SYLLABUS.
These Lectures are addressed to individuals who recognise
the existence of magnetic phenomena. Mystery is disappear-
ing from the subject in the light of scientific discoveries. 3les-
'aerie phenomena depend upon the transfusion of nervous
energy. They appear spontaneously in many phases of disease.
Atmospheric air, inhaled by living animals, supplies nervous
energy, with every breath they draw. Nervous energy
.impels
the blood and all grosser fluids of the body, as electricity is
known to affect water. An insufficient supply through the
lungs is accompanied with symptoms of torpid action, debility,
sensation of cold, &c. Nervous energy is subtle fire. Von
Reichenbach, Farraday, Ashburner. and others, trace close
analogies between this and a power newly detected in minerals
—the magnet, chrystals, &c.
THURSDAY, April 22.
Ordinary Sleep—Hypothesis assumed by Macnish—Mesmeric
Sleep—Neurypreology of Dr. Braid, or Nervous Sleep obtained
by the fixed gaze—Danger of Congesting the Brain—lnducing
Apoplexy by this method—lnhalation of Ether—Advantages
and dangers of this application—Safest mode of supplying en-
ergy to your own nerves.
FRIDAY. April 23.
Reflex influence enables an operator to treat twelve or twenty
Patients together—Mesmer's Baguet unnecessary, because the
atmosphere is a sufficient conductor—A person of suitable
temperament must be selected as mesmerist—Our moral in-
stinct should be scrupulously consulted upon this point—Dr.
Combe points out the principle by which local magnetism is
directed—Beaumont demonstrates that we have the power thus
to stimulate the liver—We can accelerate or retard the circula-
tion of blood, promote the processes of digestion by imparting
energy to the stomach, act on any external organ of the brain,
'Or any part of the body—Conclusion.
