_Fig. 5_), Cowper's Duct (_n_, _Fig. 5_), the Testicles and Spermatic
Cord (_h_, _f_, _k_, _Fig. 5_), indeed all the sexual apparatus,
including the bulbous sympathetic nerves lying just inside the spine,
from the small of the back down to the end of the organ, become filled
with dark, thick and stagnated blood. The Prostate Gland swells and
becomes enlarged, the Seminal Vesicles become weak, baggy and filled
with a thin, glairy fluid that oozes out into the urine and urine canal
on any little strain, exertion or excitement; especially when, after
being in the presence of the opposite sex, weak, feeble erections
follow. The testicles become flabby and stringy and no longer make
strong, healthy, fecund vital fluid. The constant calls upon them has
exhausted them as also the nerves that gave them life, strength and
vitality. A heavy dragging +weight+ is often felt in the +groin+,
especially after walking or long standing. There is a feeling of
+weakness+ and +exhaustion+ in the parts. Often +strange sensations+
shoot through the parts, and they are +cold+ and +clammy+ at one time,
while +weak+ and +sweating profusely+ at another.

by the +vital fluid+ from the +Testicle+ (where it is made) to the
Seminal Vesicles (where it is stored). The penis is shown cut off at
dotted line _g_.

As shown here the +vital fluid+ secreted in the minute tubules of the
healthy testicle is gathered into the vas deferens or conveying tube
_k_, which passing through the groin dips behind the bladder _a_ and
empties into the Seminal Vesicles or Storehouse _b_. From here it is
