Medical. rpffE GENERATIVE SYSTEM JL AND ITS FUNCTIONS IN HEALTH & DISEASE. 1 vol., Bvo, 326 pages, price, 10s 6d. By James George Beaney, F.R.C.S. Late Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital, and to the JRoyal Victorian Artillery Regiment, formerly Surgeon to the 3rd Royal T ancashire Regiment of Infantry in the Mediterranean, and Staff burgeon to the Turkish Army duriag the War in the Crimea. "Spermatorrhoea, impotence, and sterility, are subjects of much greater practical importance than has been conceived by many, and often involve the happiness, and perpetuation of families. Yet have they, by a sort of professional prudery, been either entirely cerlooked by medical writers, or very imperfectly discussed, and thereby relinquished to the irregular practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified empiric. In the present era of high refinement; and of luxurious, if not vicious, enjoyments ; and undei the influence of noxious plans, and systems of education j instances are. very numerous, for which medical advice is required for the removal of the morbidly disqualifying conditions about to be considered, but which is not resorted to so frequently as it ought tc be. Since advice is thus often necessary, the ability of those, from whom the community have a right to expect it, and that too of the most judicious kind, should be equally greal in providing it. There is every reason, also, to believe that it would be bftener soughi after, if the subject were known to be more fully entertained by the duly qualified menr bers of the profession. "— (Dr Copeland'i Medical Dictionary, Vol. 11.) Of Mr Beaney's work "The Generativ< System ''it may be honestly. said that wer< it a subject matter mere generally knowt many moral and social benefits would be th( result to the human race. Physiology is f branch of science "tabooed" by moot modesty. But the neglect is terribly avengec by the slighted study. The spretm injurk Jormtt has (in this instance of Physiology reared a brood of ills which it is fearful t< contemplate. A sound knowledge of th< leading tenets of Physiology is indispens'.bl to the principles of a boarding school. W> entirely agree with Mr Beaney wten he re marks, "that the neglect of physiologica education in schools is to be condemned, oi the ground that it deprives boys of materia information which would be of eminent valu to them in the perilous period of approach ing puberty ; and there can be. no questioi but if information could be impai ted ii such a manner as would not shock the mora feelings it would not' only dispel the clou< of ignorance and misapprehension as to th most important physiological truths, in th minds of the young, but would promote ; healthier and manlier tone." — Australia 1 , School Review, Sept. 1873. Dr Beaney's New Work.- This gentlemai has contributed another .very valuabl volume to the medical literature, of th Colony, on a subject of vast importance t the most vital interests of the present am future generations. The subject is one whici must recommend itself to the serious con sideration of every philanthropist, am though it is one we are precluded, from it delicate character, from treating upon t any great extent, in our columns, still w cannot refrain from remarking that this gen tleman, holding a high position in his pro fession, has stepped forward to fill th breach long open to the most unscrupulou impostors, who have entailed, probably o: a portion of the human family, more miser and suffering than the little good they hay done or may do by mere chance, can eve counterbalance. We have to acknowledg the receipt of a copy of the work, and woult urge upon those who take an interest in thi science, and in the welfare of a people, to obtain a copy at the earliest opportunity they will find it instructive and deeply in teresting. —Border Post, Albury, Dec. 28 1872. The Generative System, and its Function in Health and Disease —This work is i valuable addition to that class of medica literature, which has through false delicacy been neglected by medical men of standing and position, and *;herefore used and abusec by charlatans. The volume coDtains 32( pages and forms a suitable companion to th< other work. Parents will find most valuabh information in it, which may aid them ii rearing up a family in a healthy state, wher without such knowledge they might see theii children perish without ever snspecting th< cause — Tasmanian Cornwall Ohronicte, Dec 4, 1872. " The Generative System," by Dr Beaney, will be found of great value by many persons We agree with the author, that ". there has, until within the last few yeara, been a morbid delicacy in the public mind with reference •to books of this kindj" but it is passing away, and although they will necessarily be restricted in their circulation, they cannot but be of great advantage to the colonist. The subject is treated very fully indeed, and cases from his own extensive practice, as well as from that of others, are adduced illustrative of the principles advanced by the author for the guidance and instruction of his readers.— Creswicb Advertiser, Jan. 8, 1873. We have to notice another work by Mr Beaney, entitled " The Generative System" and its functions in health and disease. It is divided into two divisions j the first having reference.to the generative organs, and their functions in their normal condition; and the second deals with the generative organs, and their functions in abnormal conditions. The nature of the subject selected, prohibits lengthy criticism, but the high position attained by the author in his profession, is a sufficient pro*f of the ability displayed in the treating of this important subject. — Weekly Leader, Hokitika, N.Z., Feb. 20, 1873. Mr Beaney occupies so high a rank in his profession, and is so generally regarded as an undoubted authority on matters of this nature, that his opinions entitle him to every respect, while his boldness and fearlessness in stepping forward to the relief of suffering humanity, gives him a claim upon our gratitude. The " Generative System and its functions in health and disease," is the title of another volume from the pen of the same talented author. This work has been written with a desire to alleviate much of the misery caused by imperfect knew'edge of the 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, Feb. 22, 1873.
