NOTES.
[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 ἁγἁπη and ιῥωή is too familiar to all scholars to need extended mention. See Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament, sub voce.
