PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 18th, 1852
To the Editors of the Pacific Medical and Surgical
journal:
GkSrLKHES My attention has been called to an
article in the December number OF your Journal, In
regard to the al 6uHdem degree granted BY the
Philadelphia College Of Medicine to Dr. L. J. Gap
kay. When the application for the degree made
to the Faculty it was accompanied by anidavts and
testimonials to the effect that Dr. CGapkAy was a
regular graduate N. D. OF the University OF Pesth
had served as q Surgeon In the Hungarian army, and
Was regular practitioner Of medicine. On the
strength OF these, the degree was granted. The al
eundem degree, As it's name implies, Is conferred
graduates only, and gives privileges. Had
there been the slightest suspicion Of rregulArty the
application would have been refused. by inserting
this in your Journal you will do act OF justice 10
the College, and confer favor on
Tours, very respectfully, II. RAND,
Dean OF the Faculty Of the Philadelphia College Of
Medicine.

quAinting those who may be unfortunate enough to
be similarly afflicted, where permanent relief OF
their sutierings may be obtained feels 1t his duty to
thus publicly express his most sincere gratitude to
DR.. l. j. CEapkAy 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, una
BILE 60 perform even the most trihlng duty imposed
on the daily avOeations Of life sought the advice
OF many physicians who at hrst regarded my disease
OF trinng impOrtance-but, alas after few weeks
and in several instances, months, Of their treatment
found to my unutterAble horror that instead Of
lief, the symphonic became more alarming In their
torture; and being told BY one that my disease, be-
ing principally confined to the brain, medicine
would be Of little consequence, despaired of
regaining my health, strength and energy and
last resort and with but faint hope, called upon
Dr. CEApkay, who, after examining my case, pre-
scribed some medicine which almost instantly reliev
ed me OF the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, resolved to pace myself
Immediately under his and by strict obedience
! to all his directions and advice, my head became
/ clear, my ideas collected, the constant pain in my
back and grOi0s, the weakness Of my limbs, the
vous reaction Of my whole body on the slightest
alarm or excitement; the misanthropy and evil
foFebOdings; the sefdstrust and want Of confidence
In others the incapaOilty to study and want Of
olutiOn the frgtful, exciting, and at times pleas
urable dreams ct night, followed by involuntary dis
charges, have all disappeared; and In fact, in two
months after having consulted the Doctor, felt as II
inspired by . new fe-that life which, but y short
time ago, contemplated to end by my own hand.
With = view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into the snares Of incompetent quackS, deem it my
duty offer this testimony to the merit aud skill Of
DR.. CLapkay, and recommend him to all who may
| stand In need Of medical advice, being assured by
my own experience, that once under his care rad
