ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREKEA,
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 Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICSFORD
"Dr. Bickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
ctt 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 detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his 'ewer to correct."
—London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851. The tribeof ' Quiet Syma-
thisers,'and ' Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
se saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
'en importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... 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.
