What a Father Should Tell His Son
By Isabelle Thompson Smart, M.D.

Volume 4 in the Mysteries of Life series
Copyright 1911, The Bodmer Company

A "birds and the bees" book for young men. Good condition for a book that was written in 1911. Small tear on bottom edge of binding, but overall, in good shape. Has all pages in tact, but does have some age discoloration overall.

Excerpt:
"The entire physical and mental structure of woman points to the grand purpose of her life and being, just as the physical structure of man denotes that he was intended to provide the material needs of the woman who makes his home and children possible. Woman is more sensitive than man and at times easily excited. Also likely to be impulsive and not so prone to stop and reason."
