Overview
1866. Trall writes in the Preface that: The public has too long ignored as indelicate, or as too intricate and mysterious to be comprehended except by those who are educated in all the branches of the medical profession, the subjects which lie at the very foundation of their earthly well-being; while the medical profession has wrapped its knowledge, vague and unsatisfactory as it is, in so many folds of technicalities, that the nonprofessional readers find little except confusion worse confounded in the standard works. Contents: The Male Organs of Generation; The Female Organs of Generation; The Origin of Life; Sexual Generation; The Physiology of Menstruation; Impregnation; Pregnancy; Embryology; Parturition; Lactation; The Law of Sex; Regulation of the Number of Offspring; The Theory of Population; The Law of Sexual Intercourse; Hereditary Transmission; and Philosophy of Marriage.Book Details
