I publicly express his most sincere gratitude to Dr.

health. Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices OF uncontrolabl
passion in youth. depressed in body and mind, nn-
! able TO perform even the most trifling duty inn
| posed by the daily avocations of life. sought
the advice OF III my physicians who at first rcgar
ded my disease as OF trifling importance; but,
alas, after few weeks. and in several instances,
months, of their treatment found, to my unut-
ternble horror, that. instead OF relief, my symp-
toms became more alarming in their torture; and
being told by one that my disease being princi-
pally confined to the brain, medicine would be OF
little consequence, despaired of ever re gaining
nv health. strength and energy; and. as last re
| sort. and with but faint hope. called upon Or.

ed some medicine which almost Instantly reliev-

SELF under his care. and, by strict obedience to
all his directions and alvice 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 on the
slightest alarm or excitement the nisanthropy
and evil forebodings, the selfdistrust and want Of
confidence in others, the incapability TO study,
and want of resolution. the frightful. exciting,
and at times, pleasurablc dreams by night, fol-
lowed by involuntary discharges have all disap-
pearcd and. in fact. in two months after having
consulted the Doctor. felt as if inspired by n
new life that life which, short time age, con
templated to end with my own hand.
Will. IL view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares of incompetent quacks, deem
il my duty to offer this testimony to the merits
and skill of Dr. Czapkay. and recommend him to
all who may stand in need OF medical advice be-
ing assured by my own experience that. once un
del his care. radical and permanent will
be effected. IT,. 81 b. F. FILLMORE.
