ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHcEA,
With the Viow to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondriasis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD

"Dr. Pickford './3 known to English readers by his frequent practi-
.tal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the nos-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, 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
with great severity the impostors-whe make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of ' Quiet Symathlsers,'
and Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; arid if this book
could find its way into the hands 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 Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is. therefore,
'itely to do much good."—Medleal Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Pend •
pies at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COURTENAT,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

"In proot of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
history of a gre,t many cases successfully treated, as bad

any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
:znch are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. IQo. ix. had rca steel, or a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xix. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a inure ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successful."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

PORTSMOUTH, MAY 20.

Rear-Admiral M. F. F. Berkeley, M. 13„ one of the
sea lords of the Admiralty, attended by the commander
in chief, Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas John Cochrane, and
Rear-Admiral Superintendent Arthur Fanshawe, went
on board the old convict-hulk Target to inspect the ar-
rangements made by Captain Chads for the supposed
destruction of a vessel of war.
The Simoom, 18 (screw iron troop-frigate), Captain
John Kingcome, arrived at Spithead this day at ten
a.m., from Dover.
The Conflict, 8, screw, hauled alongside the shears
jetty this morning, and will unship her damaged boome-
rang propeller in he course of a fortnight. She will re-
ceive another of the boomerang construction, but shorter
in the blade, more strengthy in the boss, and approach-
ing somewhat to the principle of Griffith's.
'The Dauntless, 24, screw, having paid off, was hauled
alongside the Camperdown receiving hulk this morning.
She is now in charge of the dockyard officers.
The Rolla, 6, naval apprentices' instruction-brig,
Lieut. Commander Fenwick, exercised the lads this
morning, under sail, in the use of the great guns. The
little craft was handled in the smartest manner, and in
her evolutions showed that the boys did justice to the
excellent instructions of their commander. She came
into harbour this afternoon.
