N TRUE tt FALSE SPERMATORRFICEA ,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real °ufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. From die Gennar,
of Dr. PICKFORI ~ 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.
" stir. rickford 's known to English readers by his frequent prac,l-
- contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
tone, he informs us, that be has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect ans
other equally flagrant evil which it may be In his (iver to cor-
rect." —London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
And ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; arid if this book
could 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
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is cf
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money .... —This volume is well qualified to put an end to th,,
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."
