8 FAMILY LIMITATION. But as the semen can hide itself away in the wrinkled lining of the vaginal cavity, the cold water will only impede its progress for a time. As soon as the warmth of the body revives its activity, the semen continues on its journey to meet the ovum. Every woman should possess a good two quart rubber douche bag called fountain syringe. Hang it high enough to insure a steady direct flow. Bulb syringes, such as the whirling spray syringes, have been found satisfactory by many women for the purpose of injecting antiseptic solutions. Directions with syringe. Some women use the douche before the sexual act as a preventive. If this is done, any astringent such as boric add, alum, citric acid, hydrochlorate of quinine used in the solution will do. Only a pint of solution is needed for this purpose, following the act a larger douche is used as a cleanser. This can also be done with the regular antiseptic douche. THE USE OF THE CONDOM OR SHEATH. There is little doubt that a thorough douching of the genital passage with an antiseptic solution performed by skilled hands immediately after the sexual act would destroy the male sperm, and nothing else would be necessary. But there is always the possibility that the sperm has entered the womb before the solution can reach it. It is safer therefore to prevent the possibility of the contact of the semen and the ovum, by the interposition of a wall between them.

In this way the sperm does not enter the vagina (woman's body). The condoms are obtainable at all chemist shops at various prices. There are some of skin gut and some of rubber tissue. These are seamless, thin and elastic and yet tough ; and if properly adjusted will not break. Fear of breaking is the main objection to their use. If space has not been allowed for expansion of the penis, at the time the semen is expelled, the tissue is likely to split and the
