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. PICKFOIiD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—" Dr. Pickfori is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, hq informs as, 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 Otter has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this
distressing Malady by translating this little book, and by laying pare
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- i

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 soli, places it within the reach of
every one interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April

INAUGURATION OF THE STATUE OF
THE LATE SIR ROBERT PEEL.
A ceremony peculiarly interesting in its character took
place at
,Tamwerth. on Friday—
the inauguration of a
statue to the memory of one of the greatest of Eng-
land's atateimen in the town which he had for so long a
period represented, and near which he for the greater
part of his life resided. We have no tivne to dwell upon
the details of a ceremony which brought to witness it all
the gentry from the surrounding district, large numbers
of persons from the neighbouring manufacturing town
of Birmingham, and in which the mayor and corpora-
tion, several members of the family of the late Sir
Robert Peel, and other persons of distinctisn took part.
Suffice it to say that in front of the old Town-hall at
Tarnworth; on a massive granite pedestal, there now
stands a majestic statue of the second Sir Robert Peel—
of .him for whom a nation mourned.
The statue, which is in bronze, is a very striking like-
ness of the Right Hon. Baronet; the size is 8 feet 4
inches; the attitude is good, and the peculiarity of
feature which characterised Sir. Robert is well developed.
The artist is Mr. Matthew Noble, who ha's certainly
done the fullest justice to the great work entrusted to
him.

At two o'clock in the afternoon the final ceremony of
inauguration took place in the open air, opposite to the
statue. On the platform were Sir Charles Clarke, the
player and corporation of Tana-meth, Sir Robert Peel,
Mr. Fred. Peel, M.P., Captain Townshend, M.P., Cap.
fain Pee}, C. H. Bracebridge, Esq., of Atherstone-hell,
and a number of other persons of distinction in the neigh-
beurhootl.

Sir CHARLES CLARRE stepped forward and said—
Ladies rine- gentleman, the oceesion which brings es
together this day must be looked upon as one of a mourn-
ful character; but the blow having been struck, it is our
duty to eutinast, tot to question the will of Biz who
orders, and who expects to be obeyed. Many

late Sir Rebert Peel; to such as aro not I may perhaps
be permitted to say that as EOM as possible after in-
telligence reached us of the death of our good friend steps
were taken with a vier to carry out some design, such

statue should always be in the

place or Tamwortb, opposite to that Town-hall from
which his eloquence had so often rung and charrnel, not
only the hearts of his hearers, but by his good Rene
enchained their understandings.—(Hear, hear.) Words
occupy but a small space—they are born, they live for
a
briet time, and their echoes as briefly die away. Actions
remain—the test of a public man's sincerity, and ofth
amount of good or evil he effects for his fellow-creatures —SC hears.) The next question that presented itself for ou . consideration was the material to be employed for thi.
statue; if this had been an Italian clime, or the statu e
roofed edifice, Carrara marble would have been e-
ployed; but in this case there were substantial reasons why a more durable material should be used; vee • h that the statue should be in the air, of suchlivis-e-

which laid Sir Robert Peel low, and called upon a
him for
that debt which all must pay; the world was bleu to
him nothing—he had been to it everything; and by
the
statue the first of four positions was represented: his
back was turned on the great assembly in which he
played for so many years so conspicuous a part, the
House of Commons; let us hope that he has found ahome
in heaven. On the rieht of the statue was the church
in which he worshipped; on the left, in the distance,
was the magnificent palace which he built, and which
he lived not long to inhabit; whilst, lastly, his face was
turned to the district where he was born—to that
county whore the wealth of his father was honestly and
honourably obtained.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, Sir
Charles Clarke finally presented to the Mayor of 'ram_
worth the statue of Sir Robert Peel. He charged hire to
protect it as he would a neighbour and a friend in diffi-
culty; he asked this from succeeding mayors, and from
the town of Tamworth; he charged them to protect the
statue of the great Sir Robert Peel as an erudite scholar,
as an accomplished gentleman, as an able and ambitious
Member of Parliament. He harged the town to pretec,
the statue of Sir Robert Peel as a good and a religionh:
man; of one thoroughly attached to the town to which
and to whom he and they had been thoroughly attached,
and he had little doubt, he said, that the charge would
be fully appreciated and cerried into effect.--(Cheers.)
The MAYOR (W. Knight, E: in in a few graceful
sentences, accepted the trust, and pledged himself to see
