MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'M ERT, 37. BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Coctor 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.
rtir AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
®L the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
Sliced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stares 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 Ws;
once 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 Unfruitfid 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 consequenc 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 oacannot apply a care.
DOCTOR LA'MEIIT 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 this department of practice, he has been amply
rev 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.

In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickfort: 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
c d contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
t me, he Informs as, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last. if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which ft may be in his

"We tromised In a former number that we should recur to this
woes, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great s,ve,r ity 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 ihe hands of those who stiffer from th com-
plaint of which it tre .ts, we are satisfied that many hmdreds would
be rayed much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, theugh 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 Spermatorrhrea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—iliedleal Circular, June 16, 1852.

"In prolt at his views he (Mr. -Courtenay) btu raven

as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
aeh arc cases ix., xi., xii., and xvill. No. ix. had res steel, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
re neve,: !rt as many weeks. But cases xvii. and Ida. appear, both
in duration, sevcrty, 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."
