On Sterility in the Male and Female, Its Causes and Treatment (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from On Sterility in the Male and Female, Its Causes and Treatment No greater misfortune can, generally speaking, be entailed upon a married couple, than that of Sterility. The absence of offspring seems, at once, to defeat the ends and aim of the matrimonial compact, and often embitters a connection, which, if attended with a family of children, would be one of great happiness. The subject is a cause of constant and mutual re crimination between the husband and wife. Under these circumstances, the confidential medical adviser of the family is consulted; but as this is a subject to which little attention has usually been paid, and as there is no professional treatise upon it, but little light can be thrown by him upon the causes, 'nature, and treatment, of this malady.
