Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cil contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the noa-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 nromised 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 who make a livelihood by preying
en 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 suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many h mdreds 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 m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spennatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
ikely to do much good."—Medical Circular, June 16, 1852.

THE CURE OF STRICTURE OF THE URETHRA, on Princi-
ples at once Simple, Safe, and Efficient, in even its most Inveterate
and apparently Intractable Forms.
BY F. B. COITRTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proot of his views he (Mr. Conrtenay) has given
the 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 res'sted, for a
period of twelve years, the treatment by dilitation, and was finally
removed in as many weeks. But cases xviii. and xis. appear, boh
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet the
eatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminertiy successful."

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-
auced 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
In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist
once 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,
