...language is deliberately dry and technical. Most of its passages would be Greek to Fanny Hill, hardly recognizable to Frank Harris.

In some cases, at least, its biochemical activity may completely defeat nature's purpose. In 39 patients, Dr. Masters has found a vaginal secretion that was absolutely lethal for spermatozoa; three more patients had an equally deadly cervical secretion. The chemical nature of these substances is not yet known, but since some of them kill all accessible sperm within ten seconds, Dr. Masters says, "research in this direction is important both from a conceptive...
