Actually this one might be a better choice, since it is more vague in terms of "solitary vice" and "self abuse"...

http://www.gutenberg.org/files/28458/28458-h/28458-h.htm#CHAPTER_XIX

It has a great conclusion:

"The victim of self-abuse has, through the frequent repetition of the habit, built up an undue amount of brain that is sensitive to local irritation of the sex-organs or to mental pictures of sex-pleasure. She must now allow this part of the brain to become quiescent, and she should go to work to build up other brain centers. Let her train her sight by close observation of form, color, size, location. Let her cultivate her sense of hearing in the study of different qualities of sound, tone, pitch, intensity, duration, timbre; her sense of touch, by learning to judge with closed eyes of different materials, of quality of fiber, of the different degrees of temperature, of roughness or smoothness, of density; in fact, let her endeavor to become alert, observant, along all the lines of sense-perception. Let her study nature, leaf-forms, cloud-shapes, insects, flowers, birds, bird-songs, the causes of natural phenomena; and, above all, let her keep out of the realm of the artificial, the sentimental, the emotional, and, holding firmly to the thought that creative energy is symbolized by desire and can be dignified and consecrated to noblest purposes, she will find herself daily growing into a stronger, more beautiful self-control."

Lynne, would it be possible for me to re-upload my recording with a slight change? When I recorded it a few days ago, I used copy that I found on Project Gutenberg. One of the sentences said, “If you would protect your body, guard your mind.” But today before I went to upload it, I followed along with a version of the book on Internet Archive that said, “If you would perfect your body, guard your mind.” I thought oh no, I read it wrong, so I re-recorded that one sentence. But I’ve noticed that some sources of the book use protect and some use perfect. I think they may have changed it in later versions of it. Anyway, I just like the way protect sounds better than perfect. It makes more sense to me. So can I redo that sentence again and re-upload it?

Thanks,
Andrea

Go ahead. I haven't PL'd it yet (our DPL has had to take a hiatus due to health issues). Let me know when you've done it.

Hi Lynne,

Here's my contribution in memory of my mother, Ruth Heneberger Tharp (1917-2009), who never failed to crack me up when she read Jerome's Three Men in a Boat to me when I was young. :lol:

“A victim to one hundred and seven fatal maladies” from Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927)
Text: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/308/308-h/308-h.htm (text starts at fourth paragraph of Chapter One)
Duration: 6:45
MP3: https://librivox.org/uploads/lynnet/cb017_victimfatalmaladies_wt_128kb.mp3

Hope your PC woes are brief!

Hi Lynne,

I think this short article may be fitting into this collection. It's about the diet of children, and is taken from this woman's health guide by Amelia Young, who seems to have done a lot to inform women about their body and health.
