ABSTRACT
Sterility depends either on imperfect organisation, or imperfect action of the organs of generation. The menses may be obstructed or sparing, or they may be too profuse or frequent. In many cases of sterility, where the general health is considerably in fault, and especially where the digestive organs are torpid, should have much confidence in a Thomsonian course. It is calculated to arouse the capillary vessels throughout the whole system, and thus to open the secretions, to remove obstructions, and free the blood of those effete and phlegmy materials which nature requires to be thrown off. There have been several means proposed and practised for checking conception. The foregoing measures for sterility are suitable in cases of impotency. Occasional nocturnal emissions, accompanied with erection, and pleasure, are by no means to be considered a disease; though they have given many a one much uneasiness.
