TRANSMISSION OP
REV. CYRUS NUTT, D.D.,
President of Indiana State University.
I know of no work recently issued from the press, calculated
to do so much good as “The Transmission of Life.” It con¬
tains information of the utmost importance to the individual
and the race, and should have a wide circulation.
PROF. J. ORDRONAUX, LL.D., M.D.,
Prof, of Physiology, Pathology, and Medical Jurisprudence,
Columbian College, Washington, D. C.
It was due to the cause of science, no less than morality,
that some competent and honourable physician should reclaim
this subject from the slough of pollution in which it has been
dragged. Your work bears the impress of religious and
scientific truth.
PHILADELPHIA MEDICAL AND SURGICAL REPORTER.
This book is intended to meet a want which, during the
last year, has been urgently expressed by several medical and
literary journals in this country and England, namely, to place
before the public, in popular yet irreproachable language,
what information regarding the hygiene, nature, uses, and
abuses of the procreative function in the male is necessary to
protect the individual from the evil consequences ot his own
folly or ignorance. It will readily be conceived that to discuss
such topics clearly, positively, and with benefit to the lay
reader, requires no ordinary tact; and we must say that the
author has succeeded beyond all our expectations. The work
is characterised throughout by sound scientific views, and in¬
dicates extensive and careful reading.
AMERICAN LITERARY GAZETTE.
Philadelphia, March 15, 1871.
Those who are acquainted with the author’s “Physical Life
or Woman” will find this new book fully equal to that very
popular and extraordinarily successful work, to which it may
be said to form a sequel, being addressed to the other sex.
NEW YORK INDEPENDENT.
March 30, 1871.
The book treats of an important and difficult subject with
perfect delicacy of thought and expression, and its counsels
are eminently sound and judicious. It is, we believe, calcula-
ed to do great good.
