I beg, first, that you who read, will, with unprejudiced and open mind, read to the end what is here written. It is my earnest conviction that there is not a man, woman, or child who is not personally and pro- foundly concerned in the matter, either directly as regards himself, or secondarily in the persons of relatives, friends, etc. The duty at least to listen is far more in- cumbent upon you if you have power or in- fluence with others as an educator, physi- cian, legislator, administrator, employer of men, or capitalist. If you have any feelings of religion, morality, or sympathy for your fellows, it behooves you to investigate and see. I am not writing at the behest of vanity, or self-interest. Every considera- tion born of selfishness would counsel silence. “Ich kann nicht anders.” 1 See “The Reception of Medical Discoveries,” Annals of Ophthalmology, October, 1904 (be- fore it fell into “organization” bands), or Biographic Clinics, vol. 3.
