feel well and strong, the sleep should be sound, and the mind clear. Whenever this is not the case, when the limbs feel languid, the appetite feeble or capricious, the headache, the intellect dull, and the faculties sluggish, then there certainly is excess, and the act should be indulged in more rarely. Those who strictly observe these rules will need no others, and will incur no danger from over-indulgence."— Prof. O. S. Fowler.
INSTINCT OR YOUR FEELING CAN JUDGE.
The best guide, when desirous of knowing if you indulge to excess, is your own feelings. When living under martial conditions and you seem to be lacking in energy, when your strength seems to be lessening, when that "tired feeling" becomes chronic, if you are taking precautions to follow the rules that demand regular exercise, nourishing, wholesome diet, proper bathing, and a copious supply of pure air at all times, you can at once conclude that sexual excess has something to do with your weakness.
Of course, the remedy under these circumstances is first, temperance, preferably entire abstinence in all sexual relations.
