Formerly on the Medical Staff of Her M ajesty’s M ilitary Forces, the Turkish Contingent, ami Royal Victorian Artillery Regiment. Senior Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital. FIRST DIVISION : The Generative Organs, and their functions in their Normal Condition. SECOND DIVISION: The Generative, Organs, and their functions in their Abnormal Condition. Publisher, F F. Bailliere, 104 Collins Street East, Melbourne. “ Will be universallly studied and appreciated by all true lovers of our fallen humanity, by the philanthropist, an ' hy the legislator. "—Sydney Morning Herald. “‘The Generative System’ takes a swiepitig view i.£ the danger into which had example and uneducated insti tets lead the youth of the Colony. Melbourne Age. “ The manner in which 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 ao it dees to matters of which they ought not to be in ignorance.”— Melbourne Daily Tele.graph. “ Deals with an important subject, of w h ich non-professional men might with advantage know more.”— Me!bourne Herald. “ Contains all and every information it is desirable a child of either s x should know : judiciously used, it should become a safeguard against the many rooks found in the sea of life, upon which an many young people founder.”— St. Arnaud Mercury. “ It is an undoubted fact that 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.”— Wangarutta Dispatch. “ Calculated to improve the knowledge and elevate the ideas of the masses. Bendigo Advertiser. “ This woi k has been written with a desire to alleviate much of the misery caused by imperfect knowledge of the functions of the organa of reproduction. To those not familnr with this important subject, it is clear that definite information of a ph-sio-logcal character will he found of ines imahle advantage, by supplying intelligent guidance in the conduct of sexual life, and to those we advise the perusal of so vailin'l a book.”— Marlborough Express. “ The last new work goes elaborately into the evils, merit d, moral, and social, connected with the violation of natural laws ; and it refers at length, to the carelessness of parents, and to the same fault in schoolmasters -in fact, the arguments apply to all who have the care of youth of both s-xes. 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, consists in curin: diseases. Dr Beaney takes a philosophical view of the causes that lead to certain dangers when the laws of health are violated. This makes his works, which are generally written plainly, but forcibly, and are supported by lengthy extracts from high authorities, so acceptable to the general reader, who, at the risk of being charged with prurient curiosity, feels desirous of looking into these important matters. We can recommend the work in particu'ar to all classes, for none need be shocked bv ex amining for themselves”— Pastoral Times. “Mr Beaney handles his subjects delicately and firmly, without being offensive ; he lays the bare facts and the enn-eqnencca of early dissipation and folly, clearly before his reader ; he gives the remits of his long, varied, and extensive practices to the public, accompanied with good sound advice. Foremost 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 in the hands of quacks ; but unbosom yourself to a respectable profoss onal mian ’ The works in qms’ion will repay any one for their i e-u----sal, an l, no doubt, were the facts which he exp'ains better understood hy the multitndes, the annual bills of li goring death, blighted hop's, and mortality, would be very considerably lessened.”— Murrurundi Times. “The Generative System, and its Functions in Health and Disease.— This work is a valuable additi m to that class of medicalliterature which has, through false delicacy, been neglected by medical mon of standing and position, and therefore need and abused by charlatans. The volume contains 32fi pages. Parents will find most valuable information in it. which may aid them in rearing up a family in a healthy stare, when, without such knowledge, they might see their children perish without ever suspecting the cause.”—Cornwall Chronicle, Launceston,
