A CARD.

CARD.
Prompted by an honest desire of my heart, 1wish
To Law before the public a case which deserves a
bieh commendation, not only as an act of scientific
skill but that of humanity also. About two years
ago suddenly, and from causes unknown to me,
was seized with fit of epilepsy, which, owing to
nv inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
n thorough medical treatment, and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting it,, soon be-
came such (as was then led to believe) as to defy
the skill of physician. | was frequently, while in
pursuit of my calling, thrown down to the ground
without the slightest warning. and although insen-
sble to the agonies, yet despsed the miseries OF
life aud soon learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me Nom danger as
enemies who sought to prolong the misery OF my
existence While in this state. and having previ-
Gus to my affection tasted the sweets of life, was
once more induced to attempt seeking aid OF aphy-
scian and by recommendation called upon DR.. l..
j. Czapkay. ] told him my circumstances and my
inability to reward him for his services, regardless
of which, however, he at once undertook my case,
and with the blessings of God, was once more re-
stored to perfect health Unable to reward him for
the boon which enjoy at present. and yet conscious
of my Indebtedness consider it due to myself and
to ali afflicted, to make the case public, in order
that those in need of medical advice may find
physician in whom every confidence may be placed.

AMERICAN FARMISG IMPLEMENTS II
EUkorE.-The pr.ducts of American
mechanical genus are doing as much to
raise the tame Of the country as its com.
nerce and literature. American farm
rs implements are becoming known and
popular over Europe, and are creating
greater revolution in agriculture there
than here:
BY late communication to the patent Of
fee. containing very Interesting report of
the agricultural exhibition recently held in
VieLna, we find that the exhibition OF lo5l
bad the effect Ut introducing the American
plows-either of American Manufacture or
constructor from A erican models-very ex.
tensiyeiy. both N England and France. The
government esta Adjustment at Giiynon. M
France. had adopted the American form OF
piow as being better adapted to the require
ments OF the country. McCorniek's reaper
has met with much favor on the continent.
One OF these machines was exhibited by
Count Otto Chou of Bohemia. The new
reap rs and mowers are especially adapted to
the extensive plans of hungary, where, by
the old method ct harvesting. the expense OF
getting in the crop is immense. and great loss
r.ses from the Smelling out Of the over ma
tured grain. The larger part of the improved
agricultural machinery exhibited 1T Vienna
was Of American invention. especially the
mowers, reapers, drills, and horse-rollers.
