A CARD.

A CARD.
Prompted by an honest desire of my heart, I wish
to lay before the public case which deserves q
high commendaton, not only an act of scientific
skill, but that of humanity also. About two years
ago, l suddenly, and from causes unknown to me,
was seized with of epilepsy, which, owing to
my inability to 80 the expenses consequent upon
a thorough medical treatment and the discourage
ment which met with on attempting it, soon be-
came such (as was then led to believe) as to defy
the skill of physician. was frequently while In
pursuit of my calling, thrown down to the ground
without the slightest warning and although insen-
sble to the agonies yet despised the miseres of
life, and soon learned to look upon those who would
render me assistance or shelter me from danger as
enemies, who sought to prolong the misery of my
existence. While in this state, and having previ-
to my afliction tasted the sweets Of life,
once more induced to attempt seeking aid of ply
scian, and by recommendation called upon DR.. L.
J. Czapkay. / told him my circumstances and my
inability to reward him for his services regardless
of which, however, he at once undertook my case
and, with the blessings of God, was once more re-
stored to perfect health. Unable to reward him for
the boon which enjoy at present. and yet conscious
of my Indebtedness, consider 1t due to myself and
to all afflicted, to make the case public, in order
that those in need of medical advice may find
physician in whom every confidence may be placed

SUBsIDEScY OF THE ATLANTIC CoAsr.-The
ascertained geological fact that the coast of
New jersey is gradually sinking, has recently
attracted the attention of the press, and it ap-
pears that the subject has come before the
American Association for the advancement
Of Science At their recent meeting Mt Mon
treal, Professor Cook, Of New Jersey, read
paper on geological changes, in which he show
ed that the entire eastern coast Of the United
States IS subsiding gradually, and at rate of
about two feet in century. In proof, he added
several remarkable facts. On the coasts, from
Maine to South Carolina, there are swamp and
salt marshes. In these trees and other vegetable
substances were buried, even as much rs twenty
feet below the present surface, as if the ground
on which they once stood had sunk, while the
trees now growing were not much above the level
OF the sea. Even within the recollection of
living men the sea had encroached upon the
land. Some Of the harbors on the eastern coast
were getting deeper, while mills and sluices
made near the water level a century and half
ago, were becoming submerged.

the Saratoga County Press says that, lone would

We believe John Travis, reputed to have two
