ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRINEA. ;
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. PICKFORD, of the University of Heidelberg.
—" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, 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 eAitor 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-
torrhma 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.
—" 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

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS ON TEE TREATMENT. OF

BY F. B. COURTENAY,

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

"Those who complain most loudly are those only who know not
how to use the common instruments
geons has been mar:ed with all kinds of violence, an indifference
about the simple cure of diseases, amid a passion for operations and
all the excesses and horrors of surgery."—John Bell's Surgical
Observations.—" In pro .f of his views he ('Sr. 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. ix.. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xvili, and xix. appear, both
in duration, 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 successful."

The Aquila, a Scotch vessel, was built last season,l
and, in October, won the Commodore's Cup, given on
the occasion of the Queen's visit to this port.
Queen of the Isle; a now schooner, built here, is a
very beautiful vessel, but it is doubtful if they will be
able to find her trim, as she is scarcely out of the
riggers' hands. -
The Tartar, winner of the cup last year, it is staid,
will show with a longer bow than ever. She sailed so
well, when last amongst us, that it seems a pity to touch
her.
The celebrated Vision has, also, been altered, but
only slightly, and, we hope, to her advantage. It is to
be regretted that neither tho Irish Lily, 80 tons, sloop-
rigged, and sails with horizontal seams, nor the Overton,
40 tons, just launched at Preston, could be got ready for
the match.

Withsuch an entry, should the day prove fair, a most

cannot help wishing, for the sake of advancement and
imprevement. The, new craft may prove. victorious.
Had the Irish Lily and Overton been ready, six new
yachts would have contended against seven old. Truly
the march of improvement is with the Royal Mersey
