METHODS OF TREATMENT To CONTROL sPIRITU
AL PHENOMENON.
When an element is established and appa
rently in good working order, the followin
methods may be applied: Take one hand an
grasp the. table leg, but do not use force
stop rapping-merely embrace it in YOU
I grasp-stretch out your other arm in an oppo
site direction; this may stop rapping, if moi
have somebody to grasp your outstretche
hand, or take hold of another leg; this vii
draw the forces out from it; sometimes
takes as many persons to conduct the force
away from it, as there are hands on the tabl
that enervate it; but in an ordinary state on
strong magnet will suffice to stop motion; b u
if you grasp the tables leg with both hands,
will increase the forces in the table; then you
| body is connected to it. A better way is Il
take bar or rod of iron, stick it into tn
earth outside of the house, being careful tha
| the ground is not under shelter, and dry, bu
moist or wet; for conductor lead the othe
end into the room, grasp the bar with on,
| hand and the table leg with the other if tn
distance is not too far, have somebody in be
! tween to make connection, remembering tina
| it must be with naked hands-woolen or sill
gloves being non-conductors, would breal
connection. By this method l have draw
touch, simply, of my finger to the tables leg
across the room, and without feeling any strail
on my finger or arm; table, chairs, with thosl
sitting on them, and having their hands on the
plate of the table; all came in mass, as il
they were tied one to the other, or enclosed by
q network, and drawn to the iron rod. Thi:

netting, whereby l have succeeded to explain
the earth's magnetism and all electromagnetic
agencies, solely due to the oxygen of the at
mosphere, and its arrangement where~ith il
surrounds the earth, connecting the two oppo-
site elements of land and water in magnetic
circuit, for equilibrium.
ANOTHER METHOD TO STOP RAPPING.
Make all sitting around the table lower
their heads below the tables plate-action
will stop Immediately; in this position, when
the hands are higher than the heads, polarity
in the body changes, the greatest polar force
of the human body is exerted in an upright po-
sition, between the negative earth and positive
atmosphere; the body is neutral in horizon
tai postion-and in that position we can rest
and sleep. The human body has nothing extra
from animal organism except his upright po-
sition, that induces strong magnetic forces.
The mesmerizer knows this fact, and when
he wants to subdue a subject to his will, he
makes the subject sit down, while he main
tains an erect position positions would
not.affect magnetic connection. This fact
can also prove by an iron bar and pocket COM
pass-that an iron bar changes it polarity with
position-the lower end facing the negative
- 81,
tive pole of the needle, and attracts the mega
tive, while the upper end is always negative,
repelling the negative pole of the needle, and
attracting the positive, and the bar is neutral
in horizontal position. Magnetic forces, no
matter where they are manifest on minerals,
metals, vegetable and animal bodies, bear sim
ilarity, and are operated on by the opposite ell
ements of the negative earth and positive at
mosphere. North of the magnetic equator, on
land above the sea, the action is the reverse
south of the equator, where the atmosphere is
negative to the waters positive, all bodies oc-
cupying space in the atmospheric arrangement
are acted on and influenced thereby. A per-
manent magnet that has stratum of oxygen
ations around its opposite poles connecting
them, as is manifest by the iron-filings, cannot
change polarity, and therefore is forced by its
axis and poles to the order wherewirh the OK
ygen netting surrounds the globe. This ex-
plains the mystery of the steady pointing of
the magnetic needle towards the magnetic
earths poles, and when any variation, oscilla-
ton, or disturbances In the needle takes place,
it becomes manifest all over the globe. This
fact is known to science, by observation. The
action in the table will also stop when silk
cloth is spread over it-being anon-conductor,
it breaks connection of the magnetic element;
the same is the case when silk cloth is tied
around the wrists of those connected with the
table, the battery. This last method convin-
ces us that the forces do not issue from out the
body, but from the atmospheric pressure on
the body, with force of fifteen pounds per
square inch-sixty-six square inches receives
IN atmospheric pressure of one Thousand
pounds; twelve inches receives a pressure of
one hundred and eighty pounds, or weight
equal to the weight of an ordinary man. Now,
he human body occupies a space of two thou
'and cubicinches
THE EYE.
The eye exerts the greatest force in the |
phenomenon-it is the mega |
i've pole of the central battery-the brain. |
To form connection with the atmosphere, the |
ar the positive pole, and by a repelling force |
,ausing vibration, as the organ or drum of the |
ar carries sound to the mind; while the eye,
~ attraction, represents the external objects
II creation in their various colorations, shown
orth by white light to the intellect or central
,attery, wherein all the physical and mental
Orces center, and the negative eye connects
With the positive netting (or nerve), of the bO-
ly-air, whereby attraction and repulsion
# magnetzed bodies are affected. When the
yes OF those around the table waiting for
are closed, no manifestations
an be produced; but as the moisture in be-
ween the eyelids forms connection, and ac
ion might not entirely stop, advise to have
he eyes tied shut with silk handkerchief.
BY this mode the circuit is completely broken,
nd action ceases instantly. This is known
o spiritualists but by merely closing the eye,
rauds can be practiced. A silk cloth will
reak the circuit complete, but when the posi-
i've organ-the ear-is tied shut with silk, a
epelling force sets in, the table becomes frac-
ous and wild, and will not obey orders from
hose around it, and cannot be held by force
will rock, jump and twist from under the
ands of those connected to it, and by repul-
ion will break connection. Not only those
round the table are connected into magnet
: circuit-but all in the room, and also ada
ent rooms, by the atmospheric netting, or
erve of the body-air. An individual of great
Orce-as medium-can communicate with
he table at a considerable distance, and make
tap; but when the mediums eyes are shut,
apping ceases instantly, or when the body
axes horizontal position, by reclining on a
Ofa, polarity ceases, and with it the force.
Iagnetic forces reside in and between the
oles of the magnet, causing either attraction

!. But when this stratum of atoms are prop

must obey the powerful magnet,
arth, and settle its axis and poles to order of
he stronger magnet. This is the case in medi-
ms; they control the minor magnets. The hui

heric arrangement, breaks the netting sur
