Sinopsis
Excerpt from Compilation of Notes and Memoranda Bearing Upon the Use of Human Ordure and Human Urine in Rites of a Religious or Semi-Religious Character Among Various Nations
For my own part I felt satisfied with the omission, particularly as the room, stuffed with one hundred Zunis, had become so foul and filthy as to be almost unbearable. The dance, as good luck would have it, did not last many minutes, and we soon had a chance to run into the refreshing night air.

Excerpt from Compilation of Notes and Memoranda Bearing Upon the Use of Human Ordure and Human Urine in Rites of a Religious or Semi-Religious Character Among Various Nations
The object of the present monograph is to arrange in a form for easy reference such allusions as have come under the author's notice bearing upon the use of human ordure, or urine, or articles apparently intended as substitutes for them, whether in rites of a clearly religious or "medicine" type or in those which, while not pronouncedly such, have about them suggestions that they may be survivals of a former existence of urine dances or ur-orgies among tribes and peoples from whose later mode of life and thought they have been eliminated.
The difficulties surrounding the elucidation of this topic will, no doubt, occur at once to every student of anthropology or ethnology. The rites and practices herein spoken of are to be found only in communities isolated from the world, and are such as even savages would shrink from revealing unnecessarily to strangers; while, too frequently, observers of intelligence have failed to improve opportunities for noting the existence of rites of this nature, or else, restrained by a false modesty, have clothed their remarks in vague and indefinite phraseology, forgetting that as a physician, to be skillful, must study his patients both in sickness and in health, so the anthropologist must study man, not alone wherein he reflects the grandeur of his Maker, but likewise in his grosser and more animal propensities.
Repugnant, therefore, as the subject is under most points of view, the author has felt constrained to reproduce all that he has seen and read, hoping that in the fuller consideration which all forms of primitive religion are now receiving this, the most brutal, possibly, of them all, may claim some share of examination and discussion.
To serve as a nucleus for notes and memoranda since gleaned, the author has reproduced his original monograph, first published in the Transactions of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, 1885, and read by title at the Ann Arbor, Michigan, meeting, in the same year.
