Dr.Nicole says: This vital fluid(semen) of mancarried back and diffused through his system makes
him manly, strong, brave and heroic. If wasted, it
leaves him effeminate, weak and physically
debilitated and prone to sexual irritation anddisordered function, a wretched nervous system,
epilepsy, and various other diseases and death. The
suspension of the use of the generative organs is
attended with a notable increase of bodily andmental and spiritual vigor.
