PROGRESS OF NEURoLoGY.-LaSt Friday, DR..
buchanan made visit to Salem, at the request OF
many who felt an interest in his scicnce. In the
evening select company of sevetny or eighty OF
the principal citizens assembled to learn the ma
ture OF the new science. Several impressibe
persons, we are informed, were fooud in the COM
pany, who were believed to be suitable subjects
for the illustration of his principles, and some of
them consented to undergo experiments Upon
trial. agentleman and young lady. the former
apparently nineteen or twenty, and the latter "a
bout fourteen years of age, appeared to be very
sensiby excited by touching the different parts of
the head. After brief explanation of the OBJ
Jects and principles OF neurology, the Doctor pro-
ceeded to his experiments, and gave the most con-
vlncing evidence of the truth OF his discoveries
Gut OF some twenty or thirty experiments
In exciting the organs, not a single failure
occurred. The display of the different feel.
ings In the countenance, manners and language
was complete and highly gratifying to the COM
pany. To show that the results were not produ-
ced either by imagination or by leading questions,
DR.. Buchanan communicated his design to some
OF the gentlemen, before making each ex pertinent,
and kept the 4Iects entirely ignorant of the ex-
pected effect. For instance, he wrote upon slip
OF paper thSt be would produce sickness in the
young lady, and without saying word proceeded
TO excite organs which produce that effect. In
less than minute she appeared to be fainting,
and the operation was instantly changed so as 10
restore her.
written request was sent TO the Doctor that
he would excite heat and cold in the Young gen
teman. The experiment was tried and when
asked how he felt, he replied that one operation
made him cold, g. the other made him warm Most
OF the experiments were made upon organs en-
tlrely foreign to the chronological SYSTEM and
known only to DR.. Buchanan. After receiving
some cautions against the excessive practice OF
mesmerism, and some directions as to the best
method of conducting neurological experiments,
the company dispersed, highly gratiied with the
