GRATITUDE rs THE

COMPLETION OF TH4.NKFLrLNESS
TNHE ingratitude of man to his fellow man is so
l. often met with in life that testimonials,
promptedily the finer feelings of the heart are
oasis in the life of those who sacrifice their best
days in phanthropic devotion to the alleviation
of the ills of frail mortality Empiricism floods
the columns of our press with fraudulent and fct-
tious letters, singing peans to the worth OF their
own egotstica charlatanism Below append a
letter from worthy man who, brief period since,
seemed destined to shuttle off 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 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 desirous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be sim
iarly afflicted where permanent relief Of
their suficrings may be obtained, feels il 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-
trellable passion in youth; depressed in body and
mind, unable to perform even the most trifing duty
imposed upon the daily avocatons of life
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
regarded my disease of trihng importance but
alas after a 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 medicines would be of little conse-
quence, despaired Of ever regaining my health
strength and energy; and as last resort and with
but faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkav, 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
excitement the misanthropy and evil forebodings;
the incapabity TO study and want OF resolutions
the irightful exciting. and at times pleasurable
dreams at night, followed by involuntary dis
charges. have all dsappeared; and in fact in two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt as
If inspired by new life-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
it my duty to offer this testimony to the merit and
skill OF DR.. Czapkav, and recommend him TO all
who are in need of medical advice, being assured
10y my experience, that once under his care a rad-
cal and permanent cure will he effected
