Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ladies' Repository, 1852, Vol. 12: A Monthly Periodical, Devoted to Literature and Religion Your curiosity prompts you to call upon him, and you find him in a long room, lined with drugs, and books, and apparatus - books rare and ill assorted; drugs botanical and mineral, in doses spoonful and infinitesimal; and apparatus to cure you either by wind power, steam power, or water power. Ou his table lies the Koran, a copy of which he has just procured, and is now reading. He talks so as to give you no opportunity to reply and to give you a proof of his boldness and skill, he assures you that the last time he was at Church he challenged the successor of the apostles to test his commission by taking a dose of arsenic. You leave him with mingled pity and disgust, fearing that he is a hopeless case; but a year subsequent inquiring after him - you learn that he was put into a state of clairvoyance and heard unutterable words, and since that has been a devoted Christian. Here is a man of several mental vices, the chief of which is a tendency to believe on insufficient evidence. Nor is he fan's aois. In classic story we read of one whose body was so light that he was obliged to put lead in his shoes to prevent the wind from blowing him over - fit emblem he of many minds; and such minds, unless very favor ably situated, are pretty sure to become skeptical.
