GRATITUDE is THE

CONPLEIIO.N or IHHsNhfLI~NE ESS.
THE ingratitude Of man TO his fellow man is so
i often met with in life that testimonials,
prompted by the finer feelings of the heart
oasis in the life of those who sacrifice their best
days in phanthropic devotion to the aleviation
of the ills of fruil mortality. Empiricism floods
the columns Of press with fraudulent and fcti-
tious letters, singing peans TO the worth Of their
own egotistcal charlatanism. Below we append
letter from worthy man who, brief period since,
seemed destined to shuttle of 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 skillful 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 to sound the
praises Of physician of whom scores of like cases
can be cted
CERTIFICATE
The undersigned desirous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be sim
ilary afflicted, where a permanent relief Of
their suferngs 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. Borae down by the distressing symp-
toms incident to the vicious practice of uncon-
trolable passion in youth; depressed in body and
mind unable to perform even the most trihing duty
imposed upon the daily avocatons of life;
SOUGHT lhe ADVICE OF many physicians, VINO at frSt
! regarded my disease as of trifng Importance but
alas 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-
quencc. | despaired of ever regaining my health
strength and energy; and as last resort and with
but faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay, who af
/ ter examining my case prescribed some medicine
- IN
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
/ gr0ins 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 incapability to study and want of resolution;
/ the irghtful, 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 liie--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 DIR. 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 and permanent cure will be effected.
