Mr. FIDLER read the minutes of last meeting.
Mr. REYNOLDSON detailed cases he has treated since the last

dency to Consumption, &c., wherein the happiest effects have
resulted from Magnetic action.
The CHAIRMAN confirmed Mr. Reynoldson's statements,
from his own knowledge of some of these cases, so did Messrs.
Fidler and Calderwood.
The following resolutions were carried unanimously :
Moved by Mr. FIDLER, and seconded by Mr. CALDERWOOD,
"That we contemplate the numerous Mesmeric experiments
that have been successfully carried out in two hospitals of India,
with unmixed pleasure, and we hope the day is at hand when
English Surgeons will say with Dr. Esdaile, it is now a matter
of course to attempt to make a person insensible before opera-
ting upon him. I consider it cruelty, in fact, not to do so.' "
On the motion of Mr. SAMUEL, seconded by Mr.
REYNOLDSON.
"That important as Mesmerism is in producing insensibility
to pain, in cases of surgical operation, this meeting believes it
to be of no less imnortance. as fi PiirntivA orpanf

acute and chronic diseases."
Moved by Mr. FIDLER. seconded by Mr. SAMUELI„
" That the name of this Society be altered to the Liverpool
