-----Original Message----- From: Nancy Reynolds [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 20 July 2000 19:15 To: [log in to unmask] Cc: [log in to unmask] Subject: Looking for 19th Century Devices A Texas pediatrician collects antique medical devices and has asked for sources to contact to find devices used to prevent masturbation in children. I have found illustrations and descriptions of their uses for a knee crutch and a brace used "to prevent manual masturbation" in the book "Treatment of the Diseases of Children" by Charles Gilmore Kerley, 2nd ed., W.B. Saunders, 1909, pp. 455-58. If anyone can suggest sources to contact about the availability and prices of such medical devices, please let me know directly. Thank you!
