burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences • resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
• the personal supervision of Dr. La'3fert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
eases.

In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the

Translated ftom 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
time, he informs us, that be 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
rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, 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 stiffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering or 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.

TEE CURE OF STRICTURE OF TITE URETHRA, en Princi-

and apparently Intractable Forms.

BY F. B. COURTENAY, •
Member of the Royal Colkgi of Surgeons of England.
.• in proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
he history of a great many eases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., x. 11.. and xvill. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dllitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviil. and xix. 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 aaccenful."
