GRATITUDE is THE

COMPLETION OF THA.NhFULNESS.
T'HE ingrattude of man to his fellow man is so
il 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 philanthropic devotion to the alienation
of the ills of fral mortality. Empiricism floods
the columns Of our press with fraudulent and fcti
tious letters, singing peans to the worth of their
own egotstical charlatanism. Below we append a
letter from a worthy man who, brief 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 skilful physician has restored him to his for
mer health. Relieved from his terrible situation,
and impelled by gratitude, he makes known his
case and remedial agent, and his statement is au-
thentcated by Notary Public. The demands of
society imperiously command its publicity, and it
is given more TO warn the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician Of whom scores of like cases
can be cited;
CERTIFICATE
The undersigned desirous of acquantng those
who may be unfortunate enough to be sim
iarly afflicted. where permanent relief of
their sufferings may be obtained feels it his duty
to thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude
to DR.. H. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery of
his health. Borne down by the distressing symp-
toms incident to the vicious practice of uncon-
trollable passion in YOUTH depressed in body and
mind, unable to perform even the most trhing duty
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
regarded my disease as of trifiing importance 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 alarming in their torture; and being told
by one that my disease. being principally confined
to the brain, medicines would be of little conse-
quence. despaired of ever regaining my health,
strength and energy; and as last resort and with
but a faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay, who af-
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, and by strict obedience 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 re-
action of my whole body on the slightest alarm or
excitement the msanthropy and evil iorebodings:
the incapability TO study and want of resolution;
the irightful exciting, and at times peasurable
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 a 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
ing into the snares Of incompetent quacks, | deem
il my duty to offer this testimony to the merit and
skill of DIR. Czapkay, and recommend him to all
who are in need of medical advice, being assured
by my experience, that once under his care radi-
cal and permanent cure will be effected
