ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORRII(E.A,
with the V'ie'w of distinguishing the -imaginary from the
Real 4ufferers under this disease, and Correcting of wide-spread
Errors in relation to their Treatment and Cure.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

".nr. Plektord 's known to Engliss readers by his frequent practi-
cal contritutions to German medical literature. This is the first
dime, he informs es, that he has addressed himself to the non-medi-
sal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if ho shall detect aey
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in hi. p ewer to co.r-
rect."—Lond on Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
and Frlandi,' are mercilessly exposed and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who salter from the coin-
'taint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
)e saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
:ess Important*, though it is that which the quacks most prize--
much money ...... This volume is well. qualified to put an end to the
rnpirical systin of treating Sperzatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment, upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."
