4. In the next line, you may read the parts of the word all separated:
Ab ra ca dab ra.
Now you have read the parts of the word ab-ra-ca-dab-ra all separated,
you can read them very easily together, so as to make one word, and the
word will be Abracadabra.
5. This long and hard word was the name of a false god, that was
worshiped many hundreds of years ago, by a people who did not know the
true God, whom we worship; and they very foolishly supposed that by
wearing this name, written on paper, in a certain manner, it would cure
them of many diseases.
6. Here are a few more long and hard words, divided in the same manner,
which you may first read by syllables, that is, one syllable at a time:
Val e tu di na' ri an.
In de fat i ga bil' i ty.
Hy po chon dri' a cal.
Me temp sy cho' sis.
Hal lu ci na' tion.
Zo o no' mi a.
Ses qui pe dal' i ty.
7. You may now read these long words as they are here presented, without
a division of the syllables, as follows: valetudinarian,
indefatigability, hypochondriacal, metempsychosis, hallucination,
zoonomia, sesquipedality.
