Excerpt from The Origin of Life and Process of Reproduction in Plants and Animals: With the Anatomy and Physiology of the Human Generative System, Male and Female, and the Causes, Prevention and Cure of the Special Diseases to Which It Is Liable; A Plain, Practical Treatise, for Popular Use

AT the commencement of my medical career circumstances led me into the study of the Generative System, its Anatomy, Physiology, and diseases and this became, subsequently, a specialty with me, both as a matter of scientific pursuit and as a particular subject of medical practice. All my life since has been devoted to the same pursuit, and my practice has been almost exclusively connected with diseases of the Reproductive Organs, in men and women.

I have therefore had much opportunity for acquiring knowledge on such matters, and have endeavored, as far as I could, to turn that opportunity to good account. By means of careful Observations, both in human beings and animals, and by dis sections and regular experiments in every practicable way, it has always been an Object with me to, learn as much as possible of the great mystery of Generation! This knowledge I sought not only as a medical man, to enable me to mitigate human suffering, or to fulfill legitimate human hopes, but because it, is intensely interesting m itself, and of Immense importance to the human race in many ways.
