The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Miracle Mongers and Their Methods by Harry Houdini: and M. Chabert forthwith prepared himself

place the oil in water, and drink it when
the water boils, at which time the oil is
not warmer than an ordinary cup of tea.
