Testimonial Richly Meritcd.--The ingratitude
of man to his fellow is often met with in life that
testimonials prompted by the finer feelings of the heart
oasis in the life of those who sacrifice their best DAYS
in phlanthropc devotion to the alienation of the ills of
frail mortality. Empiricsm floods the columns of our
press with fraudulent and fictitious letters singing peans
to the worth of their own egostica charlaansm Below
append letter from worthy man, who brief period
since, seemed destined to "shufe off this mortal coil
who looked forward to his dissolution with that pleasure
which only those weighed down by the heavy hand of dis
ease Contrary to hope the ability of skilfu ply
scan has restored him to his former health. Relieved
from his terrible situation, and mpeed by gratitude he
makes known his and remedial agent and his state
ment is authenticated 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 be cited
CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned desrous of acquainting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted where
permanent relief of their suferings may be obtained
feels his duty to thus publicly express his sincere
gratitude to Dr. L. j. Czapkay for the 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 trfng duty imposed upon the daily avoca-
tons of life sought the advice of many physicians who
first regarded my disease of rng mportance-b
alas after few weeks and in several instances months
of their treatment found to my unutterable 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
heatlh strength and energy and, last resort and
with but faint hope called upon DR.. Czapkay, who after
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, head be-
Clear my ideas collected the constant pain in my
back and groins the weakness of my limbs the
reaction of my whole body the slightest alarm
elements the msanthropy and evil forebodngs; the self
dstrust and want of confidence in others the incapabty
to study, and want of resolution the trighul exciting,
and at times peasurabe dreams at night followed by in
voluntary discharges, have all disappeared and in fact
in two months after having consulted the Doctor felt
inspired by iife-hat life which, but short time
ago contemplated to end by my 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 OF med
ical advice being assured by my experience, that
once under his radical and permanent will be
effected. b. +. FILLMORE.
