Ludlow, and various other travellers, wrote regarding the use of
one, early in the year 1855, I was led to make two experiments ; but may God forgive me for so doing.
Nothing on earth could
induce me to repeat them, or to suffer others to do so, for I know no possible good, but much of unmitigated evil, can result therefrom. In attempting to gain lucidity, I strongly advise purely negmatic means, either at the hands of a judicious manipulator, or ’by, the means indicated herein.
