A Need of lust Praise

The ingratitude of man to his fellow man is S,
often met with in life that testimonials, prompted
by the finer feelings Of the heart oasis in the
life of those who sacrifice their best days in philan
thropic devotion to the alleviation of the ills O
frail mortality, Empiricism floods the columns Of
our press with fraudulent and fictitious letters
singing peans to the worth of their own egotist
cal charlatanism. Below we append letter
from worthy man, who brief period since
seemed destined to "shulfic off this mortal coil:'
who looked forward to his dissolution with that
pleasure which only those eighcd down by the
heavy hand of disease can. Contrary to hope
the ability of skllful physician has restored him
to his former health Relieved from his terrible
situation, and impellcd by gratitude, he makes
known his case and remedial agent and his state
mcnt is authenticated by Il Notary Public. The
demands of society mperiously command its pub
! licty, and it is given more to warn the unwary
than to sound the praises of physician ofwhom
scores OF like cases can be cited:
CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, dcsirous of acquainting 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 Cazpkay for 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 triHing duty i'm
posed upon the daily avocations of life sought
the advice Of many physicians. who at first re-
garded my disease as of trtng importancc-but
alas. after 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 by one that my disease, being principally con-
fined to the brain, medicines would be of little
consequence, despaired of ever rcganng my
health, strength and energy; and a last resort,
and with but faint hope, called upon DR.. Cap
kaV who after examining q u m V n Orcccribp1
medicine which almost instantly relieved me 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 obe-
dicnce 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 reaction of my whole body on the
slightest alarm or exciting; the misanthropy and
evil forebodings; the sci-distrust and want of
confidence in others; the incapabity to study,
and want of resolutions the irghtful, exciting.
and at times peasurable dreams at nil ght, followed
by involuntary discharges, 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 short time ago, | contemplated
to end by my own hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from
falling into the snares of incompetent quacks
deem it my duty to offer this testimony to the
merit and skill Of DR.. Czapkay, and recomend
him to all who may stand in need of medical
advice, being assured, by my own experience, that
once under his care radical aud permanent cure
will be effected
