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 chill to perfect health Encouraged by
this extraordinary result she sought advice herself
for the scrofulous maady 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 en-
joy life, which, after eight years, had lost all
charms TO her. She therefore deems II due TO her
self and to all sick and afflicted. to recommend Dr..
Czapkay as of the most skillful physicians in

lies in his power, the bodily suffering. Humun ma

OF all the ills that affect man, none are more ter
rble than those of n private nature. Dreadful as
il is in the person who contracts it, frghtiul as are
its ravages upon his constitution, ending frequently
in destruction and loathsome grave it becomes OF
still greater importance when it is transmitted to
innocent offtpring. Such being the case how ne
cessarv Z becomes that every one having reason to
fear that they have contracted the disease, should
attend to it at once by consulting some physician
whose respcctability and education enables MN 10

upon to state that. by long study and extensive
pract ce he has become perfect master OF all those
diseases which come under the denomination oil We
