ABSTRACT
I have already often had occasion to mention the absorption of seminal substances by the feminine organism, and have, on various occasions, referred to the favourable and stimulating effects of these substances on many vital processes. The changes in young women as brides and during the first years of their married life have always arrested the attention of their neighbours. These changes are both bodily and mental, and have always been associated, in public opinion, with the absorption and assimilation of semen; and many homely proverbs testify to this belief.
