The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
txmsequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision ,)f Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
egelly qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
altimate cure are described In detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolaifie secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
cases.

A Bill embracing the proposed objects of the present Company was
before the last Parliament, when, after passing the Standing Orders
and the first and second reading, it was submitted to the Select
Committee on the Metropolis Water Supply. The Government and
the other Bills occupied the attention of the Committee till the latter
enl of May, when this Bill was called on, and the evidence gone
into ; but from the improbability of being able to pass the Bill through
the 'lease of Lords in that Parliament, and in order to avoid large
and useless expenditure, by the advice of Counsel, it was withdrawn,
upon the understanding that the same measure would be proceeded
with in the next Parliament.
The Metropolis Water Bill passed last Session removes all uncer-
tainty as to the extent of interference by the Legislature with regard
to Water Companies, thereby enabling the Promoters of this Under-
taking to frame their measures to meet all the requirements of the
New Act, and likewise to offer to the capitalist a perfectly secure
means oiinvestment.
The Water of the River Wandle has long been celebrated for its
great purity, and its recent analysis by eminent chemists, fully con-
firm the high character given to it by the late Mr. Telford and Dr.
Rostock, in their examination by the Government Commissioners on
Water i-upply.
EVery Householder South of the Thames paying Water Rates, is
aware of the high charge for the present inferior and insufficient
supply. The proposed rates of this Company will be upon a much
lower scale. It will thus be evident that upon the point of economy
alone, they must command the preference of consumers; but when
the purity of the water is considered, and that the supply will be
constAnt and unlimited, all competition will necessarily be su-
perseded.
altF ough inordinate profits are not contemplated by th's Com-
pany, yet it is firmly believed, looking at the vast extent of the
:gluey District, and the daly increase of buildings there, that the
present undertaking Nt ill afford an Immediate, sound, and steady
investment for capital, with every prospect that the maximum di-
vidend, now alioweA by the Legislature, namely, 101 per cent., will
be speedily attained; proposals having already been made by large
consumers, to take several millions of gallons daily.
After payment of the Deposit, no call will be made until an Act
be obtained, in which it will be provided that no Call shall exceed
1/. per Share, or be made at more frequent intervals than three
months.
Applications for Shares to be made to the Brokers; or to the
secretary, at the Offices of the Company, No. 28, Cornhill, where
the plans and models of Mr. Thompson's SUBTEURANEOUS RESER-
veins may be seen, and detailed information obtained.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
'al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
tine, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the no
?al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if b°:lnedi-
shall
letett any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
ewer to correct"--London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851.
*" We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its ,aim more cledrly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preyinc,
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers;
and ' Medical Friends; are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer fr nil the com-
plaint of which it tre ,ts, we are satisfied that m iny hundreds would
he saved much needless suffering of k)ody and mind, and what is of
less importance, thtugh 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 Sperrnatorrlcea,

thereforethe treat-
ment upon a more rational and physioloqical is, ,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.
