STRICTURE AND SYPHILIS PRACTICALLY CON-
SIDERED, BY T. BARTLETT, ESQ. - Pipers, Paternoster-row.
This is a valuable essay on diseases of a very formidable
character. It is written by a surgeon, who has evidently
acquired considerable experience in such cases, which he has
given to the public in a readable and not expensive manner.
We recommend all afflicted persons to peruse this work for
themselves, as we feel assured that they will the eby derive
much valuable information, and after a carefel scrutiny of it,
we feel no hesitation in expressing our belief, that it will be
the means of effecting a great dellof practical good.
