Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Plckford 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs ns, that he has addressed himself to the
if noe-mhe shedi all
-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last,
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
rower 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 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 ymathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer frhiom thds woul com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many
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
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
the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as had
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
tr .: cases ix., xi., sit., and xviii. No. ix. had res.Eted, 'Or a
p •.-iod of twelve yea's, the treatment by dilitation, and was dually
re -oved .11 as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, hoth
in ,'.tratien, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
• treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."
