For this Reason, the _Turks_ perform Castration in a different Manner from the _Italians_, since the former cut off _Penis_, _Testicles_, and all; and the latter only the _Testicles_. The Curious may consult _Bartholinus Anatom. Reformat. Lib. 1._ at the End of which, they will be informed why, and when it happens, that Horses and Bulls procreate their respective Species after Castration: The _Turks_, therefore, lest their Eunuchs should provide them with a spurious Progeny, treat them in a far more inhuman Manner, than the _Italians_ do. Since we have mentioned the _Turks_, it will not be improper to observe, that the _Persians_, though salacious, are, nevertheless, generally impotent: For since, on account of _Polygamy_, which they have in common with the _Turks_, they have a numerous Progeny to be supported; when they copulate with their Wives and Whores, they are not so sollicitous to procure an Offspring, as, like the infamous _Onan_, to emit a vapid and unprolific Seed, which, on account of the _Coffee_ corrupted in their Veins, may, by a Person acquainted with Chymical Principles, be justly compared to the Lees of Wine, in a great Measure deprived of the volatile Salt and Sulphur of the Wine: Or it may be compared to that of the Eunuchs of other less brutal Nations; or that of the _Scythians_, who are by _Hippocrates_, in _Lib. de Aere, Aquis, & Locis_, stiled _emasculated and effeminate Mortals_. The same Author, in the Work now quoted, assigns other Causes for the Sterility of the _Scythians_; "for, _says he_, they make so deep Incisions in the Veins behind their Ears, that when they come to be married, they are impotent." But _Olearius_ informs us, that without this Practice, the salacious _Persians_ emasculate themselves only by the Use of _Coffee_: Nor is this surprizing, since Salacity, instead of promoting Procreation, procures Sterility. Hence a common Strumpet rarely becomes pregnant, notwithstanding her frequent venereal Encounters with salacious Rakes and Debauchees. Besides, there is a vast Difference between stimulating, cold, and languid Constitutions to Venery, which is obtained by _Rocket_, and fecundating the _Semen_, which is obtained by some Vegetables, as Sweet Almonds, Pine Kernels, Pistachio Nuts, and Chesnuts; as also by Animals, as Capons, Larks, Thrushes, Kids-Flesh, Mutton, or Veal. I do not deny, but _Coffee_, _Chocolate_, and _Tobacco_, have a Power of stimulating to Venery, but may yet induce Sterility, because they consist of heterogeneous Parts, or rather act by their whole Substances: But all these Things are unfit for fecundating the _Semen_; as also all other Substances of a drying Quality, and not cold Substances, as is commonly believed. The Effeminacy and Impotence then produced by drinking _Coffee_, and smoaking _Tobacco_, are sufficiently obvious. And to these two, if I am not mistaken, good Judges will join _Tea_, because according to
