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. Mes-
meric 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.
