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

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. rickfard is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that ho has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his :over to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, wo are satisfied that many hundreds would
he saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
tess 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."
