MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF

YOUTH AND MATURITY,

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matric•ilated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medic
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c.
31AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
. the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregu'arities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stazes of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long end practical experience
in tile treatment of these diseases has proved that there arc 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 Unfruitfhl Marri-
ages, Lnpltency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost o,tire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
prineiples of personal management which cannot be violat,d w,thout
incurrin•• grievous pen, ides. and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-I,ldutgenec, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bi!terness may be r.emove:l,

and how the evil and its eon eritiences may be avoided, and above all,
t _a there r.c.,reety any degree of physical infirmity or tunctional
derangement to which the timely ald of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'AIERT has for a long series of years been engaged
In an extensive practice in the t-eatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and s the only legally qualified rhyslean who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the htpocritical 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 select,ng thi department of practice, he has been amply
rat, 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 no,trums, 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 if., and advice and

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
to rel...tion to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
.encrative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from he German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Piekfor,' 1.5 known to English readers by his frequent practi-
,al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs us, 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 it may be in his
•.ower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We oromised in a former number that we should recur to this
wdr:t, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by pi eying
on the ciedulity 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 suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treets, we are satisfied that many hindreds 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 Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
-writ upon a more rational and physiolo.9zical basis. It is, therefore,
~v.ely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

TOTE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princl•
pies 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 bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
-uch are cases ix., xi., all., and xviii. No, ix. had res sted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and six. appear, both
in duraticn, 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."
