ThankiuIncSs is the Incentive TO Gratitude
c L r TIF c A T + .


The undersigned, desirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where a permanent relief of
their sufferings may be obtained, feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to Dir. l.. J. Czapkay for the perma-
nent recovery of his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the Wis
cious practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifiing duty imposed
upon the daily avoeations of life. sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
gardcd my disease as of tritiing Importance !;
but, alas ! after a few weeks, and in several
instances months, Of their treatment, found
to my unutterable horror, that instead of re-
lief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture; and, being told by one, that my
disease, being principally confined to the brain
medicines would be of little consequence,
despaired of ever regaining my health strength
and energy; and, as a last resort, and with
but a faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay
who, after examining my case, prescribed some
medicine 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 a
strict obedience to all his directions and ad-
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collected,
the constant pain i'll my back and grons, the
weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of
my whole body on the slightest alarm or ex-
citement the misantllropy and evil forebo-
dings the sclf-distrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapability to study, and want
of resolution; the frightful, exciting, and at all
times pleasurablc dreams at night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disap-
peared; and, in fact, in two months after lav-
ing consulted the Doctor, felt as if inspired
by a new life-that life which, but short
time ago, | contemplated TO end by my own
hand.
With a 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 rec
ommend him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
pericnce that once under his care a radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

tute for the cure of all forms of disease, such
as Syphilis, Gonorrhna, Nocturnal Emissions,
and all the consequences of sclf-abuse. In the
first stages of Syphilitic or Gonorrheal dseas-
es, he guarantees cure i'll a few days. with

to his business. When patient, by neglect
or improper treatment, has developed the Sec
ondary symptoms of Syphilis such as buboes
or painful swelings on the groins, or ulcers
in the throat and nose, which, if not checked,
destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortify, separate, and come away, leaving the
sufferer an object hideous to behold or when
he has painful swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured so as to pre-
dispose to consumption, or other constitu-
tional disease, the Doctor guarantees a cure or
asks no compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acute in
DYSENTERY or DlARRHEA, he has safe
and effectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noe
turnal emissions, nervousness, timidty, head
ache pains in the back and limbs, with gen.
eral weakness, loss OF appetite, loss OF memo
ry, mi uIy to the sight, restlessness confusion
of ideas, dislike for society, and a feeling of
weariness of life with the nervous system so
excitable that slight noises shock or startle
the patient, making his existence miserable.
For the above maladies the Doctor will guar
antee cure or ask no compensation. He can
be consulted free of charge, and invites all to
call, as it will cost them nothing, and may be
much to their advantage. His Offices are at

AN CNLUCkY MUsICIAN-JohnP Phoe-
nix, the comic writer, recently saw, on
board a railroad train, boy with an ac-
cordcon. OF this John thus speaks:
g 1t was after eleven clock the train
had passed New Brunswick, and the pas
scngers were trying to sleep, (ha ha ,
when the boy entered. He was seedy
youth, with a seal-skin cap, a singularly
dirty face, gray jacket, of the ventila-
ting order, and short, but very remark
ably broad pair of "corduroys." He
wore an enormous bag of haversack about
his neck, and bore in his hand that most
internal and detestable instrument, an
ACCORDION. | despise that instrument of
music. They pull the music out of it,
and it comes forth struggling and reluc-
tant, like cat drawn by the tail from an
ash-hole, or a squirrel pulled shrieking
from hollow log with ramrod. This
unprincipled boy commenced pulling at
this thing, and horrifed us with the most
awful version of that wretched Dog Tray
that ever listened to. Then he walked
round the car and collected forty-two
cents. Then he returned to the centre of
the car, and, standing close to the stove,
which was red hot-the night being cold
-hc essayed to pull out " Pop Goes the
Weasel" when suddenly pop went the
boy, he dropped the accordeon, burst into
tears, and clappcd his hands behind him,
executed frantic dance, accompanied by
wells Of the most agonizing character. |
saw it all, and felt grateful to retributive
Providence. He had stood too close to
the stove, and his corduroys were in a
light blaze; few inches below the ter
mination of his gray jacket was the seat
of his woe. After he got on fire the
conductor put him out, and sweet inef-
fable calm came over me-I realized that
awhatevcr is, is right and | fell into
deep and happy sleep

Story OF THE Rich AuRIFERoUs.-

STORY OF THE Rich AURIFERoUs.-
We can tell big auriferous story. Bry-
ants quartz lead, in III Dorado county,
is nearly all gold-rock greatly in the
minority. Early last week, a store keeper
to whom one of the proprietors of the
lead had become indebted, told the debtor
he must have thousand dollars immedi-
atcly But / havn't got it in chink.
'sWell, you must get it, "Ill give you
the ra,r gold il that'll do" "All right,
give me that" "Wait minute or two,
said the miner, "and I'll so and mash
YOU up some" lie went to his claim,
picked up 10 pounds Of quartz rock, put
it in mortar, ssmashed it, took out sic
pounds of gold, carried the gold to the
store, threw it on the counter and re-
marked, ssthere, if you want any more,
you can 90 and mash it out yourself, I'm

The same paper makes the following
hit on the quartz fever at Plaeerville.-
QUARTz-QuARTz OSLY.-Placerville
is being transformed into a big quartz spe-
cimen. The speculations in quartz claims
there, are as great in proportion to the
number of people, as the money opera
tions in Wall street, New York. Every

word SPOKEN most frequently When

cocktails, and all around the town men
are whiting pieces OF quartz, which sig

in quartz; others are chewing quartz
which signifies that they have made a
bad bargain in quartz.

There is no malady of deeper Importance
either in medical or moyal point of view, to
which the human family is more liable, than
that arising from impure connections
Asa medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it effects health
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate, as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt fraiI:
all are liable to misfortune
OF all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those off private nature. Dread
ful as it is III the person who contracts it,
friglltful as are its r;tvages upon his constitu-
ton, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater I'M
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
it becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once bv consult
ing some physician, whose responsibility and
education enables him to warrant safe speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tlce. he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
OF venereal, and having paid more attention TO
that branch than any other physician in the
United States, he feels himself better qualified
to treat them
Syphilis in all its forms, such as Swelling of
the Groins. Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, Sec
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous, Eruptions, Ulcera-

Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excavations,
Tumors, Pustules, etc, are as familiar to him
as the most common things of daily observa-
tion.
The Doctor effects cure in receiving cases
IN a few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those OF long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment will draw upon
him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business, whether within doors or
without. The diet need not be changed, cx-
cept in cases Of severe inflammation There
are in California, patients, amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could fur
Eish proof of this; but these are matters that

Constitutional Debility or Scmial U'eokness.
DIR. YOUNG addresses those who have in
jured themselves by private and improper in
dulgences in that secret and solitary habit
which ruins the body and mind, uniting them
for either business or society. The following
are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz weak
ness of the back and limbs, pain in the head.
dimncss of sight, loss of muscular power, pal
pitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness.
irritability, arrangement of the digestive func-
tions, general debility, symptoms of consump-
ton, &c.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the
mind are more to be dreaded Loss of MEM
ory, confusion of ideas, depression of spirits.
evil forbodngs, aversion to society. sclfdis-
trust, love of solitude, timidity. &C.. are most
of the evils produced.
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to cali on Dr.
Young, and be at once restored to perfect
health. Let no false delcacy prevent you. but
apply Immediately, and save yourself from the
dreadful and awful consequences of this terri
