MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
YOUTH AND MATURITY.

DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, and Matricelated Member of the University of
Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical
Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, So., &c.
MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
is the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist-
ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified l'hysician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
rem arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters mast contain the fee of 11., and advice and
medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address.
It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT
should first obtain a copy of his work on

ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View: o the Corrgetion of wide-spread Errors
in relation to the Treatmeit and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, 1r Sexual Hypochondriasis.
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
sower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wpric, in order to exhibit its aim wore 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 saffer 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 IroneY • • —.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.

TUE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Tenet-
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
he history of a great many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which he had operated.
Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and six. appear, both
in duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet Ur! treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently saccessfhl."

BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS. The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi-
cacy of this medicine :
" 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850.
" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex-
p eriencehat I d by takin
but g BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS,
who may be similarly affected.
I feel tam performing a duty to that portion of the public
" About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout
in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va-
riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and
in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro-
cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief,
and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some-
thing of this disease.
" It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir-
teenyears ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I
I
time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity
the
st no
pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect
health. _

...
" From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis-
ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to
.me is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have
ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause.
Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf-
fered. but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS
is towards its improvement.
"I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result
has always bees of the most gratifying character.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
"GARRET FOSTER GILL.
