is.
19. DO NOT MARRY THE WRONG OBJECT.--Themistocles said he would rather marry
his daughter to a man without {177} money than to money without a man. It
is well to have both. It is fatal to have neither.
20. DEMAND A JUST RETURN.--You give virtue and purity, and gentleness and
integrity. You have a right to demand the same in return. Duty requires it.
21. REQUIRE BRAINS.--Culture is good, but will not be transmitted. Brain
power may be.
22. STUDY PAST RELATIONSHIP.--The good daughter and sister makes a good
wife. The good son and brother makes a good husband.
23. NEVER MARRY AS A MISSIONARY DEED.--If one needs saving from bad habits
he is not suitable for you.
24. MARRIAGE IS A SURE AND SPECIFIC REMEDY for all the ills known as
seminal losses. As right eating cures a sick stomach and right breathing
diseased lungs, so the right use of the sexual organs will bring relief and
restoration. Many men who have been sufferers from indiscretions of youth,
have married, and were soon cured of spermatorrhoea and other complications
which accompanied it.
25. A GOOD, LONG COURTSHIP will often cure many difficulties or ills of the
sexual organs. O. S. Fowler says: "See each other often spend many pleasant
hours together," have many walks and talks, think of each other while
absent, write many love letters, be inspired to many love feelings and acts
towards each other, and exercise your sexuality in a thousand forms ten
thousand times, every one of which tones up and thereby recuperates this
very element now dilapidated. When you have courted long enough to marry,
you will be sufficiently restored to be reimproved by it. Come,
UP AND AT IT.--Dress up, spruce up, and be on the alert. Don't wait too
long to get one much more perfect than you are; but settle on some one
soon. Remember that your unsexed state renders you over-dainty, and easily
disgusted. So contemplate only their lovable qualities.
26. PURITY OF PURPOSE.--Court with a pure and loyal purpose, and when
thoroughly convinced that the disposition of other difficulties are in the
way of a happy marriage life, then _honorably_ discuss it and honorably
treat each other in the settlement.
27. DO NOT TRIFLE with the feelings or affections of each other. It is a
sin that will curse you all the days of your life.
