anecdotal assumptions that predominate in most works seen in this collection. Consider the following lead-up to sweaty palms . . . "Apathy, loss of memory, abeyance of concentrative power and manifestation of mind generally, combined with loss of self-reliance and an indisposition for or impulsiveness of action, irritability of temper, and incoherence of language are the most characteristic mental phenomena of chronic dementia resulting from masturbation in young men. "As in diseases of an exhaustive nature, we find that the cutaneous secretion is poured forth abundantly, so in the cases occupying our attention the perspiration breaks forth on the slightest exertion. This relaxed condition of the perspiratory system is especially marked in the palms, and the exception is to find these dry on a masturbator, for generally a damp, cold clammy perspiration is constantly present, and makes it particularly disagreeable to take the hands of one of these persons. The sub-tegumentary layer is but sparingly supplied with fat, which is remarkable, considering the little exercise these patients, if left to their own guidance, would take. [p. 105, quoting "Dr. Ritchie"] Many diseases of children, explains our learned doctor, result from the fact that the parents have masturbated. Of course you cannot ask the woman, but if you manage to check "the labia and vagina of the mother . . . without exciting her suspicions," this examination . . . . . . will often show the changes due to excessive friction and pulling, and establish the amount of responsibility that rests on her shoulders for the existence of the disease in the child. I have for many years made it a practice to get at the history of the parents of consumptive children and my examinations so invariably confirm my suspicions that I have now no doubt whatever of the direct relation between masturbation and hereditary phthisis. I know that others in active practice have examined and treated such cases and have been able also to trace the lung disease to its legitimate origin. [p. 94] In a work so long as this one, there is much more that one could notice, during an unhurried perusal of such extensive misinformation, that passed for medicine only a century ago. 52 HUBBARD, S[amuel]. Dana. SEX KNOWLEDGE FOR THE MATURE MIND . . . New York: Claremont Printing Co., c. 1922 by Samuel Cummins [cover title & imprint]. two items plus envelope: $25 15 cm. [1 (Contents)], 31 pp. Printed orange wrappers. Fine; trimmed crookedly at top by the printer, but leaving sufficient margins. Masturbation, pp. 14-16. "Investigators state that girls are not so apt to fall into solitary vices as are boys, though it is more common than many parents believe. 56
Girls require as careful observation and attention to prevent these unpleasant conditions developing as do boys. . . . Of special value is the cold bath immediately on awakening in the morning. . . ." (p. 15) ::TOGETHER WITH:: HUBBARD, S. Dana. SEX FACTS FOR YOUNG BOYS . . .
