Footnote 48:
Constrictor Cunni Muscle.—In women the bulbocavernosus muscles, right and left, form, as it were, a sphincter to the vaginal outlet. Hence the alternative names of sphincter vaginæ and constrictor cunni muscle. The latter name is in common use in Germany, but, though appropriate, is rarely employed in England.—TRANSL.
Footnote 49:
“Prostitutes conceive often, but abort frequently.”
Footnote 50:
“Prostitutes become fecund when, abandoning their profession, they marry, or pass under the protection of a single man; in such cases they become pregnant, they are always happy, and their children are as healthy as those of other women.”
Footnote 51:
Compare stanzas 46 and 47 of “Venus and Adonis”:
His ears up-prick’d; his braided hanging mane Upon his compass’d crest now stands on end; His nostrils drink the air, and forth again, As from a furnace, vapours does he send: His eye, which scornfully glisters like fire, Shows his hot courage and his high desire.
Sometimes he trots, as if he told the steps, With gentle majesty and modest pride; Anon he rears upright, curvets and leaps, As who should say, “Lo! thus my strength is tried; And this I do to captivate the eye Of the fair breeder that is standing by.”
Footnote 52:
NOTE.—In Germany, the term Ausfallserscheinungen is used as a general name for the various disorders of the climacteric period. The word Ausfall means literally a falling out, or shedding, as of the hair. No precise English equivalent of the term is known to me, nor is one really needed, the phrase disorders of the climacteric being sufficiently distinctive.—TRANSL.

1. Silently corrected typographical errors and variations in spelling. 2. Archaic, non-standard, and uncertain spellings retained as printed. 3. There are references to temperatures in Rankine units. I doubt this would be meaningful when referring to human temperatures but I did not alter them. 4. Footnotes were re-indexed using numbers and collected together at the end of the last chapter. 5. Enclosed italics font in underscores.
