P. 20. HERMAPHRODITES AND ASEXUALISM.--Rokitansky decides Hohmann to be a case of _hermaphrodita vera lateralis_, and all who examine her say the same. See _Wiener Medicin. Wochenschrift_, October, 1868, and the _Medical and Surgical Reporter_, vol. xix. p. 487. A marked case of asexualism, proven so by a _post mortem_ examination, is reported in the _Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal_ for April, 1869, p. 338; and another in the _Medical Times and Gazette_ of about the same date. We might refer to many more recent and authentic cases. P. 25. AGE OF PUBERTY.--See case by Dr. T. H. Twiner, in the _Richmond and Louisville Medical Journal_, March, 1869, Raciborski, _De la Menstruation et de l'Age Critique chez la Femme_, p. 130. The quotation (p. 26) is from Dr. Edward Smith, _Cyclical Changes in Health and Disease_,--a profound work. Raciborski is the principal authority for this and the following section. Our own inquiries fully confirm his statements. P. 32. INFLUENCE OF THE MOON ON MENSTRUATION.--On this question, see the researches of M. Parchappe, _Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences_, tom. xvi. p. 550. See also Dr. Shrye, _Tractatus de Fluxu Menstruo_, in the _Acta Lipsiensia_ for 1686, p. 111; Dr. W. Charleton, _Inquisitio Physica de Causis Catameniorum_, p. 78; and Galen, _De Diebus Decretoriis_, lib. iii., for other curious particulars. P. 37. CHLOROSIS.--For the pathology of this disease, see Dr. Gaillard Thomas, _Diseases of Women_, p. 625, and Dr. C. H. Bauer, in the _Weiner Medicin. Zeitung_, No. 33, 1868. Occasionally the change at puberty leads to an affection very closely resembling typhoid fever, but which is strictly due to the sexual crisis; and often goitre commences at this period. See a review of Raciborski, in the _Bulletin de Therapeutique_, June, 1869. P. 39. MASTURBATION IN GIRLS.--See Miss Catherine E. Beecher, _Letters to the People on Health and Happiness_, p. 159. The late medical literature on the subject is abundant. See _Ueber die Behandlung der Masturbation bei kleinen Mädchen, Journal jür Kinderkrankheiten_, Bd. li. p. 360; H. R. Storer, _Western Journal of Medicine_, July, 1868; and _Journal of the Gynecological Society_, vol. i. No. 1. Pp. 50, 51. PREMATURE MARRIAGES.--See Dr. Duncan, _Fecundity, Fertility_, etc., p. 241; Reich, _Natur und Gesundheitslehre des Ehelichen Lebens_, p. 518. P. 56. HOLY LOVE.--The distinction between [Greek: haghapê] and [Greek: irhôhê] is too familiar to all scholars to need extended mention. See Trench, _Synonyms of the New Testament, sub voce._ Pp. 57, 58. SINGLE LIFE IN ITS RELATION TO SANITY AND MORTALITY.--The extraordinary statements in the text are vouched for by Dr. Casper, _Medicinische Statistik_, vol. ii. p. 164, and Dr. Reich, _Geschichte, Natur, und Gesundheitslehre des Ehelichen Lebens_, pp. 510, 511. We have compared the reports of a number of asylums for the insane, and find the proportions very nearly as great as stated by these authorities.
