be stated that no periat could he selected more opportune for com-
mencing-=tht whole expense being but Twenty-six Shillings per an-
num, exclusive of double numbers, which are issued on rare 'ocea-
Abets, when it would be impossible to crowd the important everts

QUACKS UNMASKED
The Third Edition.—Just published, price 55., by post, free, ss. 6d.
ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREICEA,
with the View of distingulshing the. Imaginary from the
Real Sufferers under this disease, and C rrecting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure. Frt.m the German
of Dr. PICKFORD. With an Introlaction by the Editor, containing
a complete exposure of the system of terrorism and extortion pursued
by the advertising quacks of the metropolis towards those who are
credulous enough to seek their aid.
" Dr. Pickford le known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the noss-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his .ewer to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ` Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who stiffer from the 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 Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."
