that it is that Hyd. Cum Creta

is the whole pith of my TERRIBLE
DOWNFALL. | was not to be allowed
to do more good to suffering humanity
than they, and that's ali the trouble
now, pure jealousy of my success
from my fellow practitioners. [ have

you have naught to do but to attempt
to bespatter me with your walIowings

visit yonder cemetery and spend your
time in mourning over the many fair
lives that have been rendered up under
your ministerings. Think Of the
many immortal souls that will face you
in the day Of judgement but to curse
you. Who my traducers are every
body knows, therefore | have not been
