On His Winding War,

A few weeks ago we copied from the
Kansas City journal, notice of an sd-
venturer in pursuit Of gold at Pixies Peak,
who left that city for the mines, taking
his whole stock in trade with him, on a
wheelbarow. The Emporia Ne,0s has
the following paragraph in its issue Of the
23d ult, relating to him:
On the 18th inst. McGrew, barefooted,
with his wheelbarrow before him, passed
through Council Grove, on the Santa Fe
Road, about $50 miles from Kansas City.
His determination was still strong to 20
through afoot, although his feet were sore
and bleeding, and he had been offered q
passage with several trains on their way
out. } MeGrew is printer. He has prob
ably published country newspaper
somewhere, and has become used to Ego
ing barefootedD from necessity.

is the Incentive to Gratitude.
C. Err Tile C 7 E

The undersigned desrOns of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted where a permanent relief of
their sutierings may be obtained feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to DR.. L. J. Czapkay for the perma-
nent recovery of his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the Wis
cious practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifling duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as of trifing Importance ;
but, alas ! after Il few weeks, and in several
instances months, of their treatment, found
to my unutterable horror, that instead of re-
lief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture and, being told by one, that my
disease, being principally confined to the brain
medicines would be of little consequence,
despaired of ever reganing my health, strength
and energy; and as Il last resort and with
but faint hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay,
who, after 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 bv q
strict obedience to all his directions and ad-
AAS''N
the constant pain in my back and groins, the
weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of
my whole body on the slightest alarm or ex-
element; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
dingS the self-diStruSt and want of confidence
in Others; the incapability to study and want
of resolution; the frghtful, exciting, and at all
times pleasurable dreams at night, followed
by involuntary discharges, have all disap-
peared; and, in fact, in two months after hav-
ing consulted the Doctor | felt as if inspired
by a new lfe-that life which, but short
time ago, contemplated 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 rec
ommend him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
perience, that once under his care a radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

DRIVATE Medical and Surgical Institute
J. DR.. L.. J. Czapkay returns his sincere
thanks to his numerous patients for their pat
ronage, and would take this opportunity to re-
mind them that he continues to consult at his
Institute for the cure of all forms OF Private
Diseases, such as Syphilis, GonorrhGa,
Nocturnal Emissions, and all the conse-
quences of self-abuse. In the first stages
of Syphilitc or Gonorrheal diseases, he guar
antees a cure in few days, without in
convenience to the patient or hindrance to
his business. When a patient, by neglect
or improper treatment, has developed the sec
ondary symptoms of Syphilis, such as buboes
or painful swellings on the groins, or ulcers
in the throat and nose, which, if not checked,
destroy the soft parts and cause the bones to
mortify, separate, and come away, leaving the
sufferer an object hideous to behold or when
he has painful swellings upon the bones, or
when his constitution is injured so as to pre-
dispose to consumption, other constitu-
tional disease the Doctor guarantees cure or
asks no compensation.
In RHEUMATISM, chronic or acute; in
| DYSENTERY or DIARRIIGA, he has safe
and effectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noe
turnal emissions, nervousness, timidity, head
ache, pains in the back and limbs, with gen.
eral weakness, loss of appetite, loss of memo
ry injury to the sight, restlessness, confusion
of ideas, dislike for society, 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 guar
antee 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 advantage His offices are at
