first edition, uncommon. A prudish book, typical of its era, and like most with their threats of disease and deformity, it probably did more damage than good. "Switchman to sidetrack evil; to give right of way to main line of right. . . . With information they ought to and must know. Their Make-up, Dangers, Traps that Catch Men." (from the title-page) With lots of warnings against fornication and "buggery, the crime of stooping to the lowest depths." Need we say more?
