The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed wider
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
Ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
Will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
eases.

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors lnrelation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
tune, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medl-
',a f reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
po detect. any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
er to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
d'‘ The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
th ressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare
scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
Cure,_n a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
i"oua to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperma-
aertlicea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are
eur4telY described, and thus a safe guide is offered for the
treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular, May 5, 1852.
