DR.. l. ]. CZAPKAY'S
Grand Medical and Surgical Institute.

Armory Hall Building, corner of Montgomery
and Sacramento streets, San Francisco.
Established for the permanent cure Hpricate and
chronic diseases and the suppression Of quackery.
nR. L. J CZAPKAY, late in the Hungarian
IL Revolutionary War, Chief Physician to
the 10th Regiment of Honveds, Chief Surgeon to
the Military Hospital at Pesth, Hungary, and
late lecturer on diseases of the urinary organs
and diseases of women and children, has open
ed his institute for the cure of all forms OF pr-
vate diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrh@a,
nocturnal emissions, and all the consequences
of self abuse In the first stages of syphilitic or
gonorrhaal diseases, he guarantees a cure
in few days, without inconvenience to the
patient or hindrance to his business. When a
patient, by neglect or improper treatment, has
developed the symptoms of secondary syphilis,
such as painful swelling of the groins, or ulcers
in the throat or nose, which, if not checked,
destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortify, separate and come away leaving the
sufferer hideous to behold or when splotches
or pimples break out upon the skin, or when
he has painful swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured SO as to
predispose to consumption or constitutional
disease the Doctor guarantees a cure or asks
no compensation.
In rheumatism, chronic or ACUTE in dysentery
or diarrh9a he has safe and effectual reme-
dies. For the treatment of the consequences
of self-abuse, such as nocturnal emissions
nervousness, timidty, headache, pains in the
back and limbs, with general weakness, loss of
appetite, loss of memory, injury to the sight,
restlessness, confusion of ideas, dislike to So
ciety, and feeling of WEAKNESS of life, with
the nervous system so excitable that slight
noises shock or startle the patient, making his
existence miserable. For the above maladies
the Doctor will guarantee a cure or ask no
compensation. He can be consulted free of
charge, and invites all to call as it will cost
them nothing, and may be much to their ad-
vantage

CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, desrous ofacquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly
afflicted where permanent relief of their suf-
ferings may be obtained feels it his duty to
thus publicly express his sincere gratitude to
DR.. L. J. Czapkay for the permanent recovery
of his health Borne down by the distressing
symptoms incident to the vicious practices of
uncomfortable passion in youth, depressed in
body and mind, unable to perform even the
most trifing duty imposed upon the daily avo-
cations of life, | sought the advice of many ply
sicians, who first regarded my disease of trihing
Importance, but, alas after few weeks and
IN several instances months, of their treatment
| found, to my unutterable horror, that instead
of relief the symptoms became more alarming
in their torture, and being finally told by one
that the disease, being principally confined to
the brain, medicines would be of little conse-
quence, despaired of ever regaining my health,
strength and energy and as a last resort, and
with but faint hope, called upon Dr. L. j.
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, pre-
scribed 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 his directions and
advice, my head became clear, my ideas col
lected, the constant pain in my back and groins
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction
of my whole system on the slightest alarm or
excitement, the misanthropy and evil forebod-
ings, the self-distrust and want of confidence in
others, the incapability to study and want of
resolution, the frightful, exciting, and at times
pleasurable dreams at night, followed by invol-
untary discharges 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, contem-
plated to end by my own hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from
| falling into the snareS of incompetent quacks,
| deem it my duty to offer this testimony to the
merit and skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recommend
him to all who may stand in need of medical
advice, being assured by my own experience
that, once under his care, a radical and perma-
nent cure will be effected B. F. FILLMoRE

A CARD the undersigned having been
IA under the treatment 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 pre-
venting others from the fearful suffering and
misery which experienced, and which so often
result from the pernicious practices of pretend
ers. My disease has been that Of physical and
mental debility, which follows in consequence
of the indiscretion in youth. The agonies which
[ endured are, perhaps unnecessary for me to
detail, they are known to those who have ex-
rerienced them suffice it to say, that having
called the services of Dr. L. J. Czapkay in re-
QUESTION, all my expectations which mar have
formed of him were more than realized.
would therefore recommend DR.. Czapkay to all
who may find themselves afflicted with that
dreadful malady, my object in so doing being
sympathy for suffering humanity, and a heart
felt desire of relieving them.
