FAMILY LIMITATION. 7 If you have bathing conveniences, go as quickly as possible to the bath room after the sexual act and prepare a douche. Lie down upon the back in the bath tub. Hang the filled douche bag high over the tub, and let the water flow freely into the vagina, to wash out the male sperm which was deposited during the act. Do not be afraid to assist the cleansing by introducing the first finger with the tube and washing out the semen from the fold of the membrane. One can soon learn to tell by the feeling when it is sufficiently clean. It is said, that the French women are the most thorough douchers in the world, which helps greatly in keeping the organs in a clean and healthy condition, as well as preventing the male sperm from reaching the womb to mate with the ovum. When there are no bath room conveniences — a douche can be taken over the toilet or when that is impossible it can be taken over a vessel in a squatting position. SOLUTIONS FOR DOUCHING. Following are some of the solutions to be used for the douche, which, when carefully used will kill the male sperm or prevent its entering the womb : Lysol — is a brown oily liquid which added to water forms a clear soapy solution. Ten drops of lysol to 2 quarts of water (warm) makes a good solution for douching. Mix into a pitcher or vessel before placing it in the bag. Potassium Permanganate.— This also makes a good solution, especially where there is a vaginal discharge. The special objection to this is that it stains the skin and clothing. This can be purchased in crystal form, and one-half teaspoonful dissolved in two quarts of water is the proper strength. Salt solution.— Mix four tablespoons of table salt in one quart of warm water and dissolve thoroughly. This is good and cheap. Vinegar solution.— Many peasants in Europe use vinegar as an antiseptic almost exclusively. One glassful to two quarts of water is the strength usually desired. Cider vinegar is preferred. Douche afterward with clear water. Cold water douche. — This will sometimes remove the semen quite effectively without the aid of an antiseptic.
