ffedical. matter of sincere congratulation to note that Surgeon Beaney, F.R.C.S, has come tothe rescue of these victims of misplaced confidence by the publication of a valuable and scientific work on " Constitutional Syphilis " in its secondary and tertiary phases. It treats in a popular form of the nature and diffusion of a frightful disorder, unhappily but too well known, and always 'more or less prevalent among a large or settled population. — Weekly Leader, Hokifcika New Zealand. We are also of opinion Dr Beaney deserves the thanks of the community for grasping fearlessly and courageously this subject, and overcoming the barrier of prudery and mistaken delicacy thafc has hindered many able men from giving their earnest attentiou to the alleviation of suffering by 'thousands of cheir fellow creatures. Syphilis, in its multifarous stages and forms, is the most interesting branch of medical social science. Dr Diday says of it : — " It remains always pure and scientific, despite the contact of charlatanism and speculation; and I ask, does it not enjoy a kind of privilege (shall I say it, notwithstanding its origin) which distinguished it, and raises it above all other specialities ?" Dr Beaney has treated his ' subject with care, and, while always preserving his dignity and ensuring the respect of the reader, has cast to the winds that prudery that would militate against the thorough exposure he seeks for bis experience and diagnosis. — Western Independent, Bathurst. Mr Beaney treats the hideous malady in a most exhaustive manner, showing the subtlety, the virulence, and the far-reaching consequences of its. operation, revealing with sufficient clearness to the non-professional reader the terrible nature of the secondary and tertiary phases of the disease, and explaining the premonitory symptoms It is to be regretted that the warnings contained in a work of this kind could not be conveyed in a simple, intelligible, and impressive form to all young men on i ntering life, for the prevention or counteraction of one of the deadliest; scourges of fche human race, and one of the remote causes of physical maladies and mental sufferings innumerable. — Australasian.

THE GENERATIVE SYSTEM: And its functions in Health and Disease, BY JAMES GEORaE BEANEY, F.R.C.S.E., Formerly on the Medical Staff of Her Majesty's Military Forces, the Turkish Contingent, and Royal Victorian Artillery Regiment. Senior Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital. pirst division : The Generative Organs, and their functions in their Normal Condition. SECOND DIVI3ION : The Generative Organs, and their functions in their Abnormal Condition. Publisher, F. F. Bailliere : 104 Collins street East, Melbourne. "Will be universally studied and appreciated by all true lovers of our fallen humanity, by the philanthropist, and by the legislator." — Sydney Morning Herald. " ' The Generative System' takes a sweeping view of the danger into which bad example and uneducated instincts lead the youth of the Colony." — Melbourne Age. "The manner in whicb it is got up is a credit both to the colony and to all concerned in it." — Melbourne Argus. " A work for men alone, relating as ifc does to matters of which they ought not to be in ignorance." — Melbourne Daily Telegraph. "Deals with an important subject, of which non-professional men might with advantage know more." — Melbourne Herald. " Contains all and every information it is desirable a child of either sex should know : judiciously used, it should become a safeguard against the many rocks found in the sea of life, upon which so many young people founder." — St. Arnaud Mercury. "It is an undoubted facfc thafc more disease and misery is engendered in families in consequence of the ignorance that prevails about this subject, than from almost any other cause, even including excessive drinking. We advocate the perusal of this work by all reasoning men and women." — Wangaratta Dispatch. "Calculated to improve the knowledge and elevate the ideas of the masses." — Bendigo Advartiser. This work has been written with a desire to alleviate much of the misery caused by imperfect knowledge of th« functions of the organs of reproduction. To those not familiar with this important subject, it is clear that definite information of a physiological character will be found of inestimable advantage, by supplying intelligent guidance in the conduct of sexual life, -and to those we advise the perusal of so valuable a book.— Marlborough Express. " The last new work goes elaborately iuto the evils, mental, mora!, and social, connected with the violation of natural laws ; and it refers, at length, to the carelessness of parents, and to the same fault iv schoolmasters — in fact, the arguments apply to all who have the care cf youth of both sexeß. It deals copiously with the laws of prevention of these evils, the causes of which do not often trouble the medical practitioner, whose chief duty, generally, conssists in curing diseases. Dr Beaney takes a philosophical view of the causes thafc lead to certain dan gers when the laws of health are violated This makes his works, which are generally written plainly, but forcibly, and are supported by lenghy extracts from high authorities, so acceptable to the general reader, who, at tbe risk of being charged with prurient curiosity, feels desirous of looking into these important matters. We can recommend the work in particular to . all classes, for none need be shocked by examining for themselves." — Pastoral Times. "Mr Beaney handles his subjects delicately and firmly, without being offensive ; he lays the bare facts, and the consequences of early dissipation and folly, clearly before his eader j he gives the results of his long, varied, and extensive practices to the public, accompanied with good sound advice. Foremoat amongst which is 'Do not, in your suffering, and from a feeling of false delicacy, put your life, or what is of more importance, your health, ih the hands of quacks ; but unbosom yourself to a respectable professional man ' The works in question will repay any one for their perusal, and no doubt were the facts which he explains better understood by the multitude, the animal bills of lingering death, blighted hopes, and mortality, would be very considerably lessened. " Murrurundi Times. " The Generative System, and its functions in Health and Disease. — This work is a valuable addition to thab class of medical literature which has, through false delicacy, been neglected by medical men of standing and positiorj, and therefore used and abused by charlatans.
