Disturbance of the power of speech indicates disease in the convolutions about the fissure of Sylvius on the left...
Page 62 - With respect to the female sex we find a similar advantage of marriage over celibacy, but on the same condition. If young girls be turned into wives before twenty a like mortality befalls them which befalls the other sex. Everywhere young married people from eighteen to twenty years of age die as fast as old people from sixty to seventy years of age.
