Book Description

Excerpt from The Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal, 1876, Vol. 22 It may be stated, on the authority of Jaennel and other oh servers, 'that registration uniformily diminishes the number of clandestine prostitutes. Many who abandon their ranks report, some of them voluntarily, for enrollment, whilst others, through fear of the police, forsake a life of shame. These women are a part, but a very small part, of the out-lying stragglers of this great camp of iniquity. It is the amelioration of the condition of the main body with which we must first be concerned, and when these come to learn their real status, that they have not ceased to be the objects of the care of enlightened government; and more than all, that they can not be permitted to scatter wide the seeds of disease and death unhindered, the others will be still further restricted in their immoral acts, or surren der at discretion to a' judicious supervision.
