He does not respect the person of his gestant wife, and this disregard of natural law is the most potent failure in the curtailment of natural increase. Certain physiological facts indicate that woman is destitute of desire. Carpenter, the great English scientist, is quoted in support of this proposition, and a ""female lecturer of distinction"" (name not given) to establish the theory that the chief cause of marital unhappiness and the ill health of wives is the sexual inhumanity of husbands--such inhumanity being quite as common among the better as among the uncultured.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
