The undersigned, ,desirous of acquaiuting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted
where permanent relief of their sulering3 may be
obtained, feels it his duty to thus publicly express his
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 prac
tice Of uncomfortable passion in youth depressed in
body and mind unable to perform the most tri-
fling duty imposed upon the daily avocatoas of fe
sought the advice of many physicians who at first
earded my disease of tri1ing Importance; but, aas
after few weeks and in several instances months, of
their treatment, found to my unuterable horror that
instead ofrelief my symptoms became more alarming
in their torture and being told by that my disease
being principally confined to the brain, medicines
would be of little consequence, dospaired of
gaining my health, strength and energy and, as last
resort, and with but faint hope, called upon DIR.
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 the resut,I resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care, and by strict obedience to all his di
recions and advice, my head became clear, my ideas
collected, the constant pain in my back and grons,
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of my
whole body on the slightest alarm excitement; the
misanthropy and evil forebOdings; the sef-dstrust
and want of confidence in Others, the incapabty to
stuy and want of resolution the rightfa exciting,
and, at times peasurable dreams By night, followed
by involuntary discharges have all disappeared, and
In fact in two months after having consulted the Doc
tor, felt as if inspired by new fehat life which
n short time ago, contemplated TO end with my own
hand.
With n view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares of incompetent quacks, deem it my
duty to offer this testimony to the merits AMI skill of
DR.. pkay, and recommend him 10 all who may
stand in need Of medical advice, heng assured by my
