Scope and content
A collection of seven "sex facts" publications, written by Dr. S. Dana Hubbard of New York. The publications were sold together, and the advertised objective was to "preserve the health and prevent disease" by providing medical information on venereal disease, medical quackery, white slavery, and more in a way that was objective and easy to understand. The publications weer intended to be accessible to any audience, regardless or sex or age, and could also be used by nurses, educators, and welfare workers. A note in the back of the publication states that they are looking for others to sell the books on their behalf, on commission.
Dr. Hubbard also produced a movie titled "some wild oats" which is advertised in the publications and seems to give similar information to Dr. Hubbard's published works. The film was released in 1919 and the showings would include a lecture.
On the publications, Dr. Hubbard is identified as "attending dermatologist to the New York City Children's Hospital, dermatologist Letchworth Village, Director Bureau Public Health Education, New York City Department of Health".
