that people of all ages and both sexes are suffering from abuses of the sexual function. In a majority of instances these abuses were begun and continued in ignorance of the results which were to follow." And then the lengthy and earnest appeal to men, women, youth and children, from the writer of the "<strong>Appeal</strong> to Mothers," and her exhortations and warnings from a Bible stand-point, meet the wants of the people. The extracts entitled "Evils and Remedy," although unavailing many dark pictures, are entitled to consideration as the utterances of one whose extensive study of human nature has qualified him to speak to the point on this important subject. The closing chapter, on treatment, is from the pen of one who sustains an intimate relation to the cause of health reform. Its instructions have the endorsement of the faculty of our Health Institute, and are entitled to the confidence of the reader. 4
Chapter 1 Chastity Definition of Unchastity Unchastity includes all the action, whether of body or mind, which is forbidden by the seventh commandment. And all that is therein forbidden, may be included under the two following heads: 1. Unchastity of the mind. 2. Unchastity of the conduct. By unchastity of the mind, is meant the conception of unchastity in the mind, the cherishing of impure desire. All sin has its seat in the mind. The seventh commandment, like every other, extends to "thoughts, and intents of the heart." "This," says Dwight, "is unanswerable evident from our Saviour's comment on this precept (the seventh commandment), 'Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her, hath 5
