most sincere gntitude to DR.. L. j. CZapkay for the
permanent recovery Of his health. Borne down By
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious
practice Of uncomfortable passion Of youth depress
ed in body land mind, unable to perform even ths

came more alarming in their torture and, being told
by that my disease being principally confined to
the brain, medicine would be oil ittie consequence,
despared Of ever reganing my health, strength and

my case, prescribed some medicine which almost in

wish to lay before the public case which deserves
commendation not only act Of scientific skill,
but that of humanity also. About two years ago,
suddenly and from cause unknown to me, was seized
with TT Of epilepsy which, owing to my inability to
meet the expenses consequent upon thorough medi-
cal treatment and the discOuragement which met

clan. was frequently while in pursuit OF my calling,
thrown down to the ground without the slightest
warning; and although insensibe to the Agonies,
to look upon those who would render assistance or
shelter me from danger, as enemies who sought to
proong the existence Of my miseries. While In this
state, and having, previous 70 my afiction tasted
the sweets Of life, once was induced to attempt
seeking aid Of a physician and, by recommendation,
called upon Dr. L. ]. CEapkay; told him my circum-
stances, and Of my inability to rewarn him for bis
services-regardless of which, however, he once
undertook my case, aed with the blessings Of God
was once more restored to perfect health Unable TO
reward him for the boon which / enjoy at present.
and yet conscious of my Indebtedness consider It
due to myself and all afflicted to make the case pub
