* Sexually transmitted diseases and prevention. Instructions for the general public, especially sailors by Guðmundur Hannesson. Reykjavík. The Icelandic Government, 1920. Guðmundur Hannesson says, among other things, "Although it may seem strange, it is in fact right to consider alcohol as one of the main causes of sexually transmitted diseases. Most, if not most, of the men who contract sexually transmitted diseases have been exposed to it in drunkenness, not being completely sober. ..... Alcohol now has such an effect on most men that they feel they are becoming great men, hesitation and shyness disappear, and as the drinking party increases, the whispering voice of conscience and caution is heard less and less. However, all kinds of passions want to be aroused, and finally they drive the young and promising boy, blind and weak-willed, into the arms of the first prostitute who comes his way. His eyes are usually completely closed to the fact that she may be both ugly, depraved and sick, sometimes a bit of an idiot (it is estimated that about 1/3 (promiscuous city girls are actually half-stupid)


Having affairs with women outside of marriage seems at first glance the most natural remedy for those who cannot marry. Unfortunately, there are many things to consider. If promiscuous girls are sought, the young man is bound to meet the weakest girls, spoil his entire innermost emotional life, and make himself a worse man, although it is not excluded that this may well lead the inexperienced into miserable marriages.


When adolescent boys reach puberty and the gonads begin to function, semen is usually released spontaneously at intervals of a few weeks. In healthy men, this almost always happens during sleep, and they usually wake up with dreams about women and the like. This usually means nothing more than that the adolescent boy has now become a fully developed man.

Various massages or irritations of the genitals can cause the semen to be released, and this is accompanied by sexual pleasure. Accident, trickery, or bad example can lead boys to this, and then it becomes a habit or even a great passion. A similar habit can also affect women. If this is done a lot, it often makes men weak, lethargic, and sometimes shy and unproductive. This, among other things, leads to them having the greatest remorse and even mental anguish, being afraid that they are ruining their health or committing some mortal sin - but still cannot always stop this habit! All this can sometimes lead to a kind of weakening of the soul and body, depression, or some kind of nervousness, especially if they are teenagers or have done a lot of this.



"No one was too busy for the sailors, although they sometimes got lost in some strange places. It is easy for the settled countryman to live simply without any major extravagances. There are few temptations that confront him. Again, it is only human and natural, although the sailor is tempted to make a happy day when he finally reaches port."
* About influenza. Published at the expense of the National Treasury. Guðmundur Björnson, Medical Director, is said to have put this pamphlet together.
This is not about any ordinary cold. The year is 1918 and the Spanish flu is ravaging the country. At the end of the poem, the Director of Public Health says; " If someone dies from the flu.
Every household should take care to place the body in a coffin as soon as possible and have it buried in a quiet place as soon as possible.
"All the bodies of those who die of dengue fever are dangerous objects for the survivors."
* Opinion document of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Iceland on the plague. Compiled by Guðmundur Hannesson. Printed by order of the Government. Reykjavík, 1919.
Guðmundur Hannesson urges the nation to follow instructions on general infection prevention, and presents instructions on the isolation of homes and ships.
* Instructions on death certificates and death reports (cf. the Death Reports Act of 11 July 1911). Compiled by Guðmundur Björnsson, Medical Director. Reykjavík, 14 September 1911.
All of these are remarkable and rare.
