he nation be accordingly.
+As secret vice diminishes, public virtue and morality become greater.+
Diseases of the Prostate Gland, Urinary Organs and Sexual Apparatus are
as +real, as embarassing+ and +as needful of cure+ as those of the
lungs, heart, stomach, or any other organ--indeed, more important, for
the latter only affect the life or health of the individual immediately
concerned, while the former concern not only the person affected, but
his offspring also.

There is no reason why false modesty or pseudo-delicacy should reign
supreme here. If the Almighty had intended these matters to be viewed
and treated in the light which some fanatics and extremists seem to
desire, we would certainly have been created without the power of
procreation entirely. As it is, such organs and such diseases +do
exist+, are of the greatest (individual and national) importance, and
provided a +full knowledge of the causes and consequences of vice and
abuse as related to these parts can be brought vividly and strongly
before the mind of every man, young or old, in a chaste, decent and
strictly professional manner+, the result can only be a good one, and
those who deny it are engaged in moral hair-splitting.

We felt that the foregoing remarks were both +apropos+ and necessary
with a view to contradicting some statements recently made regarding
the uselessness and demoralizing effects of everything concerning this
branch of medical practice, and as due ourselves in distinctly recording
our belief and practice in the matter; more especially to refute the
false accusation that special medical treatises were being scattered
broadcast over the land and made to invade the privacy of homes, and
coming into the hands of young boys and females.
