A school friend of mine who lived in a large manufacturing town in New
York State, and has been married five years, had learned during the
first months of marriage this method of birth control. She was radiant
with happiness; did not desire a child until they had made provision for
the future. Husband worked ten hours in the electrical works, after
which he played a cornet in a concert, which kept him until after
midnight every night. Such long hours of labor would deplete and exhaust
the average man, but this fellow was as radiant and strong as one could
picture. Both claimed it is the practice of this method to which they
owe their health, strength, and happiness.
