ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRINEA. ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
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 it he
reader. We trust this may not be the last,
if he shall
be in ell
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may
rower 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-
torriteea 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
a 8,1852.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, th
have produced more misery in youth, degradation in man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any

adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
