±!, essential object of this treatise IS to point out the fearful
ii.3equences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
hq Produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
ather ?;(1 premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
echo
ted clay of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
Bch_ is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
u°l3 of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
_ne results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
re personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
to 77' Peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
uthe generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
pr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and
inviolable secrecy honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
invi' in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
eases.

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIIM ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Cleneratlve System, or Sexual Ilypoehondriasis.

Translatedfrom the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
Unlit, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-mcul -
eel reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
rower 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
than 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."—Medied 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
pnce at which the • brochure' is sold, places it within the reach of
every nue interested in the matter."—Dublin Medical Press, April
15,1852.

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
Pasted of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. Bat cases xviii. and six' appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag.

treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."
