Translated from the German of Dr. PICKF'ORD

„ Pickforcl's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
;‘i contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
ale, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
r. reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall

"Wer to correct.”—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We tromised in a former number that we should recur to this
Watt, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
With great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying

,t1(1 Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
ould hind its way into the hands of those who stiffer from th corn-
plaint of which it treats, we arc satisfied that many h indreds would

Less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—

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 Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &C.
•Ai AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
; 1 the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
Need more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
in the treatment of these diseases has 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 forms 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 cowequenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of scien aacannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'AIERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and s 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 thi4 department of practice, he has been amply
reN, arded 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 those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home tbr consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on

SELF-PRESERVATION.
A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and
Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des-
cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and
excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct
