SECOND EDITION.—WITII ADDITIONS.
Just published, Bvo., in cloth, price 55., by post tree, ss. 6d.
IN TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRH(EA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from he German of Dr. PICKFORD

''Dr. Bickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cll contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs es, that ho has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his .ower to correct."
—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851. The tribe of 'Quiet Sympa-
hi sers,' and' Medical Fri ands,'are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who saffer from the 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 Spermatorrhata, and to place the treat-
mint upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.
London: H. Balliere, 219, Regent-street.

110 the CHARITABLE.—Members of Societies
and others, now preparinc their customary, gifts to the Poor
at this inclement season, are advised that FLANNELS, BLANKETS,
and all similar materials, calculated to give not merely an empty
appearance, but the actual warmth and usefulness intended by
benevolent donors ; such are SELLING OFF at a great reduction
from their actual value, in consequence of the recent dissolution
of Partnership, at Warwick House, 142 and 144, Regent-street.

CHRISTMAS GIFTS.—It is truly said that
few things form a more welcome Present than an elegant
SiIAWL, a Mantle, or Silk Dress, than can now be obtained at half
their real value, owing to the Retirement of Mr. Merrett, and the
necessity for an immediate SELLING OFF. Every article is marked
in plain figures, and will fully sustain the high reputation enjoyed
during a quarter of a century by Warwick House, 142 and 144,
Regent-street, London.

DELETERIOUS CONFECTIONARY.—Many
children having been poisoned by eating the ornaments of
twelfth cakes, in consequence of the general use of mineral colours
by confectioners, Messrs. PURSSELL, 78, Cornhill, near the Ex-
change, have introduced an entirely novel method of DECORATING
their CAKES with FRENCH BON BONS, &c., of delicious flavour;
the colours, being prepared solely from vegetables, are quite harmless.
Ornamented cakes of every variety, suitable for country presents,
new year's gifts, &c. A great variety of fancy French and Swiss
pastry, mince pies, &c.—Messrs. Purssell, 78, Comhill, near the Ex-
change only.
