THE TREATMENT of STRICTURES of the
URETHRA; showing why they so often appear In-
curable, when in reality they might be remoyed by the most
simple means.

By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R C.S.E.,

And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the

Cure-of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases
which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the ♦arious
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which
their management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

ART'S PATENT ECONOMISING GAS
BURNER, the great desideratum of the age to all con-
sumers of Gas. By its use the objections to the introduction
of Gas into private dwellings are removed, inasmuch as every
particle of gas, on reaching the orifice of the burner, is fairly
consumed, and thus the diffusion of those noxious vapours so
injurious to health, and destructive to works of art, bindings
of books, &c., is entirely prevented.
The burner can be fitted by the most inexperienced hand to
any chandelier or bracket.
May be had at the Depot, 69, Fleet-street, E.C., price Two
Shillings each : one sent on receipt 0130 postage stamps.

An erroneous impression exists that public announcements
on these disorders emanate only from unqualified persons,
but as the new Medical Act provides that none but registered
practitioners shall assume any medical title, those that are
legally qualified can readilybe distinguished—a point of great
importance in cases where secrecy, confidence, and skill are
equally requisite.
In the new edition of Self-Preservation,' facts of para
mount utility are brought together—facts appealing to the
prudence of all who are suffering from affections which in-
volve the enfeeblement and ultimate loss of those powers
without which man forfeits the dignity of nature, and sinks to
the most pitiable depths of physical and moral degradation.
in cases where the vital essences have been weakened by the
influences of tropical climates, by pernicious habits, indiscri-
minate excesses, improper diet. 'hardship, or by inindicisus
treatment, the means of cure adopted by the author, in con-
junction with the application of Local Galvanism, have gene-
rally been found successful, even in cases where recovery had
been pronounced impossible
