37. BEDFORD-SQUARE. LONDON.
Doctor of Medicine. Matriculated Member of the University of Ndinb
burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member
of the London Hospital Medical Society, &c.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Azatomy and Physielogy of the Reproductive Organs. It nn-
fertmately happens that the unhappy 7ictim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified PhYsi-
clan for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
once, which has reference almost Dolely to the treatment of these
diseases.
