DR.. l.. CZApk1t Tor the p"rma ent recovery uf his
health Borne down by the distressing symptoms
incident to the vicious practices Of uncomfortable
passicn in youth depressed in body and mind, una.
BILE to perform even the most trfiing duty imposed
on the daily avoca,onS Of life, sought the advice
OF many physicians who at first regarded my disease
OF trifing mporance-but, alas =. after few weeks,
and in several instances, months, Of their treatment
found TO my unuerable horror, that in stead Of re-
lief, the symptoms became more alarming 10 their
torture and, being told by that my disease be-
ing principally confined tu the brain, medicine
would b. Of little consequence, deNpaired OF
reggiDing my health, strength and energy and as
last resort. and with but a faint hope, called upon
DR.. CZapGay, who, after examining my case, pre-
scrbed some medicine which almost instantly reliev-
ed NE Of the dull pain and dizziness in my head
Encouraged by this result, resolved to place myself
Immediately under his care and by strict obedience
to all his directions and advice, nv head became
clear, my ideas collected, the constant pain in my
back and grons, The weakness of my limbs, the ner
vous reaction Of my whole body the slightest
alarm or excitement; the miSanthropy and evil
forebOdngs the self distrust and want Of confidence
in others; the incapa0ty TO study and want OF res
oution the frghtful, exciting, and at times pleas.
urable dreams at 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 life-that life which, but a 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 II NV
duty to offer this testimony to the merit and skill Of
DR.. CZaDkay, and recommend him TO all who NAV
stand in need OF medical advice, being assured by
my own experience, that once under his care rad
ical and permanent cure will be effected.
