Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by hie frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. 1h s is the first
time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself o the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not bo the I. St if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it ...ay be in his
Power to correct."—London Medical Gazette. May 30, 1851.
We nromised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more 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 mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, 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 Ind an end to the
'empirical system of treating Spermatorrho3a, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is. therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medicai Circular, June 16, 1852.

TUE CURE OF STRICTURE OF TILE URETHRA, on Pend-

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
proot of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) given
the history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which be had operated.
Such are cases ix., xl., xii., and xviii. No. Ix. had res sled, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xvill, and six. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. time, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently Successful."
