l.. J. Czapkay for the 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, un-
able 10 perform even the most tri1ing duty i'm

Prompted by an honest desire of my heart,
wish to lay before the public case which de-
serves commendaton, not only as an act of sci
entifc skill, but that Of humanity also. About
two years ago suddenly, and from causes un
which owing to my inability to meet the expen
ses consequent upon thorough medical treat
ment, and the discouragment which | met with
on attempting it, soon became such Gas was then
led to beieve) as to defy he skill of any physi-
cian. L was frequently while in pursuit of my
calling. thrown down to the ground without the
slightest warning and, although insensbe to
the agonies, yet despsed the miseries of my
life and soon learned to look upon those who
would render assistance or shelter me from dan
ger as enemies who sought 10 prolong the exist
ence of my mseries. While in this state, and
having previous to my aftction tasted the
sweets of life, | once more was induced to at
tempt seeking aid Of physician, and, by recon
mendation called upon DR.. l.. J. Czapkay.
told him Of my circumstances. and of my nabil
ity to reward him for his services, regardless oil
which. however, he at once undertook my case
and. with the blessing of God, l WAS once more
restored to perfect health. Unable to reward
him for the boon which enjoy ut present. and
yet conscious of my indebtedness, | consider il
due to myself and all afflicted, to make the case
public, in order that those i n need of medical ad
vice may find physician in whom every conf
deuce can be placed.
