The physician Dr. Montefiore J. Moses[1] was a president of the American Pediatric Society.[2]

Circumcision promotion

In 1871, the "Israelite"[3] Moses strongly recommended circumcision as a preventive measure against masturbation. He published an article in which he stated that "Jews were immune to masturbation solely because they were circumcised, and that non-Jews were especially prone to masturbation and to the horrible diseases that resulted from masturbation solely because they had a foreskin."[4]
