Translated from the German of Dr. PICRFORD.

To which Is added, Tit; ESiAlton SEXUAL DEBILITY, by the

Editor.

"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-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. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
thisers,'and Medical Friends,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be eared much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less Importance, thomrh 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-
msnt upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much Lon on good."—Madi

FACTS PLAINLY STATED.—Every one ad-
mits the amount of care and expense necessary for the
Maintenance of a fashionable and complete wardrobe. The economy
in price, the astonishing variety, and the artistic skill obsnierved in
the productions of E. MosEs and Sox, has procured an vassal
POW arity for their Establishment and its Branches.
The Order Department is the most efficient business in the Tailor-
ing Trade, and associates such talent, care, correctness, expe
inclditudesion.
and economy as cannot be imitated ; its general application
every fashionable order of attire; and with the most
sassolute success
provides every article of dress required by all se every season
of the year.
The Hosiery and Ladies' Clothing Department is distinguished by
a magnitude and novelty of stock which it is impossible to describe.
The richest materials and the moat skilful execution is observable
on one hand, and the most elegant and serviceable articles on the
other ; but in every instance the prices are very much less than
are usually charged.
The Hats, Caps. Boots, and Shoes, &c., which are now offered by
E. Moses an 1 Pox, are the most elegant samples of manufacture,
and are unquestionably the best goods ever presented, though the
prices are exclusively economical.
The Wholesale Department and the General Outfitting Sections at
the Establishment of E. MOSES and Sox is highly advantageous to
merchants, shippers, and all classes of emigrants. The Goods are
more suitable for use or for sale than any which can be obtained;
and the very conomical prices charged by E. Moats and Sox are a
source of profit to all purchasers.
CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the
public against imposition, having learned that the untrade.sman-like
falsehood of Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's
the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances; and for
obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have
No CONNEXION WITH LNY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON,
