY, late lecturer on Diseases of women
and children, and chief Surgeon of the Military
Hospital of Pesth, Hungary, would call public at
tention to spermatorrhGa or local weakness There
to be deprecated than this well because of pres
ent distress, as the ultimate results The tone of
the system under its deteriorating influence is
either impaired or entirely destroyed, and class
of symptoms superinduced that units man for the
performance of any Of the ordinary duties Of life
The injuries done to the physical part of man are
truly amentable, but trlfling when compared to
those OF the eensorium, the great nervous centre,
and to the great nervous system generally. This
disease which is too often consequent upon that SOL
itary vice, sel-abuse, involves pathological cond-
tions beyond the comprehension of the unintiated
but which are well understood by the regular prac
titioner. Among the symptoms most conspicuous
are the following Love OF solitude, aversion to
business and society, distressing timidity nervous
excitement from light causes loss of memory con-
fusion of ideas, inability to reason, correctly low
spirits and lassitude, dulness of apprehension and
misanthropy. These being functional derange-
ments. are often the harbingers of horrid organic
lessons Of the brain, which produces faulty, demen
tia and death.
For the cure of this and all kindred of diseases.
Ut. Czapkay has established his Institute, where all
map rely with perfect confidence upon that skill
which long experience and thorough devotion to
his profession has given. Those who suffer should
call without delay, and use the means by which they
may recuperate and live All consultation, by let

of treatment of my case while prescribing for me.

small token of my thankfulness and esteem, you
have been the means of SAVING my fJe, and restor-

of again enjoying. i had for long time tour

scourge of young people, seminal weakness or noe
turnal emissions, which so weakened me both body
and mind that was obliged to give up mining al
together, | consulted one of the best physicians
$50 calletD in the mountain districts, and after
careful examination of my case, he gave me medi-
cines. / continued under his treatment for three
months without receiving any benefit, in fact grew
worse from week to week. until at last got discour
aged and asked him for his opinion. told him not
to fear to tell me the whole truth, for should rath-
know the worst at once. than to live in suspense
| had lost about thirty pounds of flesh, and knew
that he at least could not cure me, and as j was
then going ON. death must count me as one OF
its victims. This physician then told me that my
case was ncurable; that had better not take any
more medicines. He said was in decline, which
was fastitending to pulmonary consumption.
| then .despaired of obtaining any relief, and saw
that unless something was done to mitigate the COM
plaint that should be numbered with the dead, or
what is worse, be a raving maniac. Happening to
see one of your books, the Pocket Esculapius, /
made up my mind at once to call and consult you
with the determination of trying once more to get
relief if you would undertake the case. Oh, how
thankful am for this determination ! commenc-
ed taking the medicines prescribed by you, and i
am now, through their healing powers restored to
perfect health. | shall not fail to recommend you |

lowing: A lady of high standing in society, and
great responsibility, published card in the Phil
adelphia Sunday Dispatch, September l4th, 1851.
which is as follows:
"A CARD.--The undersigned feels ii her duty
to express her heartfelt gratitude to DIR. Czapkay
for the successful cure of herself and child. The
latter, having been afflicted by severe attack of
Cholera lnfantum' was given up as incurable by
some of the most celebrated physicians, when she
called on Dr. Czapkay-of whom she heard very fa-
vorable 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 withstood the
treatment Of the best physicians in Europe and
America. But DR.. Czapkay has succeeded in affor-
ding her permanent relief, so that she can now en-
joy life, which, after eight years. had lost all
charms 10 her. She therefore deems il due to her
self and to all sick and afflicted, to recommend Dr.
Czapkay as one CT the most skilful physicians in
the United States:

IMPORTANT TO MINERS, TRAVELLERS. ETC.-There
| is no maady of deeper importance, either in a
medical ormoral point of view, to which the hui
man family is more liable than that arising from
impure connection.
As medical NAM itis the duty of every physi-
clan to look at disease as il affects health and life,
and his sole object should be to mitigate ar far as
lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Hhmun ma
ture at best is but fra all are liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man, none are more ter.
ribIe than those of private nature. Dreadful as
il in the person who contracts it, frightful as are
it's ravapes upon his constitution ending frequently
indestruction and loathsome grave, it becomes OF
still greater Importance when 1t is transmitted 10
innocent offspring, Such being the case now ne
cessarv it becomes that every one having reason TO
feaT-that they have contracted the disease, should
attend to II at once by consulting some physician,
whose responsibility and education enables MN TO
warrant safe, speedy, and permanent cure. ihar-
cordance with this necessity, Dr. Young feelseaiied
upon to state that by long study and extensive
practice he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination OF ve-
nereal and having paid more attention to that one
branch than any other physician in the United States
he feels himself better qualified to treat them.
Syphilis in all its forms, such as ulcers, swelling

to him as the most common things of daily observa

The Doctor effects cure in recent cases in few
DAYS and finds no difficulty in curing those of long
duration without submitting the patient to such
treatment as will draw upon him the slightest sus
picon or oblige him to neglect his business wheth

changed, except in cases of severe Inflammation

two thousand in the past year, that could furnish
