I, the undersigned, having been under the treat
ment of DR.. l.. j. Czapkay although unsolicited,
feel called upon to give publicity to the efficacy Of
his treatment, hoping that by so 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 pretcnders. My disease has been that of physi-
cal and mental debility, which follows in conse-
ouence of the indiscretion Of youth. The agonies
which endured are perhaps. unnecessary for me
to detail; they are known to those who have expe-
rcnced them. Suffice it to say that having called
the services Of DR.. l.. j. CzapkGy in requisition,
all my expectations which may 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 doing being sympathy for suffering hu-
manity, and heartfelt desire Of relieving them
