GRATITUDE rs THE

COMPLETION OF T,H4NrRFULNESS.
rINIIE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is sc
L 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 philanthropic devotion to the alleviatior
of the ills of frail mortality. Empiricism floods
the columns of our press with fraudulent and lct
tous letters, singing peans to the worth of theii
own egotstical charlatanism. Below we append Q
letter from worthy man who, brief period since
seemed destined to shuttle off this mortal COLL who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down 10y the heavy
hand of disease can Contrary to hope, the ability
of a skilful physician has restored him to his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation
and impelled by gratitude he makes known his
case and remedial agent and his statement is au-
1 thenticated by Notary Public. The demands OF
society imperiously command its publicity, and it
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician of whom scores of like cases
can be cited:
CERTIFICATE
The undersigned desrous of acquanting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be sim
! arly afflicted where permanent relief of
their suferings may be obtained, feels it his duty
TO thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude
to Dr. l.. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery of
| his health. Borne down by the distressing symp-
toms incident TO the vicious practice of uncon-
trollahle passion in youth; depressed in body and
mind, unable to perform even the most triing duty
imposed upon the daily avocations Of life; |
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
regarded my disease as of trifing importance but
alasl after q few weeks. and in several instances
months of their treatment, | found to my unutter-
able horror that instead of relief, the symptoms
became alarming in their torture; and, being told
/ by one that my disease. being principally confined
/ TO the brain, mecines wouls 9lblittle conse ddo
/ quence, | despaired Of ever regaining my health,
strength and energy; and a last resort and with
but faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay, who af-
ter examining my case prescribed some medicine
which almost instantly relieved me 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 became clear. my
ideas collected, the constant pain in my back and
groins, the weakness of my limbs the nervous re-
action of my whole body on the slightest alarm or
exctement the msanthropy and evil forebodings
the incapability to study and want of resolutions
the irightful, exciting and at times pleasurable
dreams at night followed by involuntary dis
charges, have all disappeared; and in fact in two
months after having consulted the Doctor | felt as
if inspired by new lfe-that life which, but a
short time ago, / contemplated to end by my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares of incompetent quaeks, deem
my duty to offer this testimony to the merit and
skill of DR.. Czapkay and recommend him TO all
who are in need of medical advice, being assured
by my experience, that once under his care radi-
cal and permanent cure will be effected.
