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.
