Excerpt from Dr. Foote's New Book on Health and Disease, With Recipes, Including Sexology: Treating of the Human System in Health and Disease, of Hygiene and Sanitation; Causes, Prevention and Home Treatment of Chronic Diseases, Including Private Words for Men and Women, and 250 Practical Preacriptions

How far the heads of families may be willing to allow it to circulate among the younger members, it must be left for them to determine; but, if intelligent parents had had my experience they would place this book in the hands of all children who are capable of being interested in it. In other words. They would take no pains to conceal it from children of any age, because only those who un derstand it will become interested. And all possessing this degree of comprehension are liable to obtain erroneous and injurious information upon the same taplcs through inpure and corrupting channels. Though much care be exercised to pre vent it. This is a fact which a large correspondence with young people has impre-ed upon the mind of the author, and would commend the earnest attention of all parents and guardians. If they possessed the means of knowing what the writer does. I have received enough lamentations from the young of both sexes, resulting from their indiscretions. To fill these pages. And many of their letters do not hesitate to charge their parents with cruel neglect in keeping from them a knowledge of such vital importance. If this work is adjudged unsuitable. May be other works can be found that will answer the purpose, although I doubt if there is another book wherein the relations of all the organs of the system to each other. And those of the moral nature to the physical body. Are more faithfully traced. For the adult this work contains information which no man or woman can word to do without, when it may be obtained at a price so comparatively trifling. If the physiological deductions and social views of the author be not accepted the valuable facts upon which they are based remain. And the reader is at liberty to use them to sustain cplnions and suggestions which he may adjudge more accept able to the popular mind. Anything, everything - that the human family may grow wiser and happier. B. B. I.
