ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRIREA,
with the View of distinguishing the Imaginary from the
Real sufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. Picktoril 's known to English readers by his frequent practi-
..i contributionF to German medical literature. This is the first
me. he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
:al reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall tetect any
,ther equally flagrant evil which it may be in his rower to cor-
,ect." —London Medical Gazette. "The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,'
Mel ' Medical mends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this hook
Nould find its wv into the hands of those who suffer from the corn-
'taint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
le, saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
'ess importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical sy,tem of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational an" oh,iolocieal basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.
