1861. The minister. David B. Blair,
Chester. had been sentenced to 80 days
in Jail and to pay a fine of $50 after
a State policemen testified he was adj
vised to place pinch Of salt in his
shoes and put salt in his bed in the
form of across when he complained to
Blair that he could not sleep at night.
In his opinion the justice said: The
advice Blair gave that the witness
should put pinch of salt in his shoes
and also in his bed is foolish. but he
did not furnish the salt. nor did he as
sert that the salt to be used was any
but ordinary salt.
I'VE cannot determine whether he
was sincere. There are pretenders in
every sort of religion. We must ac-
cord to any one the right to believe
and assert that prayer will heal the
sick"
