[Apostle John Henry Smith Diary] Liverpool
Bro. Lambert and myself visited the Anatomical Museum of Liverpool. It shows the effects of vanerial diseases upon the parents also upon children born of diseased parents. It also shows the frightfull effects of masterbation on both men and women. We saw models life size of women in all stages of pregnancy. One case was that of a woman with twins, one white and the other black. Another frightfull thing was a man with child supposed to be a twin, and to have been born in him. The fearfull effects of vaccination where bad vaccine was used. The bad effects of tight lacing was also shown. We saw the Florantine model of Louisse Lateau, born in Belgium. She bleeds from the same parts of the body our saviour did.
