GRATITUDEIS TILE

COAfPLETIO.N or TELqNRFULNESS.
FTNHE ingrattudc of man to his fellow man is so
L 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 philanthropc devotion to the alleviation
of the ills of fraii mortality. Empiricsm floods
the columns of our press with fraudulent and fct-
tiOus letters singing peans to the worth of their
own egotstical charatanism Below we append q
letter from worthy man who, q 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 a sklful 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-
thenticated by Notary Public. The demands Of
society mperiousy command its publicity, and it
is given more TO the unwary than to sound the
praises of physician of whom scores of like cases
can be cited:
CERTIFICATE
The undersigned desirous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be sim
ilarly afflicted where a permanent relief Of
their suiferings may be obtained feels it his duty
to thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude
to Dr. l.. 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 trihng duty
imposed upon the daily ayocatons of life;
sought the advice of many physicians, who at first
regarded my disease rs of trihng Importance but
alasl 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 | despared Of ever regaining my health,
strength and energy; and as last resort and with
but faint hope, called upon DIR. Czapkay, who ai-
ter 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 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 misanthropy and evil forebodings;
the incapabity to study and want of resolutions;
the frghtiul, exciting, and at times pleasurable
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 new life-that life which, but
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 Dr. Czapkay, and recommend him to all
who are in need of medical advice being assured
by my experience, that once under his care n rad-
cal and permanent cure will be effected.
