Medical. The generative system A2fl> ITS 1-TNCTIONS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE. 1 vol, Svo, 32G pages, price 10s. Gd., posted 12s. Gd. JiY JAMES GEORGE BEANEY, F.E.C.S., Late Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital, and to the Royal Victorian Artillery Regiment, formerly Surgeon to the 3rd Royal Lancashire Regiment of Infantry in the Mediterranean, and Staff Surgeon to the Turkish Army during the War in the Crimea. "Spermatorrhoea, impotence, and sterility,arc sub* jects of much greater practical importance than has been conceived by many, and often involve the happiness, ami 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 irrogulaf practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified empiric. In the present era of high refinement, and of luxurious, if not vicious, enjoyments ; and under the influence of noxious plans, and systems of education : instances arc very numerous, for which medical advice is required for the removal of the morbidly disqualifying conditions about to be considered, but which i.«niol resorted to so frequently as it ought to be. Since advice is thus often necessary, the ability of those, from whom the community have a right to expect it. ami that too of the most judicious kind, should bo equally great in providing it. There is every reason, also, to believe that it would bo oftener sought after, if the subject were known to be more fully entertained by the duly qualified members of the profession.*'— (L)r Copland’s Mcdkal Viciionar>j. Vol. 11.

Of Dr. Beancy’s work " The Generative System” it may be honestly said that were it a subject matter more generally known many moral and social benefits would be the result to the hunlan race. Physiology is a branch of science “tabooed” by mock modesty. But the neglect is terribly avenged by the slighted study. The apre f«? Injuria forma ■ has (in this instance of Physiology) reared a brood of ills which it is fearful to contemplate. A sound knowledge of the leading tenets of Physiology is indispensable to the principal of a boarding school. We entirely agree with Mr Beaney when ho remarks, “ that the neglect of physiological education in schools is to be condemned, on the ground that it deprives b ys of material information which would he of eminent value to them in the perilous period of approaching puberty ; and there can be no question but if information could be imparted in such a manner as would not shock the moral feelings it would not only dispel the cloud of ignorance and misapprehension as the most important physiological truths, in the minds of the young, but would promote a healthier and manlier tone.!’ — AustmU(Vi Svhvol Ikciw, Sept. 1673. Dk. Bkanky’s Xisw Work. —This gentleman lias 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 ami future generations. The subject is one which must recommend itself to the serious consideration 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 profession, has stepped forward to till the breach long open to the most unscrupulous imposters, who have entailed, probably on a portion of the human family, more misery and suffering than the little good they have done or may do by mere chance, can ever counterbalance. Wc have to acknowa ledge the receipt of a copy of the work, and would urge upon those who take an interest in this science, ami in the welfare of a people, to obtain a copy at the earliest opportunity ; they will find it instructive and deeply interesting. — dSurdirPost, 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 false delicacy been neglected by medical men of standing and position, and therefore used and abused by charlatans. The volume contains 320 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 suspecting the cause.—Tasmanian ConueolL Chronicle, 4th Dec.. 1872.

“The Generative System,” by Dr. Heaney, will bo 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 great advantage to the colonist. The subject is treated very fully ndeed, and cases from bis own extensive practice, a well as from that of others, are adduced illustrative of the principles advanced by the author for the guidance and instruction of his readers.— Crcswkk Advertiser t Jan. 8, 1873.

AVe have to notice another work by Mr. Beancy, entitled “ The Generative System” and its functions in health and disease. It is divided into two divisions; the first, having reference to the generative organs, and their functions in abnormal conditions. The nature of the subject selected, prohibits lengthy criticism, but tile high position attained by the author in his profession, is a sufficient proof of the ability displaye in the treating of this importan' subject. Week I Leader, Hokitika, N.Z., Feb. 20, If. 1. Mr. Eeaney occupies so high a ra' ■ «in his profession, and is so generally regarded as t. undoubted authority on matters of this nature, that his opinions entitle him to every respect, while his b oldness and fearlessness in stepping forward to tl o relief of suffering humanity, gives him a claim upon ourgratitude. 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 witli 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, and to those we advise the perusal of so valuable a book. —Mcrtborovjh Express Feb. 22,1573.
