ay SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,

D:ctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
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 of 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 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
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 }tad
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these

cases.

"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors wl.o make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet symathisers,'
raid ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; atid if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer fr m the com-
plaint of which it tre its, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of leocly and mind, and what is of
less importance, th,,uah it is that which the quacks most prize—
much it oney ...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Svermatorrlcea, and to place the ti eat-
ment upon a more ra,ional and ph)siological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medi: al Circular, June 16, 1852.
