Late Surgeon to the Melbourne Hospital, and to the Royal Victorian Artillery Kegiment, formerly Surgeon to the 3rd fioyal Lant Regiment of Infantry iu the Mediterranean, and Staff Surgeon to the Turkish Army during the War in the Crimea. "Spermatorrhoea, impotence and sterility, are subjects of much greater practical importance than has been conceived by rnauy, and often involve the happiness, and perpetuation of families. Yet have they, by a sore of professional prudery, been eit'ier e-.tirely overlooked by medical writers, or very imperfectly discussed, and thereby relinquished to the irregular practitioner, or to the entirely unqualified emp : ric. 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 are very numerous for which medic.il 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' to 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 great in providing it, There is every reason, also, to believe that it would be oftener sought after, if the subject were known.to be more fully entertained by the duly qualified members of the profession."—(Dr Copland's Medical Dictionary, Vol. 11.) Of Mr Beaney's work "The Generative System" it may be honestly.said that were it a subject matter more geuerally 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 study. The spretai injuria formal has (in this instance of Physiology) leared a brood of .ills which it is fearful to contemplate. A sound knowledge of r the leading tenets of Physiology is indispensible to the principal of a boarding school. We entirely agree with Mr Beaney when he remarks, "that the neglect of physiological education in schoils 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; aud there can be no question but if information could be imparted in such a manner as would not shook the moral feelings it would not only dispel the cloud of ignorance and misapprehension as to the most important physiological truths, in the minds of the young, but would promote a healthier aud manlier tone."—Australian School Review, 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 aad future generations, The subject is one whioh 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, holdiug a high position in his profession, 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 sulFering than the little i<ood they have done or may do by more chance, can ever counterbalance. We have to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the work, aud would urge upon those who take an interest in this science, and in the welfare of a people, to obtain a copy at the earliest opportunity; they will find it instructive and deeply interestiug,—Border Post, Albury, Dec. 23, 1872.

The Generative System, aud its Functions in Health and Disease.—This work is a valuable addition to that class of medshl literature, which has through false delicacy been neglected by medical men of stauding and position, and therefore used and abused by 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 reariug up a family in a healthy state, when without such knowledge they might see their children perish without ever suspecting the cause.—Tastnanian Cornwall Chronicle, Dec. 4,1874; "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 past few years, been a morbid delicacy in the public miud with reference to books of this kind," but it is passing away, and although they will necessarily ba restricted iu their circulation, they cannot but be of great advantage to the colonist. The subject is treated very fully indeed, and cases from Ms own extensive practice, as well as from that of others, are adduced illustrative of the principles advance! by the author for the guidance and instruction of his readers.—Qremick 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; the first having reference to the generative .organs, and their functions in their normal condition; and the seeond deals with the generative organs, and their functions in abnormal conditions. The nature of the subject selected, prohibits lengthly criticism, but the high position attiiued by the author in his profession, is a sullicieut proof of the ability displayed in the treating of this important subject.— Weekly Leader, Hokitika, N.Z., Feb. 20, 1873. Mr Besney occupies so high a rank in his professioii, 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 iu stepping forward to the relief of satferiug humanity, gives him a claim upon our gratitude. The " Generative System and its functions in health and disease," is the title of aaotiier volume from the pen of the same'. talented author. This work has been'written with a desire to alleviate much o£ the misery c.uned by imperfect knowledge of the functions of the organs of reproduction. To those not familiar with this important subject, it is clear tint definite information of a physiological character will be found of inestimable advantage, by supplying intelligent guidance in the conduct ot sexual life, and to those we advise the perusal of so valuable hmk.—Marlhomujh Express, Feb. j 22, 1873. „ & Jj\ BA I L L.I ERE, PUBLISHER} : 1 Melbourne, Victoria,
