This is especially true, as has been intimated above, since contraceptive knowledge now permits the exercise of sexual functions without the natural consequences, and the avoidance of motherhood no longer involves the denial of expression to the sexual urge.
There seems to be no greater wisdom of choice shown in mature than in early marriages, though this would be best answered by an analysis of divorce records. That contraceptive measures have come to stay; that they are increasing in use, the declining birth rate absolutely evidences.
Moreover, prolonged nursing has been found to be unreliable as a contraceptive. We know this upon good authority. It should not be depended upon at all. In the same class is the so-called "safe period" referred to in another chapter. For many women there is never any "safe period."
The women of the other group strive consciously by drastic means to protect themselves and the children already born. "Our examinations," says Dr. This fact brings us to the conclusion that contraceptive measures among the upper classes and the practice of abortion among the lower class, are the real means employed to regulate the number of offspring."

Rarely do these measures replace the natural act in satisfaction. Further, some are unable to conquer their repugnance and disgust and some are left excited and unsatisfied.
The result is that the average physician has felt that contraceptive methods are not yet established as certainties and has, for that reason, refused to direct their use. Specialists are so busy with their own particular subjects and general practitioners are so taken up with their daily routine that they cannot give to the problem of contraception the attention it must have.
I had decided that there could be no better way of demonstrating to the public the necessity of birth control and the welcome it would receive than by taking the knowledge of contraceptive methods directly to those who most needed it. A clinic was opened in Brooklyn.
These suppositories are disinfective as well as contraceptive, but they are at present sold for the ordinary purposes of birth-control. These tubes are also manufactured by Mr. Harman Freese, of Freese & Moon, 59, Bermondsey Street, S.E.1, in accordance with medical directions mentioned in Foreword.
