ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View; o the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, 'at* Sexual itypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFOIM

"Dr. Pickford 's known to English readersbiiisfrequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
iime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-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
rower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, :stay to, Itsl.
" We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim snore 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 Symathisers,'
and ' -Medical Friends, are meicilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the bands of those who suffer from th 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 Spermatorrhma, and to place the
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It therefore,
treat-
likely to do much good."_Mcdical Circular, June 16, 1852,

CAITTION.-MECHPS MAGIC STROP.-
.. The Real Magic Strop," " The Double Magic Strop," " The
Magic Strop," are all base imitations of MECIII'S MAGIC STROP.
None aro genuine without Mechi's name, which imitators dare not
put on the spurious strop; yet, strange to say, many perfumers call-
ing themselves respectable, endeavour to palm this rubbish (they
cost from 3d. to sd. each in Sheffield) on the public as Mechi's genuine
strop, although they possess no sharpening properties whatever, but
the very reverse. The well-known Magic Paste is an invaluable anal•
liary to the Strop, and its renovating properties are tn'ly astonish-
ing. Mechi's Razors stand pre-eminent as well as his Table Cutlery
