They are women who show their husbands who by giving up their wives charged with 7 has 8 small enfens advised to them to save most extremely and to let perish the others. Indeed if you knew quality and little of foods which they you take would be surprised to see them vivres. Also they have only the skin sticks on the bones.

Notes

(1) It was the essential object of this investigation organized by the Intendant Nightingale.

(2) Faîne: fruit of the beech

(3) the situation of the priest feels poverty of its parishioners

It is probably starting from such letters that (under the pseudonym of Moheau), MONTYON, intendant of Auvergne of 1768 to 1770, regrets: ““ Already these disastrous secrecies, unknown with any animal other than the man, these secrecies penetrated in the campaigns: one misleads nature into the villages. ”” (MOHEAU H.: Research and considerations on the population of France. Paris, 1778)

But the priest of Bort (if not his flocks) is unaware of a practice attested as of this time, in the easy mediums it is true: the coitus interruptus…
