Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

".13r. PicTioro4; known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
ml reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
ether equally flagrant evil which it may be in bis plover to cor-
rezt."-1",,,nd on M 6 ilea] Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and ' Medicril Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and. if this book
coed Grid its w,..y into the hands of those who suffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
se saved ranch needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
legs importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney....., This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical sy,tem of treating iipermatorrhma, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. it is, therefore,
likely to do much good."
