1822. It is a wonder how such spirits for the most part turn to secret arts, even to magic, so as to bewitch, so to speak, those with whom they want to be in high standing, and under whose auspices they are trying to take control. They shudder at nothing, however wicked, and being themselves poisoned to the core, which is a most horrible condition, they are just like subtle poisons that penetrate through the pores-just like that false spirituous fluid or blood.
