The Third Edition.--Just published, price 51., by post, free, sa. 6d.
ON TRUE & FALSE SPERIVIATORRHCEA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From the German
of Dr. PICRFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
• ".Dr. Milford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
Jai contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
,they equally flagrant evil which it may be in his sower to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
zauld find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
bo saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less Importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."

JOZEAU'S COPAHINE, or SACCHARATED
C iPSULES.—CopaIba and Cubebs are, doubtless, the best
remedies, but these drugs are of a repulsive taste and odour, and
occasion colicky pains, nausea, and gastric disturbance. M. JozsAu
has succeeded i a rendering these valuable therapeutic agents perfectly
'nocuous, by increasing in his Copahine all their curative proper-
pertles. This important preparation has been adopted by the Par's
Academy of Medicine, after more than 1,001 trials in the Parrs
and different London hospitals, viz , St. Thomas's, Guy's, and Bar-
tholomew s, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland, and Legros
Clerk. (See " Lancet " Nov. 6, and Dec. 10, 1852, a cony of which
will be forwarded on application.) The Copakine, which is in the
form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in about six days,
either in recent or chronic diseases. One hundred capsules, 4s. 6d. ;
50, 2s. 9d.—To be had of the Inventor, G. Jozeau, sole French
Chemist, 49, Haymarket, London, and .8.11 the most important
chemists.

THE ESCAPB OF A BURGLAR FROM
THE MIDDLESEX .HOSPITAL.

It will be recollected that about ten weeks ago, an at-
tempt was made by two men to commit a burglary at
the house of Mr. Hume, son of the late Mr. Joseph
Hume, in Harley-street, but in doing which they
were foiled, when, in descending a ladder by which they
got from an adjoining house to its roof, a man named
Harrogan fell to the ground, whose right leg was found
to be fractured. He was taken to Middlesex Hospital,
where he was kept for about four weeks. He was to
have been brought up to Marylebone police court,
but, on the morning of the day that he was to have
appeared there, he was purloined from the hospital
by four men, between two and four o'clock a.m.
Since then every exertion has been made by detective
and other officers of the metropolitan police to retake
him, who did not succeed till Wednesday afternoon,
when, in consequence of information, two policemen of
the C division, with Vince, D division, who was in charge
of the prisoner at the hospital, went to a house in Duck-
lane, Westminster, where they found him in bed. He
was taken to Vine-street police-station, and from there
to the Middlesex Hospital, for the opinion of the surgeons
when he might be brought up for examination.

EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER.
Yesterday the prisoner, whose name is Jas. Harrogan,
was brought up from Middlesex Hospital in a cab, and
placed at the bar, before Mr. Long, charged with hay-
ing, in conjunction with another man nct in custody,

br-o-ken into the house of Mr. Wm. Burnley Hume, 18,
Upper Harley-street, with intent to steal and carry away
property therefrom.
Jane Rudd, the under-housemaid, said—At half-past
eight in the evening of the Bth September I was in my
bedroom at the top of the house, and heard a noise. I
went to the door to ascertain what was the cause thereof,
and met a fellow-servant coming up stairs. I went into
her room with her, and found that the window was
thrown completely up.
Mr. Hnme sworn—At a quarter to nine on the even-
ing in question I was called by my butler, and on going
into the servants' room I saw that the lock had been
forced open. I went out and saw two men on the roof

of No. 17. I called to them, and on asking them what
they wanted, they ran to the roof of No. 16, where a long
ladder was placed. I observed one of the men slide
down the ladder, and the other, who ran down, missed
his footing and fell into the street. I found him shortly
afterwards in custody of a policeman. He had in the
fall broken his leg.
Samuel Sharpe (the butler)—l saw the prisoner come
down the ladder, and heard him exclaim, " I have
broken my leg, take me to the hospital." I held him
until a policeman came, and I then gave him in charge.
Collard, 59 D—l took the prisoner into custody. The
other man had made his escape. Prisoner, win limped
very much, told me he had broken his leg, and after I
had conveyed him to the station-house I took him to
Middlesex Hospital. Upon looking into the vehicle,
after he had been received into the institution, I found
a "life preserver," loaded at both ends with lead, a wax
taper, and a lucifer match.
Vince, 259 D—On 22d October, at 12 at night, I was
on duty at the hospital, having been ordered to be there
to keep watch upon the prisoner. He was in bed in a
ward on the ground floor. At about half-past 12 the
nurse said to me, "Will you have a glass of gin I" I
did so, and laid down, and at half-past one I fell asleep.
I awoke between two and three o'clock and found, to my
great surprise, that the prisoner had made hie escape.
Mr. Loug (to Inspector Jackson)—ls this witness still

in the force ? -
Inspector—Yes, sir ; he has not been dismissed, but
has been suspended from the period of the occurrence.
The witness Tince added—l heard that the prisoner
had been carried out. Search was made everywhere about
the place for him, but he could nowhere be met with. It
was ascertained that a lock had been taken off a door
leading into a mews by the side of the hospital, and
through that door the prisoner had undoubtedly been
removed away.
Sergeant Knight, 19 D, produced three picklock keys,
which he picked up at the corner of Devonshire-street
and "Upper Harley-street, on the evening of the house
being broken into.
Silvester, 323 A, said—l, accompanied by Joy, 187,
and Cole, 157 C, went yesterday to a house in Duck-lane,
Westminster, and in the first floor front room found the
prisoner lying on a bed. I told him he must consider him-
self in custody for breaking into Mr. Hume's house, and
escaping from the tarpsital on the 22d, when he said he
hoped I would not ill-use him, and that he would go
quietly. I took him in a cab to the Vine-street station-
house, where he was seen by the divisional surgeon, by
whose direction he was again taken to the hospital.
Inspector Jackson said, by direction of Mr. Hughes,
the superintendent, he brought the prisoner up to the
court, and that on he (witness) giving ',him to under-
stand what he was charged with, the only observation
he made was, " I have sent for my solicitor ; will the
case be gone through to-day 1"
The prisoner, who had now nothing to say in anstweenr.
