To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
to entail upon offspring, one by one, unnatural appetites, debased habits, polluted tastes, and diseased conditions ? The power you give to man to crush out the life of the wife whom he has sworn to " love, honor, and protect, " by long years of torture, or the quick frenzy of an hour? To compel her to ex- hausting toil, not only in her own support, but to make amends for his unfaithfulness in the support and protection of their children, and, worse than all, to become the mother of those who m...ust both inherit and perpetuate the curse which has blighted their life? Can the wife and mother, whose spirit is broken, by seeing her youthful hopes prostrate before her, who with every passing hour feels the burden of another's sin, whose very soul is steeped in despair, can she give birth to beings harmonious and beautiful ? No matter how noble her own spirit, no matter how amiable and gentle, how pure and true she may have been, if her husband is a drunkard, the "trail of the serpent is over them all.
