An Appeal to Mothers (Ellen G. White, 1864) is a moral and health-focused exhortation aimed at mothers, warning about the harms of ‘secret vice’ (solitary vice) among youth and its physical, mental, moral, and spiritual consequences. The work diagnoses symptoms in children, traces social and familial causes, and urges practical child-rearing measures—self-control, industriousness, plain diet, religious instruction—and repentance and reform grounded in Christian faith.
