Trankatedfrom 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 himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
:elect 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
work, 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 hands of those who saffcr from th com-
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—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhma, 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.

BY P. B. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
"In proof of his views he (Mr. Courtenay) has given
be history of a groat many cases successfully treated, as bad
as any which Mr. Syme adduced, and on which ho 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 xix. appear, both
In duration, severity, and complication of symptoms, of a more ag-
gravated character than any detailed by Mr. Syme, and yet th 2,
treatment adopted by Mr. Courtenay proved eminently successild."
