and scientific application of electricity were shown,
and many things entirely unknown and unrecognized in works on
Electro-Therapeutics. The entire class was placed under a medical
influence simultaneously by the agency of electricity--an operation so
marvelous that it would be considered incredible in medical colleges.
By these and other experiments and numerous illustrations and lucid
explanations of the brain and nervous system, the instruction was made
deeply interesting, and students have attended more than one course to
perfect themselves in the science. The following declaration of
sentiments shows how the course was regarded by the class:

"The summer class of 1887 in the College of Therapeutics,
feeling it their duty to add their testimony to that of many
others in reference to the grand scientific discoveries which
they have seen thoroughly demonstrated by Prof. J. R. Buchanan,
would say to the public that no one can attend such a course of
instruction as we have recently been engaged in, without
realizing that Therapeutic Sarcognomy greatly enlarges the
practical resources of the healing art for the medical
practitioner, magnetizer and electro-therapeutist, while
Psychometry, whose positive truths we have tested and proven,
like the sun's rays, illumines all the dark problems of medical
practice and of psycho-physiological sciences.

"Therapeutic Sarcognomy explains the very intricate and
mysterious relations of the soul, the brain and body, which
prior to Prof. Buchanan's discoveries were unknown to all
scientific teachers, and are even now only known to his students
and the readers of his works,

"We feel that we have been very fortunate in finding so valuable
a source of knowledge, whose future benefits to the human race,
in many ways, cannot be briefly stated, and we would assure all
who may attend this college, or read the published works of
Prof. Buchanan, and his monthly, the _Journal of Man_, that they
will, when acquainted with the subject, be ready to unite with
us in appreciating and honoring the greatest addition ever made
to biological and psychological sciences. Hoping that the time
is not for distant when all students in medical colleges may
obtain access to this most important knowledge, we give our
testimony to the public."
