There is not a man or woman married or unmarried, who does not need to
know every word contained in “Sex Conduct in Marriage.” The very numerous
tragedies which occur every day, show the necessity for plain-spokenness
and honest discussion of the most vital part of married life.

It is impossible to conceive of the value of the book; it must
undoubtedly be read to be appreciated, and it is obviously impossible
to give here a complete summary of its contents. The knowledge is not
obtainable elsewhere; there is a conspiracy of silence on the essential
matters concerning sex conduct, and the object of the author has been
to break the barriers of convention in this respect, recognizing as he
does that no marriage can be a truly happy one unless both partners are
free to express the deepest feelings they have for each other without
degrading themselves or bringing into the world undesired children.

The author is an idealist who recognizes the sacredness of the sex
function and the right of children to be loved and desired before they
are born. Very, very few of us can say truly that we were the outcome of
the conscious desire of our parents to beget us. They, however, were not
to blame because they had not the knowledge which would have enabled them
to control conception.

Let us, then, see that our own marriage conduct brings us happiness and
enjoyment in itself and for our children.

A Book for Idealists by an Idealist

The greatest necessity to insure happiness in the married condition is to
know its obligations and privileges, and to have a sound understanding
of sex conduct. This great book gives this information and is absolutely
reliable throughout.

Dr. P. L. Clark, B. S., M. D., writing of this book says: “As regards
sound principles and frank discussion I know no better book on this
subject than Bernard Bernard’s ‘Sex Conduct in Marriage.’ I strongly
advise all members of the Health School in need of reliable information
to read this book.”

“I feel grateful but cheated,” writes one man. “Grateful for the new
understanding and joy in living that has come to us, cheated that we have
lived five years without it.”

_CHAPTER ONE_

AH WING RECEIVES A CLIENT

A taxicab stopped on the corner, and two people got out. They formed a
decidedly incongruous pair; for the first to alight was a diminutive
Chinese boy, scantily dressed, while his companion appeared to be a
portly white man.

It was impossible to be sure of this fact, however, as this second
passenger wore a long overcoat, with its ulster collar turned up around
his face, and a dark cloth cap with the visor drawn down over his
forehead and eyes.

Evidently the cab driver had been paid in advance, for he swung out from
the curb as soon as his fares had dismounted, and was soon out of sight.
The Chinese boy glanced at his companion, then set off silently up a
street whose central portion was paved with cobblestones.

He seemed to know just where he was going. He paused only once, to cast a
fleeting glance over his shoulder. Then he resumed his journey.

He had seen that the man in the ulster was following; and now, after
traversing half a block of squalid, deserted street, the youngster turned
abruptly into a pestilential-looking alley. This alley lay close to the
top of a hill, and for a moment the man and the boy, who appeared to be
his guide, could look down over the roofs to where the gay lights of
Chinatown twinkled alluringly.

Presently the diminutive Oriental paused just outside a doorway. The
man who had been following him came up, with a curious suggestion of
eagerness and suspicion. Looking over the shoulder of the figure before
him, he was able to make out the entrance to a narrow flight of unlighted
stairs, which plunged steeply into the earth beneath a dilapidated
building.

“Do we have to go down there, boy?” the man demanded.

“All a-same down here, master,” the youngster replied. “You come close—I
show you!”
