The American Homoeopathist Volume 27 (Paperback)


This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 Excerpt: ...for the delectation of the immediate neighborhood and others more remote. Nothing that can afflic poor humanity seems too sacred for publication in the Saturday morning papers. Matters that ought to be locked up in the innermost privacy of every clean-hearted woman are posted on the fence-corners, and thrown into our storm-doors. Young women barely out of their teens, and others still of a tender age, tell gloatingly, in the public prints, under a woodcut engraving, how that they had leucorrhoea, displacements of the womb, ulcerations of the labia and vagina, pains in the ovaries, tumors and leprous eruptions, piles, constipation, and diarrhea; with hideous foulnesses of other parts of the body, the knowledge of which ought to be sacred to every woman of gentility and breeding; but all these are pictured or written with the flourish of an advertising-expert's pen and pencil, and sent broadcast over the land. Men of former excellent standing in the community confess to shameful practices, upon themselves and others, which ought forever to thrust them out of the pale of decent society; which ought to cause the normal-school-attending daughter, or the rapidly-growing son, to implead with the properly constituted authorities for an inquisition-in-lunacy, to restrain further disclosures of this salacious and utterly foul kind. Alleged ministers of the Gospel, whose professions in the pulpit are those of cleanness of heart and body, under the stimulus of a few gratis bottles or boxes of hell-dope, scruple not to admit practices which utterly shame the cloth, and pollute them in their daily avocation. This evil was bad enough when it was confined to the almanac, and the private circular which was occasional)' thrust into the sufferer's hands by interested druggist...
