Careful observation of the cases of insanity which are admitted to the insane asylums of this country will convince the most skeptic that eighty per cent of them are the result of perverted sexual conditions and self-defilement, and, although this may not be known and understood previous to or at the time of their entrance into the madhouse or insane asylum, it is determined as a fact after they have been inmates but a short time.
If the iron gates of the insane asylums were opened to the men and women who practice this baneful habit or indulge themselves in carnal desires, so that they could go and become eye witnesses to the terrible state and horrible conditions of misery of those poor souls who, by their unholy acts, have been numbered among the insane and have been shut up in an iron cage like a wild animal, their faces would blanch with fright and fear and they would from that day on be the masters and rules of their passions.
For would it not make an impression on your mind and cause you to halt in your headlong and mad plunge into self-defilement and pollution, to see a poor, dejected, miserable human soul who had, through perverted indulgence, become insane and had to be treated as some kind of a wild beast.
Have you any idea of the miserable existence of these poor wretches who are turned over to the mercies of their hard-hearted keepers? If you have not, go and see them, watch them cringe before their keepers, hardly daring to look you in the face.
