ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA,
with the View; o the Correction of wide-spread Errors
4n relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility Of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from 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 he has addressed himself to the non-meth-
flagrant evil it may be in his
cal reader. We trust this may not which last, if he shall
detect any other equally
power 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 afm 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 I 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 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 Sperrnatorrhaea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore
