MEDICAL ADVICE'ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA.'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., Scc.

MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
. the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
iticed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps lay other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. lore; end practical experience
-In the treatment otthese diseases ham proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various Corms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages. Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con-equences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any decree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and a the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on then who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and alvice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford ss 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 noa-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
sower to correct."—London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851.
"We Promised in a former number that we should recur to this
war's, 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 h mdreds would
be eaved 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
*mpirical system of treating Spermatorrhrea, and to place the treat-
-gent upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
`iltely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi•
pies at once Simple, Sate, 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 proot of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which ho had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had Rs sted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
re noved in as many weeks. But cases xviii. 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 successful."
