Excerpt from An Enquiry Into the Causes of the Great Sanitary Failure of the State Regulation of Social Vice: Being a Sequel to "Understood but Not Expressed; A Review of Certain Regulations "Existing (in the Alleged 'Interest of the Public Health') On "the Continent of Europe and Some British Colonies," by the Same Author Contagious Diseases Acts, certain of these Lock wards were certified for the purposes of the Act. The features which differentiated the certified from the other 'wards were the compulsory entrance of the patients and the duty imposed on the officials by the certificate, of detaining such patients until cured. The certified wards were enlarged as the (so-called) Government patients increased in number, principally in consequence of the compulsory entrance of patients who would otherwise have gone voluntarily (as formerly) to the Lock Wards of the Workhouse. An account, similar in all essential points, may be given of the London and some other Lock Hospitals associated with the system. Hospitals then, with their Christlike and merciful appliances, were the out come of prior motives and principles having no affinity with the Regulation system which was afterwards grafted upon them. Before the graft the woman went there of her own accord and the whole tenor of the treatment was aimed [at her own personal good, and prompted her to go and sin no more. After the graft, every patient was sent there by compulsion and under penal conditions, primarily for the alleged benefit of others, and the whole tenor of her treat ment pointed the way to go and Sin again. Before the graft, the religious instruction tended to reclaim. After the graft, the spiritual ministrations, associated, as they were, with instructions for the future avoidance for herself and her customers of the risks attaching to sin - instructions which constituted the hospital a veritable Technical School of Prostitution - tended to make her-what? A hardened pseudo-religious prostitute, looking upon her industry as respectable, if not even sanctified. The original hospital stock is good and merciful, and, we might almost say, holy. The graft upon it makes it a curse, and brings it under the judgment that the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
