MAGNETIC EDUCATION AND THERAPEUTICS.

EXTRACTS FROM AN ESSAY BY DR. CHARLES DU PREL, IN SPHINX, TRANSLATED
FOR THE JOURNAL OF MAN.

"In the _Wiener Allgemeiner_ I spoke of the possibility of
moral education by means of magnetism, which has been carried
out." * * *

"Dr. Bernheim, a Professor of the Medical Faculty in Nancy who
is a champion of hypnotism has written a book on 'Suggestion and
its Application in Therapeutics,' in which a great many hypnotic
cures are recorded."

* * * * *

"Dr. ---- quotes Franklin against magnetism but Sprengel in his
Pharmacology says 'Franklin, sickly as he was, took no part
whatever in the investigation.' The Academy again investigated
(1825-31) somnambulism, discovered by Puysegur, Mesmer's
scholar. In their report of two year's investigation, eleven M.
D.'s unanimously pronounced in favor of all important phenomena
ascribed to somnambulism. A fairly complete synopsis of their
report will be found in my 'Philosophy of Mystics.'"
