Dr. Dops of Mass is lecturing ct Clinton d sil On
the subject of Mesmerism he claims 10 hare dis
covered the philosophy Of this science and under
takes to explain the principles which it ia based
thus afording to reason a clear and satisfactory
/ conception Of its nature. We consider the views
Of the Doctor as very interesting, and in the main
according TO our belief true they ere net however c
70 u.s. e. cas. most Of them although they be the Doc
10Y ssd he may have discovered Them By bis own H.
yestgson as otoers have done before him One lead
Ing idea Of the Doctor that the mind does come IN
contact with the coarse matter Of the body that is of tho
body OF flesh and bone in which the sou rcased Tia
mind dyvos within an electrical gsysnic medium
body; this electrical body pervs6es the whole material
or outward body, and governs it the mind acts upon
The electrical body ard the electrical upon Inc material
body causing It TO sc in perfcc. obedience mind
The electrified body Sustained by the following
the electricity intae atmosphere lie inhaled into the unss
by breathing and is there converted into animal cleo
trlcy or magnetism and thus the supply oftbis agent 10
kep.up In fact the electrical body nouriahes tse from
the impooderebie fluids In the atmosphere, the
era body nourishe seffron the products OF the earth
The Doctor makes OF great many illustrations 10
prove this We will mention but our readers may
perhaps have heard IT, but it is very striking. we will
recall it dog having been fed the nerve that goes TO
the stomach and Il WAC found that digestion mao
ceased geyanic os;.ery WAS then applied ana cur
rent of gavanisnr poured into the and digestion
Yves resumed and completed This indicates that the
functions Of the body are carried by the ponderabe
fluids and that they the principles of material life
We have oaid that this idea tits very fully
and beautifully explained in Snedenborss remarkable
physiological work called the Animal Kingdom. He then
that the uponderable fluids are the anmang and
life giving principle Of the blood and Of the physical
ganizston No, only urc the mponderable fluids which
exist in the atmosphere, taken into the lungs but Swe.
denborg stn,es that the ,nyrisds of lille which
terminate Ri the surface OF the skr Sip, he expresses
it, the prrest psrts the atmosphere the celestial
the nssnetic uids which carried By these TO
the corca substance OF the brain he greyish coating,
about half an inch thick which ID Gu the outside Of the
b-ain Then these aurss are elaborated and prepared
for the PURPOSES OF animal life and the Of physloe
cal organizations the blood s elaborated and prepared
for circulation in the heart and lungs In fact Sweden
borg says-and If true how important the fsciat the
cortca substance o the brain does perform the function
OF hear. and lungs ,he magnetic body aud that the
material heart and lungs but The patterns in the
ternal body Of the organs In the internal or mag
Gctc body The animation OF the brain aud It's action
synchronous with the heart and Lungs is to eyes q
beautiful solution OF many of the mysteries of life
When tte vital fluids the animal electricity 10 labora

who interested in this subject consult the second
volume Of the Animal Kingdom. There Is an excellent
summary Of inc doctrine ut the cad.
