GALLICHAN, WALTER M. Letters to a young man on love and health. *$1 (4c) Stokes 612.6
20–15339
These letters are from an uncle to his nephew, beginning when the boy is sixteen and extending over a period of five years. They are on puberty, with its accompanying unrest and longings, and on sex and marital hygiene and treat these subjects with large insight, sanity and sympathy.
“There is much common sense in these letters.”

“While this book is undoubtedly more desirable than those products of an earlier day that endeavored to enforce a moral code through fear, still there are many reasonable objections to be raised against it that render its great usefulness doubtful. The modern serious youth desiring sex knowledge does not want a sugar-coated pill but simple facts. This author is not always accurate or up-to-date in his statements or teaching.” H. W. Brown
