A total of 7 vertical electrical sounding stations were established within the site... Continue Reading
CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION Procreation is an important moral and religious issue and aphrodisiacs are sought to ensure both male and female potency. Sexual potency is part of the male ego, the anxiety and the humiliation that are associated with a declining sexual ability are common to all cultures. That is why the popularity of aphrodisiacs has... Continue Reading
