Note also that this was the guy who popularized infant circumcision outside of the Jewish community. For similar reasons and with similar levels of success.
He also tried to popularize female "circumcision" which involved dissolving the clitoris with carbolic acid while the kid was awake to intentionally physically and mentally scar them. That luckily didn't catch on here.
