C E r TIT G. A T E.

The undersigned, deSrous Of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where permanent relief O f
their sutferings 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 trifing duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, | sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as of trifling Importance
but, alas ! after a 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
sheir torture; and being told by one, that my
disease, being principally confined to the brain
medicines would be of little consequence, |
despaaTed of ever regaining my health, strength
and energy and, as 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 DUH 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-
element; the misanthropy and evil forebo-
dings the self-dstrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapablity to study, and want
OF resolution; the frightful, 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 new life-that life which, but a 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 1t 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-
perlence, that once under his care a radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

The indulgence in secret practice is the most
certain, though not always the most immedi-
ate and direct avenue to destruction. Physi-
clans of all ages have been most unanimously
of opinion that the loss of one ounce of semi
nal secretions by unnatural aid or emissions,
weahens the system more than the abstraction
Of forty ounces of blood. One of the FIRST
writers on medical jurisprudence states that
three -fourths of the insane owe their malady
to such abuse.
How important then, it is for every one,
having the least cause to suspect any trouble
in that way, to attend to it Immediately evew
one single occurrences should be sufficient to-
cause doubt, and much more so if the person
had ever indulged in the soul-killing habit
The treatment pursued by the justly celebra-
ted DR.. J. G. Young, in cases OF seminal weak
ness, impotency, sterility, nervous debility and
paralysis, (the last is the most dangerous, and
when it once occurs, incurable,) is not sur
passed by any Physician in the country. 1t is
