QELF-PRESERVATION; an
Analytical Investigation of the Physiology and Functions of
Marriage, in all the bearings in which that important subject affects
the health and happiness of Man,with its Disqualifications and Impe-
diments, tracing their origin to the effects of juvenile solitary habitcs,
Youthful excess, tropical climates, or close study ; followed by pra-
tical remarks, founded on twenty years' experience in the treatment
of Impuissance, Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhcea,
Syphilis, and all diseases of the Urinary and Generative System. Il-
lustrated by 50 coloured Engravings, on the Anatomy of the Repro-
ductive Organs and their relative conditions in Health and Disease.
By SAMUEL LAWERT. M.D.
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Et.ietor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences 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 if Dr. La'Mert. himself one of the few
egally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of me, acal science. In short,
every peculiarity re.;:ting to the treatment of the diseases incidef and
ental
to the generative system mid the means of immediate rel
ultimate 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
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

cases.

&ON TRUE FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA
- - -
with the View to tbe Correction of wide-spread Errors'
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the firs
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, it he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
Power 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 clearly. The autbor lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
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 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 of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much rroney...... 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 PllYsiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."--Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successftd."
