In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford ts known to English readers by
his frequent practi-
all contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
'hale, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the nos-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he ishall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
.ower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wort, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of
Quiet Symathisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who sailer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Pend-
pies at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even Its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.

BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views he (Mr. 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.
'uch are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. la, had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xvill, and six. 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 sacrAissful."
