1912 Dr. Edwin Hartley Pratt: hydrocephalus. Pratt frequently prescribed circumcision and other adjustments of the genitals as a preventative for masturbation and other "unnatural" behaviors. He was a particularly strong advocate of circumcision as a cure for rape, opining that if only rapists "had received the proper orificial attention earlier in their lives their criminal career would undoubtedly have been prevented."[13] He advocated removal of the hood of the clitoris as a cure for female masturbation, and hysterectomies as a cure for female insanity.
1912 Lydston G. Frank: sexual irritability, evil sexual habits such as masturbation.
1914 Abraham L. Wolbarst: nervous phenomena, convulsions and epilepsy, masturbation, nocturnal pollutions. "It is therefore not at all improbable that in many infants who die in convulsions the real cause of death is a long or tight prepuce."

1915 L. W. Wuesthoff: passion, rape, separation and divorce, unhappy marriage.
