For these and other Life-boat services the Institution has
voted £1,893 as rewards to the crews of the Lifeboats. It has
also granted re xarcis , mounting to £515 10s. for saving 173
shipwrecked persons, by shore-boats and other means, mak-
ing w total of 871 persons saved from a watery grave during
the last two years.
The number of lives saved by the rite-boats of the Society,
and other means, since its formation, is upwarus or
for which services 82 Gold Medals, 704 Silver Medals, and
£15,250 in cash have been granted as rewards. The Institu-
tion has also expended £57,200 on Life-boat Establishments.
The public cannot but sympathise with the vigorous efforts
now being made by the Society to save the lives of Ship-
wrecked Crews. Their help was never more needed than at
the present time, when, through the extraordinary exertions
the Society has made within the past few years, it has now
One Hundred and Twenty-one Life-boats under its man-
agement, tor the maintenance of which, in a state of thorough
efficiency, a large permanent annual income is absolutely
needed, if its humane mission is to be perpetuated.

ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRIREA ;
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De-
bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that 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.
" 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 Spermatorrhoea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe mtide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary 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."—
