ON TRUE AN FALSE SPERMATORRIREA,
with the View t o the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Care of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Ilypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, 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
power to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
.‘ We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
work, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
9uaientdSylfmtahtihsishez:
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by Preyin
on the credulity of the public. The triebexpoofsed.
and ' Medical Friends,' arc mercilessly
could find its
way into the hands of those who sailer from th co-
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
uch m0ney...... 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."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.
