ion existsin persons who suffer from irritable debihty of the genital organs. 4. Onanismal aspermatismus, as I would call a form which Ihave occasionally observed, but which is not mentioned by theauthors. It occurs in men who have masturbated considerably dur-ing their youth, with the consequence that the irritation causedby the frictions of the natural intercourse are not able to induce anejaculation. The member becomes flaccid before it takes place. Ihad for a considerable time a robust man, the father of six healthychildren, under my treatment. With him the ejaculation nevertook place naturally, but, after having made a number of frictionsin the vagina, he had to take his member out, work it per manumuntil the ejaculation threatened, and then quickly reintroduce it.The other men suffering from this kind of aspermatismus practicedthe same methods. Plate 65 gives the picture of a seminal ejaculation in relativeaspermatismus. It resembles in all parts a normal, fecund semen. PLATE 65

AZOÖSPEEMIA Is the form of male sterility where, with well-preserved capacityof coition and normal ejaculation, the liquid contains no sperma-tozoids. Causes.—1. This form occurs in robust young men with normaltesticles, without any previous disease, without demonstrable cause. 2. It occurs quite frequently in retention of the testes, or wherethey have been arrested in their development. 3. In parenchymatous disease of the substance of the testicles,as well as in neoplasms which lead to atrophy. 4. In obliteration of the seminal ducts, principally the result ofgonorrhoea! epididymitis. Liegois found but eight in eighty-threecases of double gonorrhoeal epididymitis that did not become defi-nitely sterile. 5. General diseases may, by weakening the organism, cause theabsence of spermatozoa; thus Levin found but ten times spemia-tozoids in persons
