Excerpt from Christian Science, Medicine, and Occultism Of course, I was often met by the rejoinder: 'we shall never fall a prey to so palpable a swindle; it is merely American humbugl' But to the practised eye, following impartially the trend of civilization in the United States, where not only industry and commerce flourish in an uncommon degree, but where science as well is pursued with unbounded enthusiasm, the mere mention of such words as 'american, ' 'humbug, ' and swindle' in the same breath appear as a delusion.
