I also believed others, and lost myself as in a swamp, lost myself so that I had no hope of finding my way out. Old believers and new believers and Judaisers and Khlysty and Popovitzy, and Bespopovitzy and Avstriaks and Molokans and Skoptzy every faith praises itself only, and so they all creep about like blind puppies. There are many faiths, but the spirit is one in me and in you and in him.
"I cannot do it," said Breve; and, waving his arm, he ran into his private room. He was putting off the case of the Skoptzy on account of the absence of a very unimportant witness, his real reason being that if they were tried by an educated jury they might possibly be acquitted.
As instruments of excision the hot iron, pieces of glass, old wire, sharpened bone, and old razors are used. Only nine fatal cases resulting from the operation are known. At St. Petersburg Liprandi knew a rich Skoptzy who constantly kept girls mostly Germans for his own gratification, soon after having entered into the "first purification."
Pelikan, Privy Counsel of the government, has exhaustively considered this subject. Articles have appeared in Le Progres Medical, December. 1876. and there is an account in the St. Louis Clinical Record, 1877-78. The name Skoptzy means "the castrated," and they call themselves the "White Doves." They arose about 1757 from the Khlish or flagellants.
He was postponing the case against the Skoptzy, although the absent witness was an entirely unnecessary one. The real reason of the postponement was that the prosecutor feared that their trial before an intelligent jury might end in their acquittal.
The members of the Russian Skoptzy sect habitually amputate the clitoris, nymphæ, and breasts, yet many young Skoptzy women told the Russian physician, Guttceit, that they were perfectly well able to enjoy coitus.
