About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. Very Good. 1924. Hardcover. First published in 1913. Introduction by Thomas Denison Wood. Nellie Smith was a lecturer for the Society of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis, New York. The society was established to help educate the medical profession and general populace of the venereal disease epidemic with increase in child mortality and blindness. This book addresses sex education through an elegant reference to "The Gift" or the "law of life." "... the (greatest) gift has been given to human beings alone. This gift is Choice. Human beings need not be dependent like plants, nor are they obliged to obey an instinct blindly, as animals do, but they are left free to choose." The text then goes on to teach the value of refraining from alcohol, the effects of syphilis on a child and and so forth. Contents: Plant Life; Animal Life; Human Life; The Gift of Choice. ; 8vo .
