Chapter 4
In this supplementary chapter are given the scientific facts of special physiology, written in Dr. Wood-Allen's own delicate style. Many who have become aroused to the fact that accurate scientific knowledge is the surest safeguard of purity, are themselves not well enough instructed to be able to teach their children. This booklet meets the need of all such, and gives just what is wanted to instruct young people in regard to the sacred origin of life. Every one who owns "Teaching Truth" and "Child-Confidence Rewarded" will desire to possess this booklet also, for it supplements these perfectly.
