What is wanted in this matter is investigation — facts, rather 

 than dogmatism or theory. Facts can only be obtained by setting 

 about it in a systematic and sensible way. They Avill not reveal 

 themselves unsought. Six thousand years experience has settled 

 that. It is amazing that men have been content so long to grope 

 amid the darkness, with all the resources of science unapplied. A 

 single year of investigation devoted directly to this specialty might 

 change the whole aspect of the question.
