GRATITUDE rs THE

COMPLETION OF I'Ha.NKFULNESS.
rTNIiE ingratitude 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 philanthropic devotion to the alienation
of the ills of frail mortality. Empiricism floods
the columns of our press with fraudulent and icti-
| tious letters singing peans to the worth of their
own egotistical charlatanism. Below we append q
| letter from worthy man who, brief period since
seemed destined to shuttle Off this mortal COLL who
| looked forward to his dissolution with that pleas
ure which only those weighed down by the heavy
hand Of disease Contrary to hope. the ability
of 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 imperiously command its publicity and it
is given more to warn the unwary than 10 sound the
praises of physician of whom scores of like cases
can be cited

who may be unfortunate enough to be sim
iarly afflicted, where permanent relief Of
their slierings 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

toms incident to the vicious practice of uncon-
trollable passion in youth; depressed ia body and
mind unable to perform even the most trifing duty
imposed upon the daily avocations of life;
sought the advice of many physicians who at first
regarded my disease as of triiing Importance but
alasl after Il 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, mecines woul 9Jbittle conse ddoi =
quence, despaired of ever reganng my health
strength and energy; and as last resort and with

ideas collected, the constant pain in my back and
grons, 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 ineapablity to study and want of resolutions

dreams at night, followed by involuntary dis
charges, have all dsappeared and in fact in two
months after having consulted the Doctor l. felt as
if inspired by new lfe-that life which, but a
short time ago contemplated to end by my own
hand.

ing into the snares of incompetent quacks, deem
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 a radi
cal aud permanent cure will be effected.
