MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIE% OF
YOUTII AND MA.TUMICY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Mem beer of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the L Oltdon Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, ia3ndon, &c., &c.
MAY be consulted, personally-, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and CM, iS. as, 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 a, id disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious ha Sits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhapp y and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutions I. Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entirt ) origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men sh' )uld know that there are
principles of personal management which Cf scoot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wis loin and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulges .c:e, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bi tterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con,equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physics 41 infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of sett t n aocannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long eerier of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and s the only legally qualified Ph ysician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical :us I mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of 11u public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from wi at ch no grade of society is
tree. In selecting this department of prat it ice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has at 3 nded his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too ) ;e nerally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics,
and pretended virtues
A rho, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and tit] .es,
of their patent nostrums. have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pi Ttansions.
At home for consultation daily from E leven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters must contain th, 3 fee of if., and advice and
medicines can he forwarded to any initials r address.
It is desirable that patients wishing t lo consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on

Translated from the German of Tit . PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English reader, by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical liters t are. This is the first
tame, he informs us, that he has addressed 1 it (welt to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil Na I itch it may be in his
sower to correct."—London Medical G a zette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that s ye should recur to this
Nv3r, in order to exhibit its aim more deal y. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who mak,a a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathisers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exi ,osed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those wt o suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied tha t many hindreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less Importance, though it is that which tt to quacks most prize—
much money—. —This volume is well qualii led to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea , and to place the treat-
mant 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 VIZ URETHRA, on Princi-
ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in . even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTE/ tY,
Member of the Royal College of Stv 3 :eons of England.
"In proot of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
the history of a great many cases suc g essfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and . rt t which he had operated.
such are cases ix., xi., xii.. and xvlii. l 9' ~ ix. had res.sted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by d ilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases : p riii. and xis. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication c symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed b y Mr. Syme, and yet the
t- reatment dopted by Mr. Courtenapr ved eminently successful."
