There are various names given to the unnatural and degrading vice of producing venereal excitement by the hand, or other means. Unfortunately, it is a vice by no means uncommon among the youth of both sexes, and is frequently continued into riper years. The subject is an important one. Few, perhaps, ever think, or ever know, how many of the unfortunate inmates of our lunatic asylums have been sent there by this dreadful vice. Were the whole truth upon this subject known, it would alarm parents, as well as the guilty victims of the vice, more than the dread of cholera or small-pox.
