ON TRUE k FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
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.PICKFORD. With an Introduction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
73r the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.

" Dr. Pietford is known to English readers by his frequent praeti-
contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
,ne, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the noa-mecll-
- reader. We tract this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
;they equally flagrant evil which it may be in his 4ower to cor-
^ect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of' ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
slid 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
.ould find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
•laint of which it treats, we are satisfied that mg.ny hundreds would
)e, saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of

:Is importance, thonah it is that which the quacks most prize--
nuch money --This volume is well. qualified to put an end to th 4,
-noirical system of trelting Spermatorrhma, and to place_the treat-
cent upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much rood."
