CERTIFICATE.
The undersigned, desirous of acquainting those who
may be un ortunate emmph to be simiiarlr afflicted.
where a permanent relief of their suffering may be
obtained, feels it his duty to thus pnblicly express
his most sincere gratitude to Dr. 1 J. Czapkay, for tbe
ilermanent recovery f his health. Borne down bv the
distressing symptoms incident to the vicious practice of
uncontrollable passion in youth ; depressed in body and
mind ; unable to perfurui even the most trifling duty
imposed npou the daily avocations of lite. I sought the
advice of many physicians, who at first regarded mv
disease as of trifling importance bet alaf ; after a few
weeks, and in sereral instances mouths, ot their treat
ment. I found to my unutterable horror, that instead of
relief, the symptcms became more alarming in their
torture ; and being, told by one that my disease, being
pmcipauy conui.ej to ice orain, medicine would be ot
Lttle consequence. I despaired of ever regaining my
health, strength and eaergy ; and, as a last resort, and
with but a faint hope, cailcu upon Dr. Czapkay, who,
after examining my case, prestwibed some medicine
wmcn almost instantly relieved me of the dull pain
sou uminca in my neaos. LJienuraged by this result,
I resolved to f lace myself immediately under his care,
and by a strict obed:ence to his directions and advice
my head became ciear. my ideas collected, tlie constant
pam in my back aid groins, the weakness of mv limbs
the nervdus reaction of my whole body on the slicbt
est alarm or excitement: "the misanthropy and evil
forebodings; the self distrust and want of confidence
in others; the ii.cipacity to study, and want of resolu
tion: the frightful, exciting, and at times pleasnrable
dreams at ni-:lit, followed by involuntary discharges,
have all disappeared; and in'fact. ia two months after
having consulted the Doctor, I felt as if inspired by
ajiew life that life which, but a short time ao, I con
templated to eaa wnn mv own nana.
With a view to guard the unfortunate from falling
into tne snares ci incompetent q racKs. j deem it m
d'rtr to offer this tfc-tiraouy to the merit au! skill o:
Dr. Czapkay. and recommend him to all who may stand
in need of medical advice, being assured by my own
prnrocc, iuai wore unner niscare, a radical and
permanent core will be effected.

Notary Pnblic-
CARD.
Prompted by an honest desire of my heart. T wish to
lay before the public a case which deserves a hirh com
mendation, not only as an act of scientific skill, but
that of humanity, also. Abonttwo years ago, I sud
denly and from causes unknown to me" was seized with
a fit of efilefst, which, owing to my inability to meet
tbe expenses consequent upon a thoroaeh medicaltreat
ment. and the discouragement which I met with on
attempting it, soon became such (as 1 was then led to
llieve,) as to defy tbe skill of any physician. I was
frequently, while in pursuit of my calling, thrown down
to the ground without the slightest warning, and al
though insensible to the a conies, ret I despised the mis
ery of my existence. While in this state, and having
previous to myafflction tasted the sweets of life. I once
more was induced to attempt seeking aid of a physician,
and, by reconimendatinn. called upon Dr. L. J. Czap
kay. I told him my circumstances, and my inability
to reward him for his services regardless of which,
however, he at once undertook my case, and with the
blessing of God, I was once more restored to perfect
health. Unable to reward him for tbe boon which I
enjoy st present, and yet conscious of my indebted
ness. I consider it due to myself and to all afflicted, to
make the case public, in order that those in need of
medical advice may find a physician in whom every
confidence can be placed.
