Translated from •he German of Dr. PICKFORD.
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
time, he informs as, 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-
rect.”—London Medical Gazette. " The tribe of Quiet Sympathisers,'
snd "Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed; and if this book
'nuld find Its way into the hands of those wise safer from the com-
laint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
bo rtved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
mucb money...". This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhoea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,
ikely to do much good;"—Medical Circular.

ha essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation In Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of dis ace known to modern pathologists. • Its perusal is
particulArly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their phys c l cmdition, end who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
entitled.

It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
principles of personal management which cannot be violated with-
out incurriog grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc-
ceed the heyday of Inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences maybe avoided, and, above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

COCK-EIGHTS IN LIVERPOOL—At the police-court, on
Saturday, befgre Mr. R. Shell, Mr. James Clarke, pub-
lican, of Boughton-street, was summoned for permitting
the construction of a cock-pit in his house, and allowing
cock-fighting, on Wednesday last. Inspector Tomlinson
stated that, about half-past 1 o'clock in the afternoon
of that day, be went into the defendant's house, and on
going no stairs he found one of the rooms crowded by
about 100 persons assembled round a "cock-pit" built
of sods, and two combatants already engaged. On his
entering the room the spectators made a rush down stairs,
and the officer captured the two contending birds-, and
five others which were in full trim, rea'ly for other en-
counters. Mr. Daggers, attorney, defended Clarke,
contending that he was justified in what he had done by
the time-honoured custom of cock-fights in Easter, and
that the bumbler classes bad as much right to prosecute
their games and pastimes as those in more favoured
walks of life. This argument did 'not influence the
bench, who fined the defendant 51. and costs. The
game-cocks remain in the possession of Mr. Superin-
tendent Clough, who will not give them up until the
owners claim them.—Liverpool Albion.
