for,unates whose minds are unsettled, as nnancs,
and in common justice to such We deem that these

The harm that hey do is not merel, getting money
under false pretenses, but by encouraging and e1.
tending a belief in the nonsense by which they
thrive, causing hundreds of the ignoran, to spread
wonderful reports of their dolngs, and keeping alive
the embers OF a superstition which bat for the unrea-

some unhearl-0f foreign Professor, with long list
of forged certificates tackled to the unpronounceabe
cognOmen, cheat the poor and foolish into tho belief
that they are really Magcians and Sorcerers such as
are read OF in the Arabian Nights" OF course no
sensible person will go near the humbugs, but aswe
have observed, they should be driven ont OF thecny
