years,) been troubled with that most dreadful
scourge of young people seminal weakness or noe

careful examination of my case, he gave ne med-

months without receiving any benefit in fact grew
worse from week TO week. until at last got dsconr-
aged and asked him for his opinion l told him not
to fear to tell me the whole truth, for should rah
know the worst at once than to live in suspense
had lost about thirty pounds of flesh, and knew
that he at least could not cure me, and as | was
then going on. death must soon count me as one Of
its victims. This physician then told me that my
case was ncurable; that had better not take any
more medicines. He said was in a decline which
was fast tending to pulmonary consumption.
/ then despairea of obtaining any relief, and saw
that unless something done TO mitigate the com
plant that should be numbered with the dead or
what is worse, be a raving maniac. Happening to
see one of your books, the Pocket Esculapius
made up my mind at once to call and consult YOU
with the determination Of trying once more to get
relief if you would undertake the case. Oh, how
thankful l am for this determination commenc-
ed taking the medicines prescribed by you, and
am now, through their healing powers, restored TO
perfect health. | shall not fail TO recommend you
to any of my friends that require assistance, for
man that can cure case as bad as mine was, can
cure every disease that flesh is heir to- if there is
life enough left in the system to build upon.

ter examining my prescribed some medicine
which almost instantly relieved me of the dull

the incapability TO study and want Of resolution;
the frghtful, exciting, and at times pleasurable

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

it my duty to offer this testimony to the merit and
skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recommend him to all
who are in need Of medical advice, being assured
by NY experience. that once under his care a rad-
cal and permanent cure will be effected.
