Attention to home and for home
begets chemical changes that soon bring about better fusion of souls. Most unhappy marriages owe much of their bitter fruits to too great physical intimacy and the consequent magnetic exhaustion ;* the cure for which is to be found in separate couches till Ae balance is restored.
Proof: how dear John and Mary are to each

But when
the bodies are mutually filled with the same kind of magnetism they instantly cease to attract and begin to repel; hence never let, such be the case, and marriage in its other aspect will bp^ugary all along the valle}r.
