Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-

tedreader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall

The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this

a Scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to
cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object
to fill their own purses. The difference between true Sperina-
torrheea 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.

the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but the moderate
