ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ;
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 Bypochrondriasis. Translated from
the German of Dr. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
Dr. Pickfor3 is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, that be has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he 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-
torrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are

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, PR ACTICAL
OBSERVATION'S 05 THE TREATMENT OF SPERMATORR-
HCEA BY CAUTERIZATION ; its Inefficiency and Danger.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"There who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments The practice of
tiur-
geons has been mar":ed 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 successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. Le. had re fisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, bo
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syna,e, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."
—Professor Lizars on the Treatment of Stricture.
