Is THE INCENTIVE TO GRAFT


The undersigned, desirous Of acquainting those who
may be unfortunate enough to be similarly afflicted,
where permanent relief Of their sufieiings may be
obtained feels bis duty to thus publicly express his
most sincere gratitude TO DR.. L. J. Czapksy 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 unable to perform even the most trifing
duty imposed by the dayly avocatons Of life, sought
the advice Of many physicians who at first regarded
my disease Of tring importance; but alas, after
few weeks and in several instances months Of their
treatment found, to my unutterable horror, that,
instead of relief my symptoms became more alarming
in their t0rtnre and being told by that my disease
being principally confined to the brain, medicine
would be OF little consequence, despaired Of ever re-
gaining my 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. Encoungtd
by the result, l resolved to place myself under his
care and by strict obedience TO all his directions 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 or excitement the misanthropy
and evil forebodings the sedistrus and want Of
fdence in others, the incapably to study and want
Of resolution the frightul exciting and at times pleas
urabe dreams by night, followed by involuntary dis
charges have all disappeared. and in taet, IN Two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt as II
inspired by new liie---that life which, short time
ago, contemplated to end with my own hand.
With view TO guard the unf1tnnate from falling
into the snares Of incompetent quacks deem II my
duty to offer this testimony to the merits and skill Of
Dr. Czaplay and recommend him to all who may
stand in need Of medical advice being ASSURED BY my
own experience that once under his care, radieal
and permanent cure will be effected. ,,.,,
