Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Bickford Is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the drat
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nom-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last. if be shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be In his
cower to correct."—Loudon Medical Gazette, May 30, 1351.
"We bromised in a former number that we should recur to this
wor:c. 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 satTer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would
be raved 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 Spermatorrluea, and to place the treat-
.vlnt upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
41,.,-sly to do much good."—Meffical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Prinei•
plea at once Simple, Safe, 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 proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
any which Mr. Byrne adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such arc cases ix., xi., lii., and xviii. No. ix. had res sted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilltation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and Ifs. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. time, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE
MATUR SECRET
IT INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND Y.
DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUIRE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Methylated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c.
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-
duced 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 linfruitflil 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree 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 theitypocritical 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
rem 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
01 their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those 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 U., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
