ThankfulneSS is the Incentive to Gratitude
c E r 7 IF C A T E .

The undersigned, desirous of acquainting
those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where a permanent relief oil
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 trifling duty imposed
upon the daily avocationS of life; / sought the
advice OF many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease of trifing 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
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 a last resort, and with
but a 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 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 forebe-
dings the self-distrust and want of confidence
in others; the incapability 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 q 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 radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

dulgences in that secret and solitary habit
which ruins the body and mind, uniting them
for either business or society. The following
are some of the sad and melancholy effects
produced by early habits of youth, viz /: weak
ness OF the back and limbs, pain in the head,
dimness of sight, loss of muscular power. pal
pitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervousness,
lrritability, arrangement of the digestive func-
tons, general debility, symptoms of consump-
ton, &c.
MENTALLY-The fearful effects upon the
mind are more to be dreaded. Loss of mem

evil forbodings, aversion to society, seif-dis-
trust, love of solitude, timidity, &C. are most
of the evils produced
All persons who are afflicted with any of the
above symptoms should not fail to cali on DR..

Important TO Miners. Travellers. &r

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 health
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 frail;
all are liable to misfortune.
Of all the ills that affect man. none are more
terrible than those of private nature. Dread
ful as it is in the person who contracts it.
frightful as are its ravages upon his constitu-
ton, 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
it 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 respectablity and
education enables him to warrant 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.
Syphilis in all its FORMS such as Swelling of
the Groins, Ulcers, Ulcers in the Throat, See
ondary Syphilis, Cutaneous, Eruptions, Ulcera-
tions, Tertiary Syphilis in Children, Mercurial
Syphilitic Affections, Gonorrhea, Gleet, Stric-
lures, False Passages, Inflammation of the
Bladder and PROSTATE Glands, Excavations,
Tumors, Pustules, ETC., are as familiar to him
as the most common things of daily observa-
ton.
The Doctor effects cure in receiving cases
IN few days, and finds no difficulty in curing
those of long duration, without submitting the
patient to such treatment as will draw upon
him the slightest suspicion, or oblige him to
neglect his business, whether within doors or
without. The diet need not be changed, ex-
cept IN cases of severe inflammation. There
are in California, patients, (amounting to over
two thousand in the past year, that could fur
nish proof of this but these are matters that
require the incest secrecy, which he always
preserves.
All letters inclosing $40, will be promptly
attended to. Office hours from 9 A. NJ, to 4

miles very pleasantly. About six miles from

from Its antique appearance, was induced to
alight, and went in bet, the services wete over,
though we amused ourselves by exahlining

and abundance Of gold in and about the altar,
but the rest Of the chutch was anything but
fine.
After leaving the church, we approached

and interested:
