Excerpt from A Lecture on the Magnetism of the Human Body: Delivered Before the Apprentices' Library Society of Charleston Having lately directed my attention to the investigation of the curious phenomena of Mesmerism or Animal Magnets ism, by which powerful physical influence is exerted by one man over another, producing extraordinary effects, both on his mind and body, I became particularly interested in experiments with the magnet.

I have said that the magnetic agent is subject to laws which can be reduced to exact formula. I will not give here the scientific demonstration of this assertion. It will suffice if I present a few indications indispensable to those who will only read this work, and if I set forth the general laws of human magnetism. The magnetic agent offers many points of analogy with the other natural forces, heat, light, electricity and more particularly with the magnetism proper to the lodestone. And the laws which regulate the action of the magnetism of the lodestone are those which regulate the force of physiological magnetism, whatever may be its origin. Moreover, in the time of Paracelsus, when the hermetic philosophers established the theory of the universal fluid, they recognized (and so. have all those who have succeeded them) that the human body possesses properties similar to those of the magnet, and that is the reason they gave the name of magnetism to the force of this property. Mesmer, who, almost at the end of the 18th century, claims to be the inventor of magnetism, tells us, "there are manifcsted, particularly in the human body, properties analogous to those of the magnet. We can there equally distinguish poles divers and opposite which can be communicated, charged, destroyed or re-enforced; even the phenomenon of deviation is observed there. The property of the animal body manifested by its analogy with the magnet has led me to call it animal magnetism." Fantomb magntuque. As has been recognized by Paracelsus, and after him Van Helmont, Robert Fludd, de Reichenbach, de Rochas and many others, the...
