ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual ITypochonciriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICRFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall
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 profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcca and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
accurately described, and thus a safe 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 notice of
the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
price at which the ' brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
18,1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi-
ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms. To which is added, PRACTICAL
OBSERVATIONS ON TIIE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR-
EREA BY CAUTERIZATION ; its Inefficiency and Danger.

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments
geons has been mar'ied with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, and a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—.John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has
given the history of a great many cases successful!), treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duratio's, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently
,successful."
