!" Not long ago II little girl, of about eight
years old, apparently belonging to good FAM

the servant that she wishes to speak the Herr

Thinking that the little one had to deliver
message, the servant shows her into the study
of the Professor, who received her kindly and
asked after her crrand. The child looks AT
him with earnest eyes, and says " Is it thou
who hast written those fine Marchen?' (fairy

The undersigned, desrous of acouaintinp
| those who may be unfortunate enough to be
similarly afflicted, where a permanent relief of
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 vi
clous practice of uncomfortable passion in
youth; depressed in body and mind, unable to
perform even the most trifiing duty imposed
upon the daily avocations of life, sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first re-
garded my disease as 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, |
despalred 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 dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, resolved to place
myself Immediately under his care and bv a
strict obedience to all his directions and ad
vice, my head became clear, my ideas collect
ed, the constant pain in my back and eroins.
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reac-
ton of my whole body on the slightest alarm
or excitement; the misanthropy and evil for
bodings; the self-distrust and want of conf
dence in others; the incapability to study. and
want of resolution the frightful, exciting and
at all times pleasurable dreams at night, fol-
lowed by involuntary discharges, have ali dis
appeared, and, in fact, in two months, after
having consulted the Doctor, l felt as if in
spired by new life-that life which, but a
short time ago, l contemplated to end with 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 merits 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 a radical
and permanent cure will be effected.

SURGEONS PULPIT STYLE-The following
extract from the fifth American series of Spur
geon's discourses will give the reader a good
Idea of his style of preaching and illustration
Many of Gods people have a manufactory
at the back of their houses in which they
manufacture troubles; and home made trou-
bles, like other homemade things, last very
long while, and generally fit very comfortably
Troubles of Gods sending are always suita-
ble-the right sort for our backs but those
that we make are of the wrong sort, and they
always last US longer than Gods. have
known an old lady sit and fret because she
believed she should die in work-house. and
she wanted God to give her strength accord
lngly; but what would have been the good OF
that, because the Lord meant that she should
die IN her own quiet bedroom?
