COMPLETION or T'H4.NKFUL.NESS
TNIIE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
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 phllanthropic devotion to the alienation
of the ills of fra mortality Empircism Hoods
the columns of our press with fraudulent and icti-
tlOus letters, singing peans TO the worth OF their
own egOtiscal charlatanism Below we append a
letter from worthy man who. brief period since,
seemed destined to shuttle OIL this mortal coil, who
looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand of disease can. Contrary to hope the ability
of skillful 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-
thenticated by q Notary Public. The demands OF
society imperiously command its publicity, and 1t
is given to warn the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician of whom scores Of like cases
can be cted

The undersigned desirous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough 20 he sim
ilarly afflicted. whore = permanent relief OF
their su1erngs may be obtained. feels il his duty
to thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude
to DR.. H. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery OF
his health. Borne down by the distressing symp-
toms incident 10 the vicious practice of uncon-
trollable passion In youth; depressed in body and
mind, unable to perform even The most trihing duty
imposed upon the daily ayocations of life; /
sought the advice Of many physicians. who at first
regarded my disease of t.ding importance but
alasl after n few weeks, and in several instances
months of their treatment found to my uuuttcr-
able horror that instead OF relief. the symptoms
became alarming in their torture: aud, being told
by one that my disease. being principally confined
to the brain, medicines would be of little cOnsc-
quence, despaired of ever regaining my health.
strength and energy: and q 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 a strict obedience TO all his
directions and advice, my head became clear. my
ideas collected. the constant pain in my back and
grolns. the weakness of my limbs, the nervous re-.
action Of my whole body on the slightest alarm or
excitement; the misanthropy and evil forebodngs;
the incapability to study and want of resolution;
the irghtul, exciting. and al 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 10 end by my own
bHuI.
With view to guard Che unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares Of incompetent quacks, | 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
10y my experience. that once under his care a radi-
cal and permanent cure will be effected.
