be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
leas importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money --This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
metrical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
