CERTIFICATE.


The undersigned, ,desrous Of acquaiuting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where permanent relief of their sulTerngs may be
oltaned feels it his duty TO thus publicly express his
permanent recovery Of his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident TO the vicious prac-
cc of uncomfortable passion Ia youth; depressed in
body and mind, unable to perform the most tri-
fling duty imposed upon the daily ayocations of life
sought the advice Of many physicians, who at first re-
gGrded my disease of ring importance; but alas.
after few weeks and in several instances months, OF
Iertreatneut found TO NY uuutterable horrors hat
instead of relief 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, despaired of ever re-
gaining my health, strength and energy and, a 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 the result resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and by strict obedience to all his di-
rectons and advice, my head became clear, my ideas
collected, the constant pain in my back and groins,
the weakness of my limbs, the nervous reaction of my
whole body the slightest alarm excitement; the
misanhropy and evil forebodings; the sef-distrust
and want of confidence in others, the nCapabiity to
study, ana want of resolution the frghtfu exciting,
and, at times, peasurable dreams by night, followed
by Involuntary discharges have all Disappeared and,
in fact in two months alter having consulted the Doc
tor, felt as if inspired by le-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 l deem it my
duty TO Offer this testimony to the merits and skin OF
DR.. Cz~pEav, and recommend him to an who may
stand ia need of medical advice being by my
own experience that once under his care, radical
and permanent cure will be Effected
