Wednesday $6.50 Thursday 6.50 Friday 7.00 Saturday 12.00 Sunday 10.00 Monday 9.00 Tuesday 6.00 a total of $57. The following six days' receipts were as follows: Wednesday $6.00 Thursday 6.00 Friday 3.50 Saturday 8.00 Sunday 5.50 Monday 5.00 a total of $34. The following seven days' receipts are: Wednesday $6.00 Thursday 5.00 Friday 3.00 Saturday 7.00 Sunday 8.00 Monday 6.00 Tuesday 6.00 $41 in all. There were only five more days accounted for, when the girl ceased to keep any record of her receipts: Wednesday $3.50 Thursday 2.00 Friday 5.50 Saturday 4.50 Sunday 10.50 the total of these five days being $26. Thus in 32 days, this poorly dressed, rather ignorant and unsophisticated street walker, earned $211, an average of between $6 and $7 per day. Practically all the figures in the above concern profits derived from the sale of the bodies of women. In addition, the exploiters--owners and madames mainly--derive further gain (by no means inconsiderable in amount) from such items as the sale to their women, at exorbitant prices, of clothing and other feminine requirements. Huge as these immediate profits of exploitation are, they are enormously increased by the vast sums made from the sale of intoxicating drinks, which business has been shown to be so closely allied with prostitution, and by abnormal rentals received for the use of all kinds of property for purposes of prostitution. Even then, the stupendous although unknown figure involved in the maintenance of this army of upwards of 15,000 women in New York City fails to indicate what prostitution costs society. For perhaps the greatest cost of all is yet to be mentioned, namely, disease. Wherever prostitution exists, there venereal disease flourishes,--maiming, incapacitating the participants surely, and not infrequently innocent ones in close association with them. Reliable and complete statistics as to the prevalence of venereal disease, its consequences immediate and remote, are not to be had. In the absence of compulsory reporting, it is impossible to estimate the number of cases under treatment by physicians; in addition to these, large numbers endeavor to conceal the truth by foolishly resorting to quacks, advertised nostrums, etc. Figures obtainable from hospitals represent, therefore, only a fraction, probably an inconsiderable fraction, of those afflicted; as far as they go, a careful study elicits the following facts:
