Excerpt from The Black Arts in Medicine: With Anniversary Address This instinct in man, as the highest reasoning animal, exhibits itself under a somewhat different phase, to the form of it developed in the brutes; for after exhausting all natural aids, the principle of preservation causes him to appeal to the super natural for assistance.
