A Need of Just Praise.

The ingratllu,lc 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 phan-
thropic devotion to the aleviaion Of the ills of
iWil mortality Empiricism foods the columns of
our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth Of their own eGotisti-
cal charlatansm. Below append letter
| from worthy man. who q brct period since,
seemed destined to shuttle off this mortal coil;"
! who looked forward TO his dissolution with that
| pleasure which only those wei ghcd down by the
! heavy hand Of disease can. Contrary to hope,
the ability Of sklliul physician has restored him
! TO his former health. Relieved from his terrible
situation. and mpclled ly gratitude he makes
known his case and remedial agent and his state
ment is authenticated ly Notary Public. The
demands Of society mpcriously command its pub
licity. and it is given more TO warn the unwary
than to sound the praises Of physician OF whom
scores of like cases can be ctcd

The undersigned, desirous Of acquaintng those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly
afflicted where permanent relief of their suffer
ings may be obtained. feels it his duty to thus
publicly express his most sincere gratitude to Dr..
l.. J Cazplay ior The permanent recovery Of his
health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practice of uncomfortable
passions in youth; depressed in body and mind,
unable to perform even the most trifling duty i'm
posed upon the daily ayocations of life. sought
the advice Of many physicians. who at first re-
gardcd my disease rs OF trding 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 more alarming in their torture; and being
told hy one that my disease, being principally con-
fined to the brain. medicines would be Of little
consequence. despared of ever regaining my
health. strength and energy; and as last resort,
and with but faint hope, called upon Dr. Cap
kay. who after eSaminng my case. prescribed Some
medicine which almost instantly relieved Of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encour-
aged by this result resolved to place myself
Immediately under his care, and by a strict obc-
dicnce TO all his directions and advice, my head
became clear, my ideas collected the constant pain
in my back and eroins, the weakness of my limbs
the nervous reaction of my whole body on the
slightest alarm or eXciting the misanhropy and
evil iorehodjngS the scfdstrust and want of
confidence in others; the ncarahility to study,
and want of resolution; the trghtful, exciting,
and at times pleasurable dreams at nj ght, followed
by involuntary discharges have all Disappeared
and in fact, in t"o months after having consulted
the Doctor, felt as ii inspired by new lifethat
life which. but short time ago, | contemplated
to end by my own hand.
With view TO guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snarcs Of incompetent uuacks
deem it my duty to offer this testimony to the
merit and skill of Dr.. C2apkay. and rccomcnd
him to all 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
