This story appeared in the York Daily Record Web site:
"For one night only, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine in Frederick will be displaying a rare original Civil-War-era contraceptive device. This artifact has never previously been displayed at the museum.
The 19th-century condom will be displayed Thursday during a 7:30 p.m. lecture titled "Sex in the Civil War" by museum Executive Director George Wunderlich.
"'Sex during the Civil War era was not much different than it is today,' Wunderlich said, 'although our society's views on sex have dramatically changed since that time period.'"
This is a clear example of a story being useless without pictures.
ewwww, sounds like another use for hogmaw casing.
