ON TRUE Jr FALSE SPERMATORRJEICEA,
with the Viewl: o the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and C rre of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondritusis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
• • -

"Dr. Pick ford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, 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
cower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We Promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wars, 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 suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many lundreds 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 Princi-
ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

"In proof of his ;laws he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
he history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii.' and xvi". No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve yee-s, the treatment by dilitation' and was finally
temoved in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, both
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Byrne, and yet tha
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently saccessibl."
