ILLUSTRATED THIRD EDITION 1917 THE CRITIC AND GUIDE COMPANY 12 MT. MORRIS PARK, WEST NEW YORK PREFACE OR many centuries deep silence reigned over everything that concerns sex. The normal manifestations of the instinct had to be denied and hidden, abnormal manifestations had to be concealed, and diseases of the sex organs had to be treated as if they had no existence. Mere refer- ence to venereal disease in public print or a chaste discussion of a sexual subject was not only a social transgression, but a criminal offense, and many were the hardships of those who dared to be pio- neers in the field of sex knowledge. About a decade ago a change began to make it- self felt. It began to be seen that the welfare of the race demanded that certain evils resulting from the sex relations should no longer be barred from public discussion. Societies were estab- lished in many cities with the object of enlighten- ing the public en sex matters and particularly of warning the people against the terrible dangers and ravages of venereal disease.
