Excerpt from The Sexual Organism, and Its Healthful ManagementOut of a great variety Of causes Operating to invert the Divine relations, and to pervert the Divine arrangements, thus destroying health and enthroning sickness, the misuse or abuse Of the sexual organism and its functions stands preéminent. As a matter Of course, the diseases Of this organism comprise, within their range, a large chapter in the sum total Of the diseases Of the human body. TO Show how these diseases are brought about, by what means they exist, under what con ditions they perpetuate themselves, and by what means alone they can be controlled and properly cured, is my Object. And I take the liberty of saying, at the outset, that how much soever Of pleasure I might derive from entering upon an ex amination Of the subject from points Of view that would be considered purely scientific, I have no desire to do so at pres ent but rather to talk, in a plain, frank, untechnical way, so that the unprofessional mind shall comprehend me, and the common reader understand me. My business, therefore, will be with the people, and not with their physicians (except in so far as I may feel called upon to question the propriety and usefulness of the prescriptions made by the latter, in the treat ment Of this class Of diseases), though I hope SO to manage my argument, as that the most learned doctors may not peruse what I Shall write without profit, for I feel assured, that, in the matter of treating the diseases Of this special organism, physicians are as far from the truth, as they are wide of it in their general medical practice.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
