“Germs of Impurity” / Memorable Fancies #2799

 [An excerpt from the book Social Abominations, or The Follies of Modern Society Portrayed by Many Eminent Writers. Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, 1895:]

A thousand times rather never permit your child to be caressed by nurse and old relatives, and even repress sometimes your own tender inclinations, they intensify and foster latent germs of impurity. Kissing and embracing are by no means the only, as they are not the purest and tenderest, expressions of affection; their absence or infrequence are not of necessity signs of a cold and unloving nature.”
