From a Man of Seventy.
My age is seventy years, and, thanks to male continence, my health is good and I am as vigorous sexually as I ever was. My only regret is that I was not informed of it earlier in life. It is not only a splendid sanitary measure, but is a promoter of pleasure and the greatest harmoniser of domestic life that I know. It is my decided opinion that where this practice is adhered to, except where reproduction is desired, strife and contention, separation and divorce would never occur. It seems to me that no one who is seeking improvement would, after experiencing this practice, ever wish to go back to the crude sensual practice in whose wake follow satiety, exhaustion, disgust, and remorse.
The waste of vital and nerve force attending the usual custom of intercourse is, in my opinion, a leading cause of the craving for alcohol and tobacco; while in this new practice both parties, if magnetism exists, experience a renewal of life force that is in the highest degree wholesome. If young men would abide by this practice they would find that their self-control would be immensely enhanced in every department of life, and that they would retain the vigor and enjoyment of their sexual nature long after the generality of men have become impotent.

From a Woman.
Since my husband became acquainted with this new theory he has endeared himself to me a hundredfold; and although our so-called “honeymoon” was passed five years ago, it was no more real and far less lasting than the ecstatic, the unspeakable happiness which is now continually mine. My prosaic and sometimes indifferent husband has changed by a heavenly magic into an ardent and entrancing lover, for whose coming I watch with all the tender raptures of a schoolgirl. His very step sends a thrill through me, for I know that my beloved will clasp me in his arms and cover me with kisses, such as only the most enthusiastic lover could give. And though the years lapse, I cannot see or feel any change in the way he cherishes me. To each other we are continually objects of the deepest reverence and the most sacred mystery. Our affection deepens, our romance seems as sure and as enduring as the stars. I date my marriage from the time that he became a student of Zugassent, for that was the beginning of our assured happiness.
But it is not alone as a cherishing lover that my husband has become the crown of my happiness. He has grown perceptibly nobler in character, in purpose, and in strength; so that besides a lover I have a strong friend, a wise councillor, and my happiness is complete.
