ON TRUE & FALSE SPERMATORREVEA,
with a View to thl Correction of wide-spread Errors in re-
lation to its Nature, Treatment and Cure.

Translated from ,he German of Dr. PICKFORD.
To which is added,
IN ESSAY ON SEXUAL DEBILITIES.
By the Editor.
"Dr. Pickford is known to Englisle readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
ume, he informs us, that he 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-
-ect.”—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of • Quiet Sympathisers,
and ' Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
'ould find its way into the hands of those whe gaffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved runeh needles: suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money.. volume is well qualifier to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhon, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
likely to do much good."—Medical Circular.
