THE MEDICAL ADVISER, on the modern treatment of mental and physical incapacity, &c. ; with unfailing rules and prescriptions of the speedy cure, by very simple means, of all the more common diseases and supposed incurable maladies of the sexual sys ™. By Pr. W. I'e R"os, M.D., &c, of the Ecole de Medecine, Paris, Graduate in Medicine, Surgery and Midifery ; Licentiate of the Royal Society of Apothecasies, <fc. REVIEWS AND NO TIOES. "T 0 be your own counsel or your own doctor, entails risks" that have become proverbial to a degree that prevents much good resolution from taking any beneflit or advantage when reasonably offered. Suspicion begets irresolution, and where there is no confidence >.ood results seldom follow. Medical books are a field for the faculty alone, and the public act wisely in refraining from their study. ' Drink deep or taste not the Pierian spring" is good advice where the uninformed mind listening to its own apprehensions, is oftencr ready to imagine than nse its cool judgment. ' There is one class of medicul lore, however that stands in a position somewhat exceptional to ouj remark, and which treats on disorders and irregularities in which morality is offended. For this reason the patient ioo often suffers in sectet, or pursues in ignorance practices that daily luing him into a more hopeless condition for want of frendly advice. To Buch we recommend a perusal of (he ' Medical Adviser' of Walter D • Roos, M.D., of Dondon, an established Physician, grndnate, and licentiate of all the regular institutions of London and Paris ; and who has made neavous disorders and their baneful origin his particular Study, and obtained such a practice in this brauch of fherapcufes, as qualifies him to be a safe and competent adviser."— Country Adxiser, May 7th, 1861. "The Medical Adviser, by Walter De Roos, M.D., for the class of diseases upon which it treats, is undoubtedly the best add most soundly practical book which has come under our notice. The Author is a a man of most enlarged experience.— Deerby Telegraph, June, 29th, 1861. "To those who contemplate marriage its perusal especially recommended." — Bap. Mag. " The knowledge it imparts must come some time, and happy they ■who do not possess it too late."— Politician. " Cure is certain in every curable case, and few indeed are they which are not so."— Med. Review. "It is calculated to effect a complete revolution to the treatment of these complaints."— Med Gaz. " Simple and inexpensive, every sufferer may cure himself speedly, privately, and at the least possible cost."— Scalpel. From long practical observation of the treatment purse;! in the most famours Institutions of this country and the continent, for those diseases referred to in the isl'ore work, the Proprietor has had somewhat unusual faciliites fof acquiring that uniform success which has hitherto characterized his practice, in which the distressing consequences resulting from the injurious employment of mercury, capivi, sarsapirilla, and einiilar dnrgerous medicines are entirely obviated. Lasting benefit in three cases can only be reasonably expected at theVhands of tohse who devote their chief attention to Htich diseases ; and to such only can confidence be extended. Dr. De R. refers with pride to the numbers he has # ten instrumental in restoring to health and hnppineC: ; whilst to all who need such aid he offers every assuranoe o r speedy restoration. Foreign residents can be successfully treated by correspondence, on sending the detail at their case ; with a Bank note or Bill on a London house for £5 or £lO, in order that a- package of medicine to meet the exegencies of the case, may be sent out by next mail; thus avoiding the protracted suffering and unnecessary oss of valuable time, which must otherwise occur.
