== Circumcision promotion ==
In 1836, Lallemand [[circumcised]] a patient to cure him from [[nocturnal emission| 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
