Thaakfuluess is the Incentive to Gratitude.


The undersigned, deslrous OF acquaintlng those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af
dicted, where permanent relief of their suferings
may be obtained feels it his duty to thus publicly
express his most sincere gratitude to DR., L. ].
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, unable to
perform even the most trifing duty imposed by the
daily avocations of life, 1 sought the advice of ma
nv physicians, who at first regarded my disease
of triing 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 torture and being told oy one that my dis
ease being principally confined to the brain, medi-
cine would be of little consequence, despared of
ever resanng my health, strcng tn 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 under his care, and, by strict obedi
euce to all his Instructions and advice my head be-
came clear nv ideas collected the CONSTANT pain in
nv back and groins the weakness of my limbs the
nervous reaction of my whole body on the slightest
a,arIa or excitement. the lnisanthropy and evil
forebodings the sef-distrust and of confidence
in others the ncapability to study, the want of re-
solution the rightful, excting and a; times pleas
urable dreams hY night, followed by Involuntary
discharges, have ali disappeared and. in fact. in
two months after having consulted the Doctor. l
felt as if inspired by . new life-that life which. a
short time ago, 1 contemplated to end with my own
hand.
With view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snarcs of incompetent quacks, deem
it nv duty to offer this testimony TO the merits and
skill of DR.. CzaEkey, and recommend him to all
who NAV stand in need Of medical advice, being
assured by my own experienee that once under his
care, radical and permanent cure viii be effected.
