TREATMENT OF MOTHERS

Cable Dispatch to the New York World
Vienna, April 2S.-Dr. S. L. Schenk, pro-
fessor of embryology in the Royal and I'M
perial University of Vienna, has published
a book In which he discloses the treatment
in which, he claims, he can infallibly deter
mine the sex of a child to be born-can
make sure the child shall be a boy, not
girl.
AS has been cabled to the World, Prof.
Schenk is a savant of European reputa-
ton, a learned and serious scientist who
does not exploit his discovery for money;
who refuses to treat patients7for fees, now
ever tempting.
AS a scientist and physician of reputation
he had submitted his treatment in conf
dence to the Imperial Academy of Science
of Vienna. To the world, through these
columns, he had affirmed this much
First-The sex of the child is Influenced
solely and entirely by the mother --ss..--...
Second-During several stages of its de-
yelopment, the child unborn is neither male
nor female, but sexless.
Third-The blood of a man contains one
fifth more blood corpuscles than the blood
of a woman
(Blood corpuscles are visible only I'M
der the microscope. They have a disk
like shape and they float in the blood, usu-
ally adherring to each other, SO that under
the microscope lot of them look like a
stack of coin. These corpuscles carry OK
ygen in the blood. life giving, nourishing
oxygen" as Professor Schenk puts it,
Fourth-The difference in the number of
corpuscles in the blood of a man and or
woman Is the basis not only OF the dli-
ference of sex but of the moral and physl-
cal powers of a man and of a woman. In
a word, man is man because he mas

Eighth-The necessity for giving this food
is to be learned by determining If the wo-
man secretes sugar Constant and con-
scientious tests for sugar must be made.
If not the slightest trace of sugar is found
at anytime before the birth of the child,
1t will be male. If sugar is constantly
found before the birth of the child it will
be female. The nitrogenized food is
given to rid the future mothers system of
