with whom he lived was very poor and
could not afford candle and scarcely a

hours that this young man had leisure,
he had no alternative but to 90 into the

his book near a shop window, the lights

when they were put out, he used to climb
a lamp-post and hold on with one hand

C Z n TIF &C A TIE

The undersigned, dcsirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief OF
their sufferings may be obtained, feels it his
duty to thus publicly express his most sincere
gratitude to DIR. L. j. Czapkay for the perma-
ncnt 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 tritling duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life. sought the
advice of many physicians, who Mt first re-
garded my disease as of triflng importance :;
but alas ! after 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 regaining my health, strength
and energy and, as last resort and with
but a faint hope, called upon Or. 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 by a
strict obedience to all his directions and ad-
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collected,
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-
citement; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
dings the self-dstrust 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 hay-
ing consulted the Doctor, felt as if inspired
by new life-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
ommcnd him to all who may stand in need of
medical advice, being assured by my own ex-
periencc, that once under his care radical
and permanent cure will be effected

Il Dr. L. }. 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, Gonorrhea,
Nocturnal Emissions, and all the conse-
quences of self-abuse. In the first stages
of Syphlitic or Gonorrheal diseases. he guar
antees a cure in few days, without in
convenience to the patient or hindrance to
his business. When q 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
be 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 DIARRIIEA, he has safe
and effectual remedies. For the treatment of
the consequences of self-abuse, such as noe
turnal emissions, nervousness, timidty, 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
antec 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

The indulgence in secret practice is the most

There is no malady of deeper Importance
either in medical or moral point of view. TO
which the human family is more liable than
that arising from impure connections.
As medical man, it is the duty of every
physician to look at disease as it effects bealtb
and life, and his sole object should be to miti-
gate: as far as lies in his power, the bodily
suffering. Human nature at best is bnt fraiI !.

frighttul as are its ravages upon his constitu-
tion, ending frequently in destruction and
loathsome grave, it becomes of still greater i'm
portance when it is transmitted to innocent
offspring. Such being the case, how necessary
1t becomes that every one having the least
reason to fear that they have contracted the
disease, should attend to it at once, by consult
ing some physician, whose responsibility and
education enables him to warrant a safe speedy
and permanent cure. In accordance with this
necessity, DIR. YOUNG feels called upon to
state that by long study and extensive prac-
tice, he has become perfect master of all those
diseases which come under the denomination
of venereal, and having paid more attention to
that branch than any other physician in the
United States, he feels himself better qualified
to treat them

BoNNETS.

BY T. TRvoL
Of all the charms dear woman wears,
VI all her many traps and snares,
For real effect there's naught compares
With truly pretty bonnet;
For when or wherever you chance to meet
One that is perfectly modest and neat,
You may depend tbs proof complete
That the head has more in than on it.
No matter whether she's pretty or not,
How much or how little money she's got,
Whether she lives in mansion or cot,
IT'S fact, depend upon it;
The woman to make man happy thro life
To make model mother and wife,
Is one who, scorning this milliner strife,
Wears plain and tasteful bonnet.
Now bonnet of genuine beauty and grace,
Worn on the head in its proper place,
Shadowing family the wearer's face,
Is thing for song or sonnet
But one of these gay and gaudy things,
Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings,
A mixture of flowers, ribbons and strings,
Is dreadful, depend upon it.
A vulgar mass of '' fuss and feather"
A little of everything thrown together,
As if by touch of windy weather,
A wretched conglomeration-
A sort of cup to catch the hair,
Leaving the head to Ego it BARE"
striking example of Nothing to Wear"
Is this bonnet abomination.
1t makes n woman look brazep and bold,
Assists her in catching nothing but cold,
Is bad on the young, absurd on the old,
And deforms what it ought to deck;
For look at her face, no bonnet is there,
See at the side, it hangs by the hair;
View it behind, and you will declare
That the creature has broken her neck.
No matter where you may chance to be,
No matter how many women you see,
A promscuous crowd or a certain she,
You may fully depend upon it
That gem of the very rarest kind,
A thing most difficult TO find,
pet for which we long have pincd,
Is perfect " love of bonnet"
