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. 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, 101 Collins Street East, Melbourne. “ Will be unlversallly 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 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 as it 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 sox should know : judiciously used, it should become a safeguard against the many rooks found in the sea of life, upon which so many young people founder.”— Si. 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. ” IVangaralta Dispatch. “ Calculated to improve the knowledge and elevate the ideas of the masses.—Bendigo Advertiser. “ This work has been written with a desire to alleviate much of the misery caused by imperfect knowledge of the functions of the organs of reproduction. To those not familar with this important subject, it is clear that definite information of a physiological character will be found of inesiimablo 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 into the evils, mental, 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 sexes. 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 curing diseases. Dr Boaney 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, ami are supported by leugl’uy extracts from high authorities, so acceptable to the general reader, who, at the risk of being charged with prurient curiosity, feels desirous uf 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 (irmly, without being offensive ; he lays the bare facts and the consequences of early dissipation and folly, clearly before his reader ; lie gives the results of his long, varied, and extensive practices to the public, accompanied with pood 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 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 multitudes, the annual hills of li .goring 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 that class of medicalliterature wbichhas, through false delicacy, been neglected by medical men of standing and position, and therefore used and abused by charlatans. The volume contains 32(> pages. Parents will find most valuable information in it. which may aid them in rearing up a family in a healthy state, when, without such knowledge, they might see their ebildrcn perish without ever suspecting the cause.’’—Cornwatt Chronicle, laiuaceston.
