Extract

The authors record three medico-legal observations of imbecile prostitutes. The subjects all presented numerous stigmata of degeneracy, and displayed extremely perverse instincts. Attention is drawn to the large proportion of congenitally weakminded persons to be found amongst prostitutes and vagrants, and measures of special restraint for individuals of that class are recommended.
