sion. as has been done in Paris and st.
Louis, and as has been attempted in
London The language. is:
"The question of regulating prostitu-
ton is one which must sooner or later
come before the sanitary authorities of
this city. 1t has already thrown society
in England into tumqlt of excited dis
cussion. Could an inspector be better
employed-could he be more strictly in
the line of his duty both as profession :
al man and as an officer of the Health
Department., than when making observa-
tions and records which shall give the
Department the mastery of the situation
when this question comes up for discus
sionP'
We put the Science of Health on record
against any and every measure to regu-
late prostitution. Its only possible effect
is to increase RIGHTEOUSNESS by making
men, and boys too, imagine that there is
little or no danger of disease. The sex
ual function lies at the very base of hu-
man happiness and human existence.
Nature has attached the most terrible
diseases to perverted Amativeness-the
most terrible and agonizing that human
nature can endure. And we suspect that
nature is right and the doctors wrong.
The medical profession cannot interpose
between cause and effect, and nullify the
laws of nature. But if these medical
gentlemen who are so benevolently anx-
ous about the health of the community,
will impose precisely the same condi-
tions on men prostitutes as they propose
to do on women prostitutes we will go
for the law, or regulation, or license or
whatever the thing may be- called in
legal parlance. 1t takes two parties, and
of opposite sexes, to practice prostitution.
And it is well-known that for every wo-
man prostitute there are ten men pros
titutes. Let the men who visit houses
of prostitution be registered as well as
the women (who are generally the vic
Tins of mems villainy,) and we will vote
for the regulation" We will hold up
both hands, jump up both feet, and give
the Science of Health to the advocacy and
enforcement of the law, and if we do not
send some heavy bombshells into the
camp of the conspirators against equal
legislation for both sexes on sexual sub
jects we will agree to swallow dose of
drug medicine, which we have not had
the misfortune TO do in more than forty
years.

[From the Science of Health.
Regulating Vice.

There was never more pernicious
principle introduced into legislation than
that of regulating vices, crimes, and wick
ed vocations. Regulation means license,
and license is protection. To legalize the
liquor traffic or the trade of prostitution
is to render them comparatively respect
able. The only legislation that ever was
or ever can be useful in relation to any
trade or practice that is wrong per Sc, is
prohibition pure and simple. Otherwise
leave the matters to common law and
public sentiment.
These remarks are suggested by an ar
ticle in the Sanitarium for November,
1874, Ga strange misnomer for a drug
medical journal, under the imposing IT,
tie Of "The Relations of Sanitary Inspec-
tors to the Medical Profession, by A. B.
Judson, NJ. D., New York; with remarks
by Drs James, Russell, and others. Pro
ceedings of the New York Public Health
Association, September 10th, 1874"
In this article we find the usual re-
marks about ventilation, tenement
houses, sewage, garbage, the cattle dis
ease, epizooty, high temperature, and
other matters with which everybody is
familiar; but not one word of the great,
everpresent nuisances-those whose in
fluence in producing disease, and human
misery, and DEATH overshadows all that
they have mentioned an hundred fold.
We mean the ram.shops, and the tobac-
co smoke which fills all the atmosphere
with a fetid and desolatins poison; more
injurious to health than all the stenches
OF all the cutters, sewers, stables, slaugh-
ter.houses, and tenement-house miasms.
But the point in this article which we
wish especially to notice and reprobate,
is its proposition, somewhat vaguely ex-
pressed, to have prostitution regulated

deniable that weakness in man and-in
all other animals will resort to deception
to accomplish its purposes, when it de-
spairs of succeeding by any other means.
When power fails or is questioned then
deceit exercises its wiles. A sense of
fear also develops the faculty. The child

education

our words and actions and the impulses

to fall. We need to fortify ourselves with
the most rigid code of morals, and to seek

Lying.

1t is a common complaint that the
world is fearfully given to lying. 1t has
prevailed from the earliest ages, and the
very first pages of sacred history contain
its record. Subterfuge, prevarication and
downright lying seem to enter into every
department of human progress. Where
have we an account of a more deliberate
lie than the beloved Jacob told to his
poor, old, infrm and blind father Isaac,
when he covered himself with goatskin
and carried to him steaming hot mess
of mutton, and palmed it off upon the
old man as delicious preparation of ven-
ison such as he loved, and proclaimed
himself as Esau the first born, and thus
carried off the blessing that truly belong
ed to his unsuspecting brother?
Imagine the venerable patriarch reach
ing out to touch his beloved child. His
eye is dim so that he cannot see him.
His nerves are unstrung so that he can
not q Use. He is in his dotage, and his
physical power exhausted. He is mere
wreck of his former vigorous self. He is
in that period of life when his infrmities
demand all the care and attention, and
support, and sympathy, and assistance
that loving hearts can render. And yet,
just at the very time, above all others,
when we would naturally expect that he
should be protected from all deceit, this
supplanter, Jacob, does not hesitate to
practice upon him the infamous arts of
the liar. As the old man talks to him,
the voice sounds like the voice of Jacob,
but when he touches him his hands seem
to be the hands of Esau. And after being
solemnly assured that he is his very son
Esau, he eats of his "venison' and gives
him the blessing of the first born. Poor
old man you have had no lack of com
pany, and from your day down to our
own, who have been the victims of SINH
lar deception. They comprise an innu-
merable army. They are as thick as the
leaves upon the trees, or the blades of
grass upon the hillside. Could they be
piled together they would reach higher
than the tower of Babel. as contemplated
by its builders, and would be permanent
monument to the depravity of human
nature.
Lying seems to be natural to mankind.
We know it is not pleasant reflection to
acknowledge that this is true We like
to maintain the dignity of our humanity,
and we try very hard to explain away
every ything that would detract from it
Certain philosophers, therefore, will
argue that truth is natural and that lying

1t was Washington dispatch, and it
told very briefly how Christmas was OBJ
served at the National Capital A mere
passing note; statement of a simple fact;
hardly worth more than flying men
tion. 1t only said: THE police report
the arrest OF an unusually large number
of intoxicated persons, mostly young
men," That was all. A larger number
than usual deliberately extingushed
their sense of responsibility to society
and to themselves and having so de-
throned their reason, went reeling
through the streets, in which condition
they were arrested by the police, and
safely held until kind nature had re-
stored what they had thrown away, and
they had ceased to be dangerous to society
or themselves. And they were mostly
young men," Not much of an item that.

special significance to them. There was
nothing in it touching the financial ques-
