A Testimonial Richly Merited.--The ingratitude
of man to his fellow is often met with in life that
testimonials prompted by the finer feelings Of the heart
are oasis in the life of those who sacrifice their best days
in phautbropc devotion the aevation of the ills of
frail mortality Empiricism floods the columns of our
press with fraudulent and fictitious letters singing peans
to the worth of their egotiscal charatanism Below
we append letter from worthy man, who brief period
since seemed destined to 'shule off this mortal coil
who looked forward to his dissolution with that pleasure
which only those weighed down by the heavy hand dis
ease Contrary to hope, the ability of skillfu ply
scian has restored him to his former health. Relieved
from his terrible situation and impeled by gratitude, he
makes known his and remedial agent and his state
ment is authenticated by Notary Public The demands
of society imperiousy command its publicity and it is
given more to the unway than to sound the praises

CERTIFICATE
The undersigned desirous of acquaintng those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted where
permanent relief of their suferings may be obtained,
feels it his duty thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to Dr. L. j. Czapkay for the permanent recovery
of his health Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practice of uncomfortable passion
in youth depressed in body and mind, unable to perform
the most ring duty imposed upon the daily avoca-
tons of life sought the advice of many physicians who
at first regarded my disease OF ring mporance-but
alas after few weeks and in several instances months
of their treatment found to my unutterabe horror that
instead of relief the symptoms became alarming in
their torture; and being told by that my disease
being principally confined to the brain, medicines would
be Of little consequence, despared of reganng my
health, strength and energy and, as last resort and
with but faint hope called upon Dr. Czapkay, who, after
examining my case, prescribed medicine which
almost instantly relieved Of the dull pain and dizziness
in my head Encouraged by this result, | resolved to
place myself Immediately under his care and by strict
obedience to all his directions and advice, my head be-
clear my ideas collected the constant pain in my
back and grons, the weakness of my limbs the
reaction of my whole body the slightest alarm or ex-
citement the msanthropy and evil forebodngs the self
disrust and want of confidence in others the incapabty
to study and want Of resolution the frightul, exciting,
and at times peasurabe dreams at night followed by
voluntary discharges, have all disappeared and in fact
in two months after having consulted the Doctor felt
if inspired by ifethat life which, but short time
ago, contemplated to end by my own hand
With view to guard the unfortunate from falling into
the of incompetent quacks, deem it my duty to
offer this testimony to the merit and skill of DR.. Czapkay
and recommend him to all who may stand in need med
ical advice, being assured by my experience, that
under his radical and permanent will be
