== Circumcision promotion ==
In 1836, Lallemand circumcised a patient to cure him from nocturnal seminal emissions (i.e. wet dreams). So he recommended [[circumcision]] as a treatment for spermatorrhea (excessive, involuntary ejaculation), which was then believed to be a disease. Lallemand influenced later English physicians such as William Acton.<ref name="darby2005">{{REFjournal
