What Eminent People in America Say.
“I take pleasure in adding my word of commendation for the spirit and purpose of your book, ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ which I have received and read. I believe the book will do great good, and I hope its message may be used for the bettering of the homes of the world.”
What Eminent People in England Say.
“The questions which are dealt with in the ‘Self and Sex Series’ of books are always being asked, and if the answer is not forthcoming from pure and wise lips it will be obtained through vicious and empirical channels. I therefore greatly commend this series of manuals, which are written lucidly and purely, and will afford the necessary information without pandering to unholy and sensual passion. There has been, in my judgment, too much reticence on the whole of this subject, and nameless sins have originated in ignorance or in the directions given to young life by vicious men. I should like to see a wide and judicious distribution of this literature among Christian circles.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“I have taken the time out of a very hurried week to look over your book, ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ and it seems to me that it is a work that has been prepared with great care and discrimination. I have often thought that this work is one that some heart inspired by love of humanity should undertake. I am glad to say that my study of it indicates that you have been led by a pure love for your kind to write one of the most helpful and valuable books that it has been my privilege to see in many days.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“You have accomplished in doing, in your little book, ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ exactly what you have set out to do, it seems to me, and I know of no book of its kind which exhales to the same degree, and so unerringly, the candid, pure and exalted purpose of the writer. It is an honest little book, and every young married man who reads it cannot fail to be helped by it, and helped materially. There are books, three times the size, which do not begin to have one-third of the common sense in them that your little book has.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“It meets the strongest need for the mass of young men, who have failed most of them, to receive the training outlined in the books for boys—who are ignorant utterly as to just their own degree of responsibility, and who will find in your careful statement of the problem as a whole, not only invaluable direction, but a guarantee of healthier and happier life for both husband and wife.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“I feel sure that the book which you have had the privilege to write must do every young man good who reads it. To inculcate in society this sound view that knowledge upon these subjects is not only compatible with delicacy, but requisite to it, is one of the most important contemporary duties of teachers, whether in the pulpit, on the rostrum, in the sanctum, or in the class-room.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“I have just laid down your book, ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ after a very interested perusal of it. The rare discrimination and delicate sense displayed in the handling of your theme are especially commendable. To say a bold courageous thing on a confessedly delicate subject, without any offence to true modesty, is a fine achievement. All manhood and womanhood ought to thank you.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“In a straightforward, clean, kind, clear and convincing way you discuss the ‘Young Husband’ question. A copy ought to go with every marriage certificate. The book is timely and full of wisdom.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“I regard Dr. Stall’s latest book as equal to the others in its delicate but plain-spoken chapters concerning the facts the men to whom it is addressed ought to know. I hope it will have a wide circulation.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ like the earlier books of the series, is judicious in its selection of topics and wise in its treatment of them. Your admirable work will enable many young husbands to learn what they ought to know without paying the high tuition fee exacted in the school of experience.”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“What a vast amount of suffering and wretchedness would be prevented, and how many happy homes could be saved, if all young men before they are married would read and profit by Dr. Sylvanus Stall’s book, entitled ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know.’”
What Eminent People in America Say.
“It is much to find a writer who may touch upon these subjects with a strong, firm, true, and yet delicate pen; and you are doing good service to humanity by such work. I am indeed glad to know that your former works have been so highly commended, and where such commendation will do great good.”
REV. NEWELL DWIGHT HILLIS.
Pastor of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, N. Y., and author of
“The Investment of Influence,” “A Man’s
Value to Society,” etc.
“I have read your book with care and interest. It is a wholesome and helpful contribution to a most difficult subject, and its reading will help to make the American home happier and more safely guarded.”
HOWARD A. KELLY, M.D.

University, Baltimore, Md.
“The book ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know’ can be heartily recommended. It handles in a plain but delicate and reverential manner subjects that should be thoroughly understood by every adult man, but which often are first learned by him through bitter experience. If the knowledge contained in it were more generally diffused, many sad duties left for the physician would become unnecessary.”

“I have recommended it to a good many old as well as ‘young’ husbands, and am satisfied of its usefulness to them. I shall continue to commend it, and also the other books of the series.”

“Your new book, ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ should be in the hands of every young man who contemplates marriage. The work, while thoroughly refined in style and treatment, is vigorous and direct in its teaching and application of essential truths. Purity, happiness and health will be with those who heed its teachings. It is a sound and practical volume, and deserves a wide circulation.”

School and Hospital; Gynæcologist to St. Mark’s
Hospital; Gynæcologist to the German
Poliklinik.
“There is nothing in the book which every man entering upon such new duty in life should not know. I personally feel that its possession, and following it in practice by young husbands, would be conducive to a purer life and more happiness. I shall most cheerfully commend it whenever an opportunity presents itself.”
OLIVER EDWARD JANNEY, M.D.

“If it could be placed in the hands of prospective husbands a vast amount of unhappiness and disease would be avoided, and the well-being of the race advanced. It is not wickedness, but ignorance that wrecks lives on the threshold of marriage, and this book teaches.”
PAUL F. MUNDE, M.D., LL.D.
Professor of Gynæcology at the New York Polyclinic and
at Dartmouth College; Gynæcologist to Mount
Sinai Hospital.
“I have looked through your book, entitled, ‘What a Young Husband Ought to Know,’ and am impelled by its contents and the careful and delicate manner in which you endeavor to communicate to a man about to enter the married state, ‘what every young husband ought to know,’ if he would ensure his marital happiness and save his wife as much as possible from the many afflictions unfortunately not always separable from that state. I am impelled, I repeat, to depart from my custom of refusing to endorse semi-medical publications intended for the lay-reader. Your previous work on ‘What a Young Man Ought to Know,’ has once before induced me to commit the same departure, and I feel that I am but adding my humble share toward the good work which I think you are conscientiously endeavoring to perform, in repeating substantially the commendation of the former book as applied to the present.”
