CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned desirous Of aequainting those whS
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted
where permanent relief Of their suiierings may bs
obtained feels it his duty to thus publicly express Biz
most sincere gratitude 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 the
most trihing duty imposed upon the daily avocatons
of life, sought the advice OF many physicians Who
at first regarded my disease rs Of tring importance;
but alas after few weeks, and In several instances
months Of their treatment, found, 10 my unutten.
BILE horror that instead Of relief my symptoms be.
came more alarming in their torture and being told
by one that my disease being principally confined 10
the brain, medicine would be Of little consequence,
despaired Of ever reganing my health strength and
energy; and as q last resort, and with but faint
hope, called upon DR.. Czapkay, who, after examining
my case, prescribed some medicine which almost In
stanty relieved me Of the dull pain and dzzntss in
my head. Encouraged by this result, resolved 70
place myself Immediately under his care, and, BY
strict obedience to his directions and advice my head
became clear, my ideas collected, the constant pains
in my back and grolns the weakness OF my limbs, The
nervous reaction Of my whole body on the slightest
alarm or excitement, the msanthropy and evil fore
bodings, the selfdistrust and want Of confidence in
Others the incapabty to study. and want OF Tesoln

dreams at night, followed by involuntary discharge
have ally disappeared and In fact In two months A.
ter having consulted the Doctor felt as II inspired
by q new life-that life which, short time ago, !
contemplated 10 end with my own hand.
With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares Of incompetent quacks, deem II my
duty to offer this testimony to the merits and skill Of
DR.. CZapkay, and recommend him TO all who may
own experience, that once under bis care, radical

| CARp-Prompted by an honest desire Of my heart,
wish to lay before the public case which deserves
commendatiOn, not only as an act Of scientific skill,
but that Of humanity also. About two years ago, ]
suddenly and from cause unknown 70 me, was seized
with 1T Of epilepsy, which, owing 10 my inability 10

yet despised the miseTes OF my fe and soon learned
10 look upon those who would render assistance or
shelter me from danger, as enemies who sought 10
prolong the existence Of my miseries. While In this
state, and having, previous to my aficton, tasted
the sweets Of lie once more was induced 10 attempt
seeking aid Of physician, and, BY recommendation,
called upon Dr. L. ]. Czapkay; told him my circnn-
stances, and Of my inability to Tewarn him for his
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 u
due 70 myself and all afflicted, TO make the case pub
hc in order that those in need Of medical advice may
find a physician in whom every confidence can Be
placed. MEYER YABLONSkf.
