ON TRUE dr FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA,
with the View of distinguishing the Image nary 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. Piekford Is known to English readers by his fruqui int practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that he has addressed himself to the z son-medi-
cal reader: We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall letect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his pow per to cor-
rect.n—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of ' Quiet gym p ‘thisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if -dais 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 hundre de would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and Ng hat is of
tees importance, though it is that which the quacks mos t prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an e nd to the
empirical system of treating Bpermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, • therefore,
likelyito do mach good."—Modical Circular.
