with on attempting it. soon became such (as was

look upon those who would render assistance or .be-
ter me from danger enemies who sought 10 proong
the existence of my msees. While in this state ana
having, previous 10 my afcton, tasted the sweets o.
life, once more was induced to attempt seeking ao

THE Ono STATE HOUsk AND SrKrE WELL.
OFer twenty years since, the State Of Ohio
commenced the construction Of State
House. on an estimate Of $500, 900, as the
cost Of the structure. This was then re-
gardei us a liberal investment for that pur-
pose; but with few moderate shrugs the
plan vas nequiesced In BY the people, and
che work vas begun. To a reasonable
length Of time the half million was exhaus-
ted, with the building bat fairly under way.
From year 10 year, from $50, 900 to $780,
900 were added to carry on the job, until
the original half million has sWelled 70 ST.

IS THE INCENTIVE TO GRATITUDE.



The undersigned, desirous Of aeQuainting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where permanent relief Of their suierings may be
Obtained feels bis duty to thus publicly express his
permanent recovery Of his health Borne down by the
distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practices
Of uncomfortable passion in youth, depressed in body
and mind, unable to perform even the most trifiDg
duty imposed by the daily Ryocations Of life, sought
the advice Of many physicians who at fist regarded
my disease Of trihing importance; but alas, after
few weeks, and In several instances, months Of their
treatment found, TO my unutterable horror, that,
instead Of relief my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture; and being told by that my dseae
being principally confined 10 the brain, medicine
would be Of little consequence, despaiTed OF ever re-
gaining my health, strength and energy; and, last
resort, and with but faint hope, called upon Dr.
Czapkay, who, after examining my case prescribed
medicine which almost instantly relieved me Of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. EneOuIagtd
by the result, resolved 70 place myself under bib
care and by strict obedience to all his directions and
advice, my head became clear, my ideas collected the
constant pain 10 my back and grOins the weakness O
my limbs, the nervous reaction Of my whole body on
the slightest alarm excitement the msanthropy ard
evil forebodngs, the selfdistrust and want Of conf
dence IN Others the incapabty 10 study and want Of
resolution, the frghtfu exciting and, at times, pleas
urable dreams by night followed by involuntary dis
charges, have all disappeared and in fact, in two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt as II
inspired by a new fe-that life which, short time
ago, contemplated to 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 sk OF
DR.. CZapkay, and recommend him 10 all who moy
stand In need Of medical advice being assured BY my
