"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
Lime, he informs us. that ho has addressed himself to the non-medi-

detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
—" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who

torrhma and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a sate guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady "—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preliminary
chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any
