A Need of Just Praise.

The ngrat&ude of man to his fellow man is 50
/ 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 philan-
thropic devotion to the alienation of the Ills Of
! trail mortality. Empiricsm foods the columns Of
! our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
! singing pcans to the worth Of their own egotiSt
cal charlatanism. Below we append letter
! from worthy man, who bricf period since
/ seemed destined to "shullle off this mortal coil:u
| who looked forward to his dissolution with that
| pleasure which only those weighed down by the
heavy hand Of disease can. Contrary to hope
the ability of skillul physician has restored him
to his former health. Relieved from his terrible
situation. and impeed by gratitude, he makes
known his case and remedial agent and his state
ment is authenticated by a Notary Public. The
demands Of society imperiously command its pub
licity, and it is given more to warn the unwary
than to sound the praises OF a physician Of whom
scores of like cases can be cited:

months, OF their Treatment. found to my unutter-
able horror that instead Of relief the symptoms
became more alarming in their torture; and. being
told by one that my disease. being principally con-
fined to the brain, medicines would be Of Iitlc
consequence. / desparcd Of ever rcgainng my
health strength ana energy; and as a last resort
and with but a faint hope, called upon Dr. Cap

medicine which almost instantly relieved me of
the dull pain ana dizziness in my head. Encour-

Immediately under his care, and hy strict obc-

became clear, my IDEAS collected the constant pain

the Doctor, felt as if inspired by new iIe--that

merit and skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recomcnd
him to ali who may stand in need of medical
advice. being assured, by my own experience, that
once under his care radical and permanent cure
will be effected
