ON TRUE sk FALSE SPERMATORREREA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In eiation to the Treatmea and Cure of the Impuissant and Sexual
Hypochondriacs,
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
To which Is added, an E 3SAY en SEXUAL DEBILITY, by the

Editor,

"Dr. Pickford 'a known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall fetect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his <mar to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
thisers,'and' Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds 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 Bpermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
mant upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

TRIESEMAR, protected by Royal Letters
Patent of England, and secured by the Seals of the Ecole de
Pharmacie de Paris, and the Imperial College of Medicine, Vienna.
The long continuance of most Maladies arising from impurities,
while it tends to render detection more certain, and thus frequently
to embitter the domestic hearth, also serves to excite feelings of dis-
appointment. and to induce lowness of spirits. and other sensations
of a most painful kind. The TRIs:SEM kit effectually, in the short
space of three days, completely and entirely eradicates all traces of
these Diseases, to whatever stage they may have advanced, passess-
tug at the same time the manifest advantages of being utterly devoid
of taste or smell, and of all nauseating qualities. It may lie on the
toilet table without its use being suspected.
Sold in tin cases at I is. each, free by post, 2s. extra, divided into
separate doses, as administered by Valpeau, Lallemand , Roux,
&c. This quantity is sufficient for any case. however virulent or
protracted.—To be had Wholesale and Retail at Sanger's, Oxford-
street, and Edward's. St. Paul's Churchyard Johnston, 68, Corn_
hill ; Hannay and Co., Oxford-street, London.

FACTS PLAINLY STATED.—Every one ad-
mits the amount of care and expense necessary for the
maintenance of a fashionable and complete wardrobe. The economy
in price, the astonishing variety, and the artistic skill observed in
the productions of E. Mons and Sox, has procured an universal
popularity for their Establishment and its Branches.
The Order Department is the most efficient business in the Tailor-
ing Trade, and associates such talent, care, correctness, expedition,
and economy as cannot be imitat.d ; its general anplication includes
every fashionable order of attre ; and with the most absolute success
provides every article of dress f equired by all classes at every season
of the year.
The Hosiery and Ladles' Clothing Department is distinguished by
a magnitude and novelty of stock which it 1s impossible to describe.
The richest materials and the most sallfld execution is observable
on one hand, and the most elegant and serviceable articles on the
other ; hut in every instance the prices are very much less than
are usually hanged.
The Hats, Caps, Boots, and Shoes, &c., which are now offered by
E. Mons an . t•oft, are the mod elegant samples of manufacture,
and are unquestionably the best goods ever presented, though the
prices are exc'usively economical.
The Wholesale Department and the General Outfitting Sections at
the Establishment of E. Mons and Sox is highly advantageous to
merchants, shippers, and all classes of emigrants. The Goods are
more suitable for use or for sale than any which can be obtained;
and the very e vnomical prices charged by E. MOSES and Sox are a
source of profit to all purchasers.
CAUTION. —E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like
falsehood of " Being connected with .heir Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has n
re b^ en
to in many instances, and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OP LONDON,
