ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIICEA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative Sy,tem, or Sexual Ilypochondriasis.
Translated from •he German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickfor I is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
2al contributions to German medical litersture. This is the first
line, he informs us, that he 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
:Ilan to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
torrhcea 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 a, 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
88,1852.

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 yeas, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duratioi, 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 saccessfhl."
