Medical. THE GENERATIVE SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONS IN HEALTH & DISEASE. 1 vol., Bvo, 326 pages, price 12s M. By James George Beaney, F.R.C.S. Late Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital, and to the floyal Victorian Artillery Eegiment, formerly Surgeon to the 3rd Royal I ancashire Regiment of Infantry, in the Mediterranean, and Staff Surgeon to the Turkish Army during the War in the Crimea. "Spermatorrhoea, impotence, and Bterility, 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 overlooked by medical writers, or very imperfectly discussed, and thereby relinquished to the irregular practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified empiric. In the Tpreseht era of high refinement, and of luxurious, if not vicious, enjoyments \ and under -the influence of noxious plans, arid systems of education ; instances are very numerous, for -which medical advice- is required for the removal of the morbidly disqualifying' conditions, about Jo be considered, but, which is riot jresbrte'cT to so. frequently as^ it pught to be; r Since Mvice 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, great in providing it; There is 'every )reason, also, to believe that it would be of tener. sought after, if the subject were known to be more 'fully 'en'tertairied'b'y the duly qualified membersi of the professiori."— (Dr Copeland's Medical Dictionary, Vol. 11.) ■• ■■■ '■ ■■' \ Qf Mr Beaney's work ( ''The Generative; System "it may ! be honestly said that were it a subject matter mere generally known many moral and social benefits would be. the result to the' human race. Physiology is a ' branch of science "tabooed" by mock ; modesty. But;the neglect is terribly avenged by the slighted Btudy. ,The spretce injuria /qrmas.jhas (in r) this instance of Physiology) reared a brood of ills which it is fearful to contemplate. A l sound knowledge of the leadingTtenets of ' Physiology is indispensible ! to the principles of a boarding school. We entirely agr.ee wi^h Mr Beaney when he remarks, ".that the; neglect of physiological education in schools is to be condemned, on the ground that it deprives boys of material information which would be of eminent value to them in the perilous period of approaching puberty ; and there can beno question i but' if irifoririation "could be impatted in such a manner as would not shock the moral, feelings it would not only" dispel the cloud of ignorance and misapprehension as to the most important physiological truths, intho minds or the young, but would promote a healthier and manlier tone." — Australian School Review, i Sept. 1873. Dr Beaney's' New Work.- This gentleman has contributed another very valuable volume to , the medical literature of the Colony, on a subject of vast importance to the most vital interests of the present and future generations. The subject is one which' 1 must recommend itself to the serious con-, sideration of every philanthropist, and though it is one we are precluded, from its delicate character,- from treating upon to any great extent, in our columns, still we cannot refrain from remarking that this gentleman, holding a high position in his profe'ssioh,' .^has? stepped forward; to fill the breach long open to the most unscrupulous impostors, who have entailed; probably on a portion of the human family, more misery and suffering than the little good they have donipor" may do bjrmere chance; can ever counterbalance, i We have to acknowledge 'the "receipt of a copy of the work, and would urge upon those.whq. take an .interest in this science, and' in v the welfare of a°'pe6ple, ' to obtain a copy at the earliest opportunity ; they will find it instructive and deeply interesting. — Border Post, Albury, Dec. 28, 1872. The Generative System, and its Functions 'in Health" and Disease. — This work is a valuable addition to that class of medical literature, which has through falsa delicacy been neglected by medical men of standing and position, and therefore used and abused by f charlatans. The, "Volume contains 326 pages and forms a suitable companion to the other work. 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 children perish without ever snspecting the cause. — Tasmanian Cornwall Chronicte, 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 years, been a morbid delicacy in the public mind with reference to ' books of this kind," but it is passing away, and although they will necessarily be restricted in their circulation, they; cannot but be of v 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. — preswick 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 j is divided into two divisions ; the first having reference, to the generative organs, and their functions in their normal candition; 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 profesion is a, sufficient proof 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 s 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 bias, 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.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, arid to those we advise -the perusal of so valuable a book. — Marlborough Express, Feb. 22, 1873. ;<;..:rF'^r'F r^"B I V^ i i'fc!?ißj» i B r '. -.
