We have a 1920 copy of "The People Home Medical Book" by T.J.Ritter, M.D.,Assistant to the chair of the theory and practice of medicine of the University of Michigan; He assures us that masturbation will blind ya, cripple ya, rot your brain, you name it; I don't know that he establishes any connection between masturbation and toenail fungus.

I knew a fundamentalist 30 years ago in Canada, father of kids from toddler up to high school, who would not allow any publications from the american "Moral Majority" in his home. He had found at least one reference condemning the evil of masturbation in their material. He wasn't angry with them for condemning masturbation; he was angry with them for mentioning masturbation in supposedly Christian literature.
