DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Birth Control in Its Medical, Social, Economic and Moral Aspects The first edition of my lecture on Birth Control in Its Medical, Social, Economic, and Moral Aspects having been completely exhausted, I have been requested to permit I he printing of a second edition. This lecture was delivered for the first time in October, 1916, before the American Public Health Association and has since been read a number of times before medical, legal, church, and civic organizations. The question may now arise whether it is up to date after the fearful wor'd war in which our own country finally had to participate so that humanity might be safe from the tyranny and oppression of autocratic rulers and governments. The war, with its sequel of a terrible influenza plague, has probably cost from twelve to fifteen million lives, and the casual observer might say verily no thought should now be given to birth control, for we must replace the lost population and particularly the lost man power. I have discussed the various aspects of birth control in my paper, and the remarks made by Assistant Surgeon General Trask of the U. S. Public Health Service, reproduced in this pamphlet on page 27, answer all arguments for uncontrolled increase of population during war times and thereafter. Our mobilization experience has shown us that one-third of the millions of men who were examined were physically unfit to serve in the army, and I venture to say that if an examination of our female population would have been made, the proportion of women mentally and physically unfit to be mothers might have been equally as great. In connection with this I wish to emphasize what I said in the first edition of this pamphlet, namely, that my appeal is not for reducing the population but for increasing its vigor by reducing the number of the physically, mentally, and morally unfit and adding to the number of the physically strong, mentally sound, and higher morally developed men and women.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Birth Control: Its Medical and Ethical Aspects We have to face the fact that the practice of contraception has become widespread before there has been time to think out its implications, ethical or otherwise. These are the words of the recently published Report of the Special Committee appointed by the National Council of Public Morals in connection with the investigations of the National birth-rate Commission. For the last fifty years the birth-rate in this country has been steadily falling. Dr. Stevenson and Sir Arthur Newsholme have shown that the standardised birth-rate for England and Wales fell 6 per cent. During the period 1881 1893 - 13 per cent. In subsequent twelve years, and 13 per cent. From 1903-1911. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
