D.'s views and sense of humor: "Dear Doctor: Enclosed find one dollar for the CRITIC AND GUIDE as per "ad" enclosed. I am pleased with your policy as outlined in your little magazine, and trust you will keep up the good fight. I am certainly in accord with your views as regards the limiting of offspring and cannot see any reason why the poor man and the poorer woman should be burdened with a large family that cannot be clothed, cared for, or educated as human beings should be; but the great thing that confronts us is th manner by which conception can be harmlessly prevented. There are so many of our good husky mothers and dutiful wives that conceive upon sight of their husbands' photograph that it becomes a matter of grave importance to them, and I have been opportuned many times for a remedy and have had nothing sure to offer them that was agreeable to both parties. Yours truly, W. D. Jones, M. D., Devil's Lake, N. D." From: The Medical Critic and Guide, August 1906, Volume VII, No. 2, Page 59 ***
