CERTIFICATE-
The undersigned, desrous of acquainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af-
Aicted where permanent relief of their suferings
may be obtained, feels it his duty to thus publicly
express his most sincere gratitude to DR., 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, unable to
perform the most triaing duty imposed by the
daily avocations of life, sought the advice of ma
ny physicians, who at first regarded my disease
of trifng Importance but alas, after few weeks
and, several instances, months of their treatment
II fcand, to my unutterabe horror, that instead of
relief, my symptoms became more alarming in
their torture ; and being told oy that my dis
case being principally confined to the brain, medi-
cine would be of little consequence, despaired of
ever regaining 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. Encouraged by the result, / resolved to
place myself under his care, and, by strict obedi
ence to all his instructions and advice my head be-
came clear, my ideas collected the constant pain in
my back and groins, the weakness of my limbs, the
nervous reaction of my whole body the slightest
alarm excitement, the misanthropy and evil
forehodings, the selfdstrust and want of confidence
in Others, the incapability study the want of
solution, the fghtful, exciting, and at times pleas
urable dreams by night, followed by involuntary
discharges, have all disappeared, and, in fact in
tFo months after having consulted the Doctor
felt as if inspired by a life-that life which,
short time ago, / contemplated to end with my own
hand
With a view to guard the unfortunate from fall
ing into the snares of incompetent quacks deem
it my duty offer this testimony to the merits and
skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recommend him to aIl
who may stand in need of medical advice, being
assured by my own experience that, once under his

The almost miraculous cure that has been effected

of ease. Several years ago my health began to
fail l attacked by general weakness and de-

ance and expended large amounts, but without the
least beneficial result. That fell destroyer, CON

piled to DR., L. J. Czapkay, and am now well and

press the emotions of deepest gratitude experience
when realizing the immeasurable service have re-
ceived at the hands of DR., Czapkay, and feel re-
oced that it is at least in my power to tender this
feeble recognition of his great skill and capacity

The facts in reference to this demonstration

The rebels first entered Morgantown, Vir-

by tie Mayor with i flag of truce, who surfen

hours and then returned to Ryan's farm, six

Hundreds Of horses were stolen. On Tuesday
night. the rebels attempted to cross Cheat

high water, and to the fact that all tie boats
were on the uuion side Of the river.
There is reason to believe that the object
was to secure plunder In Green and Fayette
