5.  THE CLEANSER will greatly stimulate the health and spirits of any woman who uses it.  Pure water injections have a stimulating effect, and it seems to invigorate the entire body.

6.  SALT AND WATER INJECTIONS.—­This will cure mild cases of leucorrhoea.  Add a teaspoonful of salt to a pint and a half of water at the proper temperature.  Injections may be repeated daily if deemed necessary.

7.  SOAP AND WATER.—­Soap and water is a very simple domestic remedy, and will many times afford relief in many diseases of the womb.  It seems it thoroughly cleanses the parts.  A little borax or vinegar may be used the same as salt water injections. (See No. 6.)

8.  HOLES IN THE TUBES.—­Most of the holes in the tubes of syringes are too small.  See that they are sufficiently large to produce thorough cleansing.

9.  INJECTIONS DURING THE MONTHLY FLOW.—­Of course it is not proper to arrest the flow, and the injections will stimulate a healthy action of the organs.  The injections may be used daily throughout the monthly flow with much comfort and benefit.  If the flow is scanty and painful the injections may be as warm as they can be comfortably borne.  If the flowing is immoderate, then cool water may be used.  A woman will soon learn her own condition and can act accordingly.

10.  BLOOM AND GRACE OF YOUTH.—­The regular bathing of the body will greatly improve woman’s beauty.  Remember that a perfect complexion depends upon the healthy action of all the organs.  Vaginal injections are just as important as the bath.  A beautiful woman must not only be cleanly, but robust and healthy.  There can be no perfect beauty without good health.

IMPOTENCE AND STERILITY.

1.  Actual impotence during the period of manhood is a very rare complaint, and nature very unwillingly, and only after the absolute neglect of sanitary laws, gives up the power of reproduction.

2.  Not only sensual women, but all without exception, feel deeply hurt, and are repelled by the husband whom they may previously have loved dearly, when, after entering the married state, they find that he is impotent.  The more inexperienced and innocent they were at the time of marriage, the longer it often is before they find that something is lacking in the husband; but, once knowing this, the wife infallibly has a feeling of contempt and aversion for him though there are many happy families where this defect exists.  It is often very uncertain who is the weak one, and no cause for separation should be sought.

3.  Unhappy marriages, barrenness, divorces, and perchance an occasional suicide, may be prevented by the experienced physician, who can generally give correct information, comfort, and consolation, when consulted on these delicate matters.

4.  When a single man fears that he is unable to fulfill the duties of marriage, he should not marry until his fear is dispelled.  The suspicion of such a fear strongly tends to bring about the very weakness which he dreads.  Go to a good physician (not to one of those quacks whose advertisements you see in the papers; they are invariably unreliable), and state the case fully and freely.
