CERTIFICATE.

l. the undersigned, having been under the treat
ment of Dr. H. J. Czapbay, although unsolicited.
feel called upon to give publicity to the efficacy of
his treatment, hoping that by doing, may be
instrumental In preventing Others from the fearful
suffering and misery which experienced, and
which so often result from the pernicious practice
of pretenders My disease has been that of phys-
cal aud mental debility, which follows in conse-
quence of the indiscreton of youth The agones
which endured are, perhaps, unnecessary for me
to detail; they are known to those who have eype-
rienoed them. Suffice it to say, that having called
the services Of Dr. l.. j. Czapkay in requisition,
all my expectations which laay have formed of
him were more than realized would therefore,
recommend DR.. Czapkay to all who may find them
selves afflicted with that dreadful malady, my OBJ
ject IN so dong being sympathy for suffering hn-
manity. aud heartfelt desire of relieving them.

A CARD

A CARD
/ Prompted by an honest desire of my heart / wish
to lay before the public case which deserves n
high 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
my inability to meet the expenses consequent upon
a thorough medical treatment, and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting it, soon be-
came such (as 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
sible to the agonics yet despised the miseres of
life, and soon learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me from danger as
enemies, who sought TO prolong the misery of my
existence. While in this state, and having previ-
Gus to my afliction tasted the sweets of life was
once more induced to attempt seeking aid of ply
sician, and by recommendation called upon Dir. l..
J. Czapkay. ! told him my circumstances and nv
inability to reward him for his services regardless
of which, however, he at once undertook INV 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 all afflicted to make the case public in order
that those in need of medical advice NAV find
physician in whom every confidence may be placed.
