- COMMENTS - A treatise on the “Sexual Passion,” by Dr.
- Gallavardin, Lyons, France, reported that a clergyman 
of Mississippi, the founder of an orphan asylum, discovered that Origanum majorana, or common marjoram, 
in a certain sense may be considered as a specific against sexual passion.
- It proved effective in masturbation 
and excessively aroused impulses.
- Gallavardin used it in the 4c dilution as he has not found the higher po tencies effective.
- He dissolved five or 
six globules of this dilution in four teaspoonfuls of fresh water and the young masturbator takes of this every 
two days, a quarter of an hour before the meal, one teaspoonful.
- If the cure is not accomplished eight days after this solution is used up, the same dose is repeated in the same 
way.
- When desired, this remedy can be used according to Gallavardin without the knowl edge of the patient, by 
pouring a teaspoonful into the soup, milk or chocolate.

times it does not appear.
