GRATITUDE Hs THE

CO.NPLETTO.N or THf.NKFUL~NESS.
rV,HE ineratitude of man to his fellow man is so
| 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 philanhropic devotion to the alienation
Of the ills of frail mortality. Empricism Hoods
the columns Of our press with fraudulent and ict
tous letters, singing peans to the worth OF their
own egotistcal charlatansm. Below we append a
letter from worthy man who. br1ef 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 a skillful physician has restored him to his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation.
and impelled by graf .tude, he makes known his
case aud +. medal agent, and his statement is au-
thenticated by Notary Public. The demands OF
society imperously command its publicity. and II
is given more to warn the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician of whom scores OF Ike eases
can bc cited
CERTIFICATE
The undersigned desrous OF acquaintng those
who may be unfortunate enough TO be sim
larly afflicted, whore permanent rtlief o.
their suti rings may be obtained. feels il bis duty
to thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude
to Dr. l.. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery OF
his health. Borde down by the distressing symp-
toms incident TO the vicious practice of uncOn-
trollaLle passion in youth: depressed in body and
mind, unable to p Form even the most r.fling duty
imposed upon the daily avocations OF life;
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
regarded my disease as Of tr.iling importance hut
alas! after few weeks, and in several instances
months Of their treatment, found TO my unutttr-
able horror that instead OF relief, the symptoms
became alarming in their torture; and, being told
10y one that my disease. being principally confined
to the brain, medicines would be OF lltilc cOnSe-
quence. despaired of ever regaining my health.
strength and energy; and n last resort and with
but a 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, aud by a strict obedience to all his
directions aud advice, my bead became clear, my
ideas collected the constant pain in my back and
groins, the weakness of my limbs, the nervous r..
action of my whole body on the slightest alarm or
excitement; the msanthropy and evil orebodings:
the incapability TO study and want of resolution;
the irighttul, 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 life--that life which, but
short time ago, contemplated to end by my own
hand.
With view to guarl the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares OF incompetent quacks | deem
il my duty to offer this testimony 10 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 a radi-
cal and permanent cure will be effected.
