CERTIFICATE

The undersigned ,desirous of acquaintng those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where n permanent relief of their suferings may be
obtained il his duty to thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude to DR.. b. j Czapkay for the
permanent recovery OF his health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to the vicious prac
tce of uncomfortable passion in youth depressed in
body and mind unable to perform even the most tri
fling duty imposed upon the daily avocatons of life,
sought the advice of many physicians who AT first re-
cartled my disease of triing importance; but alas
after few weeks, and in several instances months of
theirtreatment, found to my unutterabe horror that
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, despared of ever
gaining nv health, strength and energy and as 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
rections 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 on the slightest alarm excitement; the
misanthropy and evil forebodings; the setdistrust
and want of confidence in others, the ncapabity to

with view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares of incompetent quacks, deem II my
duty offer this testimony to the merits and skin OF

So far as we have heard from the country, SINCE the

From beyond the mountains we have only heard from
