ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA,
with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Troatmeat and Cure of Sufferers froid Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondritsis.
Translated ftom the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
Al contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
.ime, he informs us, that he has addressed blmself 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
+ewer to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wort, 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 bands of those who suffer 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 put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhosa, and to place the treat-
wont upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
iknly to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF' THE URETHRA, on Prim'.
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
history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
any which Mr. Syme aidaced, and on which he had operated.
such are cases ix., xi.. alt., and xsili. No. ix. had res ate& for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dfiltation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases as .14. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any deteled by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."
