"He must have said something amusing to make you laugh." "Yes, and I should like to tell you what it was; but before I do so I must ask you if you know what the venereal disease is?"

"Very good, but you should pretend not to know what it is, and imitate other ladies who assume an ignorance which well becomes them.
Forty per cent of existing blindness, and a vast amount of physical degeneracy, is the direct result of venereal causes. Certain forms of glaucoma may be inherited, and children whose parents have had this disease should watch their own eyes very carefully, since, if taken in time, the progress of this disease, in certain forms, may be arrested.
Sexual love and the venereal sense in religions. The hermaphrodite gods. The virgin mother. Mohammed was the first to proclaim a deity above sex.

Prostitution seems inseparable from human society in large communities. The fact is acknowledged in the name given it, "the necessary evil."
