Sexual Specialists.

To the Editor Sir,—Hi i-init me to congratulate you on tho useful stand you have token in exjii sng what might lie called the must dangerous fraud in existence. ’I he medical quack is a most dangerous man, os lie not only torments his victims ;,;hut. he frequently lands them in lunacy. For the sake of our hoys and our nation you have taken a step that 1 hope will bring its right reward. My earnest wish is that not only in Invercargill, but throughout New Zealand and Australia, the influence of your article will be felt. I have taken pains to s mi a copy of the issue to many men who will. I am sure, use their influence with other newspapers to act as vou have done.—l am, etc., U. H. W. BLU’.H. Lecturer Australasian White Cross League. Invercargill, January 27. (ITS, —Permit me to recommend Pr. •'Sperry’s ‘‘Confidential talks with young mm,” which can bo bad from nil books sellers. And there is a book by Ellice Hopkins, the founder of White Cross work, which is classic ; hut, although t am such an rdtnirer of her writing, Dr, Sperry’s is the hook for all voimg men—li.W.H.B.) To the Editor. Sir,—l desire to express my appreciation of your deep sense of duty in bringing before your readers tho value of the good work of the White Cross League. In the affairs of life it is of the highest importance that the mind and body should be well disciplined and trained in the days of youth, and the addresses given by Air Bligli, in beautiful language, show how this Is to be done by appealing to all that is noble and true in man and in such a way as to be a lasting benefit to every brave heart, and fit and help each man to render a better and completer social s-i-vico. 1 am, etc., L.B. •I ah u ary 27. To tho Editor. Sir,—Bight thinking persons cannot but commend you for the I way you handled the above delicate subject in your Saturday's issue. I luivr often thought that ; parents deserve Censure for bringing up (hein children in absolute ignorance of , the human organism. Perhaps, in a ] small town like this, the temptations of , youth are not so great us in larger j cities. Nevertheless tho disseminating of j such literature as that referred to must j have a , deleterious effect upon our youth Parents should instruct (.heir children to know themselves. There are hundreds of I reasons that could be enumerated, hut, t

1 think, from my own experience, the principal one is for those who in these days have to leave their homes (or advancement in their line of business, or to seek a suitable avenue of employment. In this I ran., speak from my own personal knowledge. In leaving a country town for one of the world’s larger cities it,is absolutely essential that one should be instructed in these delicate questions, end who, J ask, ran convey a lesson to their children better than a father or a mother ? I fee] sure the result from vou;- excellent article will he that those who regard such a question as too delicate to convey to their children, will see and understand that It is only a question of time before they will leant when pen’iaps the harm has been done. Every citizen will wish Air Bligh every blessing and success in his good work of disseminating lessons that are essential to good citizenship.—i a m, etc,, PATER. .1 ami ary 27.
