Excerpt from Hygiene and Morality: A Manual for Nurses and Others, Giving an Outline of the Medical, Social, and Legal Aspects of the Venereal Diseases To the International Congress of Nurses in Lon don, in July, 1909, in which the chief purpose aimed at was the same as has been here followed, namely, to reiterate the social significance of the venereal diseases and the crusade upon which women should enter in regard to them. There fore, though the book is meant primarily for the nursing profession with its many thousands of members, it has not been arranged simply as a text-book on diseases, and the author hopes it may be useful to many other women as well. The author's thanks are to be cordially expressed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
