Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFOIiD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practl-
zal contributions to Gorman medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, that ho has addressed himself to the non-medi-
cal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall detect any
other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cor-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of • Quiet Sympathisers,'
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those wile suffer from the corn-

I be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
;ass importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize--
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhoca, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and phyAiologic basis. It is, therefbre,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.al
