,f4 ,,hartmann1 an enlightened author of the ,theosophical and ,occult school1 presents the mystic or ,oriental view of man1 in an interesting manner1 deducing therefrom a philosophy of the healing art4 ,my readers will no doubt be interested in his exposition1 and1 as the ancient doctrine differs materially from the results of experimental investigation1 ,i take the liberty of incorporating my comments in publishing the essay4 ,a ,,rational ,,system ,,of ,,medicine4 ,all lovers of truth1 progress1 and freedom of thought must be grateful to ,dr4 ,j4 ,r4 ,buchanan for his discovery of the science of ,,sarcognomy4 ,his system brings us nearer to a recognition of the true nature of man1 his origin and his destiny1 and of the relations which he bears to the ,divine ,source from which he emanated in the beginning1 and to which he will ultimately return2 for the enlightened ones of all nations agree that the real man1 who resides temporarily in the physical human body1 who feels through the instrumentality of the heart1 and thinks through the instrumentality of the brain of the external body1 does not originate in the womb of the mother from which the physical body is born1 but is of a spiritual origin1 again and again re-incarnating itself in physical masks and forms of flesh and blood1 living and dying1 and being reborn1 until1 having attained that state of perfection1 which renders the inner man capable to exist in a state of spiritual consciousness without being encumbered by a gross earthly organization1 which chains him to animal life4 ,it should here be remarked that the great majority of those who are considered enlightened1 and to whom the world is indebted for the sciences which it now possesses1 do not accept this theory of re-incarnation4 ,as commonly stated1 it is liable to many decisive objections1 and these objections1 which ,i have clearly stated in the ,religio-,philosophical ,journal1 have not been1 and ,i think will not be1 removed by the teachers of re-incarnation4 ,it may perhaps not be premature to examine how far the doctrines of ,dr4 ,buchanan correspond with the doctrines of occult science2 that is to say1 with that science which is based upon a perception and understanding of certain facts1 which1 to be perceived1 require spiritual powers of perception1 such as are not yet developed in the majority of mankind1 but which are only in possession of those who have mentally risen above the sphere of external phenomena and accustomed themselves to look at spiritual things with the eye of the spirit4 ,it is not my intention to enter at present into an elaborate review of the most prominent writers on occult subjects1 and to quote passages from such authors to support the views expressed in the following pages1 but rather to give a short statement of their doctrines in regard to the omnipotent power of ,will and ,life2 both these powers being fundamentally identical2 both being merely different modes of actions1 or functions1 of that universal1 eternal1 and divine ,central ,power of the universe1 which is beyond the conception of mortals1 and which the latter call ,god4 ,the ancient religions1 as well as reason and logic1 tell us that there is1 and can be1 only one supreme ,god1 or ,first ,cause of the universe1 and that from this one first and fundamental ,cause or ,power every secondary power and everything that exists has come into existence1 or been evolved within it and through its eternal activity4 ,the whole of the universe with everything contained therein1 man included1 is and can be nothing else but a manifestation of this internal fundamental power1 or1 as it has been expressed by the ancient philosophers1 the universe is the product of the ,divine ,imagination 7thought7 of the ,first ,great ,cause1 thrown into objectivity by its eternal ,will4 ,we see1 therefore1 the great unmanifested ,one manifesting itself in its own ,substance 7,space7 by means of two powers1 ,thought 7imagination7 and ,will 7the ,word or ,life72 both powers being fundamentally identical and merely two different modes of activity or functions of the ,one ,eternal1 internal ,principle1 called ,god4 ,according to the ,bible1 ,god said1 ,let there be light1 and through the power of this outspoken ,word1 the world came into existence4 ,this allegory1 expressed in modern language1 means that by the active ,will of the universal ,first ,cause1 the images existing in its eternal memory were thrown into objectivity and thus produced the germs from which the worlds with all things existing therein were evolved and grew into the shapes in which we see them now4 ,the ,brahmins say that when ,brahm awoke from his slumber after the night of creation 7the great ,pralaya7 was over1 he breathed out of his own substance1 and thus the evolution of worlds began4 ,if he in-breathes again1 the worlds will be re-absorbed in his substance1 and the day of creation will be over4 ,god being essentially and self-evidently inconceivable by man1 all attempts of ,brahmin1 ,christian1 or any other theologians to explain his existence and his methods of creation can be recognized by the scientific mind only as hypotheses unsusceptible of verification1 and1 therefore1 incapable of becoming a proper basis of ,philosophy4 ,thus we find1 on examining the doctrines of all the greatest religions of the world1 that they all teach the same truth1 although they teach it in different words and in different allegories4 ,they all teach that there exist two fundamental powers1 originating from the absolute ,one1 namely1 ,thought and ,will2 and it logically follows that if a man were a complete master over his thoughts and his will1 he could become a creator within the realm to which his thought and imagination extend2 he could1 consequently1 by the power of his will and thought1 control all the functions of his organism1 the so-called involuntary ones as well as those which are voluntary4 ,he could--if he possessed a perfect knowledge of his own constitution--restore abnormal functions to their normal state1 and restore diseased organs to health4 ,the mode of expression used in this paragraph is rather misleading4 ,one may have a complete mastery of his thoughts and will1 while both thought and will are very feeble and ineffective4 ,it requires great ,,power in the will and thought to acquire such control over bodily functions1 and any expression leading persons of feeble character to suppose they can attain such results would be delusive4 ,many persons of feeble character have been led by current speculations to aspire far beyond their ability4 ,another fundamental doctrine of ,occultism is that man is a ,microcosm1 in which is germinally 7potentially7 contained everything that exists in the ,macrocosm of the universe4 ,an unproved hypothesis4 ,as the will and thought of that universal and divine internal power1 which is called ,god1 penetrates and pervades the whole of the universe2 likewise the will and thought of man1 if he has once attained perfect mastery over himself1 extends through all parts of his organization1 pervades every organ1 and may be made to act consciously wherever man chooses to employ it4 ,but in the present state of man's condition upon this earth1 no one but the adepts have acquired this power4 ,in them thought and will act as one4 ,in the vast majority of human beings thought and will are not yet in entire harmony1 and do not act as one4 ,in the regenerated one 7the adept7 heart and head act in perfect unison4 ,the adept thinks what he wills1 and wills what he thinks4 ,in unregenerated humanity will and thought are divided and occupy two different centres4 ,in them the will has its seat in the blood 7whose central organ is the heart71 and their thought or imagination has its seat in the brain4 ,in them heart and brain are often not only not in perfect harmony1 but even opposed to each other4 ,but the will and life being one1 and identical1 we see that the central seat of life is not1 as has been maintained by ,dr4 ,buchanan1 the brain1 but the primary source of all life is the heart4 ,we see1 therefore1 a discrepancy between the doctrines of ,dr4 ,buchanan and the occult doctrines in regard to ,anthropology2 but this discrepancy is of no serious consequence2 because the moon 7the intellect7 is in our solar system as necessary as the sun 7the will71 and as the vast majority of people have a considerably developed intellect1 but only a very little developed will1 and live1 so to say1 more in their brains than in their hearts1 they may be looked upon as receiving their powers and energies from their brains1 while the brain receives its stimulus from the heart4 ,the ancient ,rosicrucians compared the heart to the sun1 the intellect1 or brain1 to the moon4 ,the moon receives her light from the sun1 the centre of life of our solar system4 ,if the sun were to cease to exist1 the moon would soon lose her borrowed light2 likewise if the sun of divine love ceases to shine in the human heart1 the cold1 calculating intellect may continue to glitter for a while1 but it will finally cease to exist4 ,if the brain vampyrizes the heart1 that is to say1 if it absorbs the greater part of the life principle1 which ought to go to develop love and virtue in the heart1 man may become a great reasoner1 a scientist1 arguer1 and sophist2 but he will not become wise1 and his intellect will perish in this life or in the state after death4 ,we often see very intellectual people becoming criminals1 and even lunatics are often very cunning4 ,that which a man may call his own in the end1 are not the thoughts which he has stored in his perishable memory2 but the fire of love and light which he has kindled in his heart4 ,if this fire of life burns at his heart it will illuminate his mind1 and enable the brain to see clear2 it will develop his spiritual powers of perception1 and cause him to perceive things which no amount of intellectual brain-labor can grasp4 ,it will penetrate even the physical body1 and cause the soul therein to assume shape and to become immortal4 ,it is not to be supposed that the above truths will be at once accepted by every reader of the ,,journal1 except by such as have given deep thought to the true nature of man4 ,neither are they a subject for scientific controversy or disputation4 ,a knowledge of the truth is not produced by disputations and quarrels1 but only by direct perception1 experience1 and understanding4 ,the conclusions which man arrives at by logic are merely productive of certain opinions1 and these opinions are liable to be changed again as soon as the basis from which his logic started1 changes4 ,a real knowledge of spiritual truths requires a power of spiritual perception1 which few men possess4 ,nevertheless1 even our logical deductions1 taking as a starting point that which we know to be true1 will help us to arrive at the same conclusions at which the ,hermetic philosophers arrived by the power of spiritual perception4 ,in the foregoing passage1 ,dr4 ,h4 professes to state doctrines derived from intuition or spiritual perception by the ancients1 and also recognized to-day by spiritual perception4 ,to me they appear as the results only of that sort of ancient ,,speculation1 which recognized earth1 air1 fire1 and water as the four chemical elements of all things4 ,i do not find them sustained by the spiritual perception of those who have the intuitive powers to-day1 nor by scientific investigation4 ,the substance of the heart is not the seat of life4 ,it is a merely muscular substance1 and ceases all action when separated from its controlling ganglia4 ,the vitality of the heart lies in its ganglia--in other words1 in the nervous system1 in which alone is life1 and of which the brain is the commanding centre4 ,that life resides exclusively in the nervous system is one of the established principles of physiology1 which cannot be disturbed by any theories descending from antiquity1 before the dawn of positive science4 ,that the will resides in the blood and the heart1 is about as near the truth as ,plato's doctrine that the prophetic power belonged to the liver4 ,if the region of ,firmness in the brain be large1 it will be strongly manifested1 even though the heart be feeble1 and as easily arrested as ,col4 ,townsend's4 ,but if the upper surface of the brain be diseased1 or sensibly softened1 the will power is almost destroyed1 even if the plethoric1 hypertrophied heart is shaking the head with its power4 ,many an individual of a delicate frame1 has overpowered by firmness and courage stout1 muscular men of far larger hearts4 ,that the brain is the organ of thought alone1 is a very old crudity4 ,it contains every human emotion and passion1 which we may stimulate in the impressible1 or suspend instantly by a slight pressure on the brain4 ,there is no intense exercise of any of the emotions or passions without a corresponding warmth and tension in the portion of the brain to which they belong1 the development and activity of which determine their power4 ,the will and life are not identical1 as ,dr4 ,h4 suggests1 for if they were1 we should not have these two words with different meanings4 ,if will is an attribute of life1 that does not constitute identity4 ,the speculations of ,rosicrucians are of no authority in science4 ,the divine love or influence is in direct relation to the brain1 the central organ of the soul1 and not to a muscular structure of the body1 which is far below the brain in rank4 ,it would be just as reasonable to affirm that courage belongs only to the muscles4 ,that illuminating love which ,dr4 ,h4 ascribes to the heart1 belongs to the upper region of the brain1 and is never found when that region lacks development1 or is in a cold1 torpid condition4 ,i deny entirely that these mystic theories are the product of true1 spiritual perception4 ,they arise from the fact that the thoracic region sympathizes with the seat of true love and will in the brain4 ,this secondary effect has been felt and realized by those to whom the functions of the brain were unknown4 ,spiritual perception1 now guided by the spirit of investigation1 discovers the whole truth--that all human faculties and impulses belong to the brain1 but have a secondary influence on the localities of the body to which ,,sarcognomy shows their relations4 ,if we believe in one great spiritual cause of all1 and conceive of it as the great spiritual ,sun of the universe 7of which our terrestrial sun is merely an image or reflection71 we find that spiritual man 7the image of ,god7 can be nothing else but an individual ray of that spiritual sun1 shining into matter1 becoming polarized and forming a centre of life in the developing human foetus1 and causing this foetus to grow in a living form of human shape1 according to the conditions presented to it by the maternal organism1 and when it is born1 and becomes conscious1 the illusion of self is created within that individual form4 ,besides the gross1 visible1 external form1 more ethereal internal forms are evolved1 which are of a longer duration than the outward physical form1 but of which it is not necessary to speak at present4 ,at all events1 all that we positively know of man1 is that he is an invisible internal power1 which evolves an outward shape1 which we call a human being4 ,the material through which the organism is built up is the blood1 and the centre from which the blood flows into all parts of the body and to which it returns from all parts1 is the heart4 ,the heart is consequently the centre from which that power which builds up the organism of man emanates1 and as this power can be nothing else but ,life1 the heart is the centre of life4 ,the heart and the brain stand in the most intimate relation to each other1 and neither one can continue to live if the other one ceases to act2 but according to the doctrines of the ancient and modern occultists the heart is of superior importance than the brain4 ,a man may live a long time without thinking1 but he ceases to live when his heart ceases to beat4 ,the heart is the seat of life1 the brain the seat of thought1 but both are equally necessary to enjoy life2 there is no intellectual activity without life1 and a life without intelligence is worthless4 ,that the force which constructs the organism of man emanates from the heart1 appears to me to be self-evident2 that the power which guides this construction emanates from the brain has been demonstrated by ,dr4 ,buchanan4 ,this is quite incorrect4 ,the heart may cease acting1 as in apparent death while the processes of thought and feeling are going on1 and the individual is conscious that he is going to be buried1 but incapable of giving the alarm4 ,on the other hand the action of the brain may be suspended1 as in apoplexy1 while the heart is beating vigorously4 ,in such cases1 though the action of the cerebrum is suspended1 the physiological brain or cerebellum sustains physical life4 ,we cannot say that the heart is superior to the brain1 because it supplies the brain with blood for its growth1 any more than we could say the same of the lungs1 which supply oxygen1 without which the action of the brain is speedily arrested4 ,we might even extend the remark to the stomach and thoracic duct1 which supply the material for making a brain1 which certainly does not prove their superiority4 ,the action of the brain is far more important1 for the quickest death is produced by crushing the brain1 or by cutting it off from the body in the spinal cord of the neck1 when heart1 lungs1 and stomach are promptly arrested by losing the help of the brain4 ,if prior development in growth proved a superiority of rank1 the ganglionic system which accompanies the arteries and precedes the evolution of the convoluted cerebrum would hold the highest rank1 although it is destitute of consciousness and volition1 which belong to the brain alone4 ,but what is this power which emanates from the brain1 and which guides the organizing activity of the soul1 but the power of life which is transmitted to the brain from the heart1 and which is modified in its activity by the peculiar organization of the latter8 ,man in his present state does not think with his heart1 but with his brain2 nevertheless1 the heart is superior to the brain1 for the brain has been built up by the power which came from the heart2 and it is a universal law of nature1 that no thing can produce anything superior to itself4 ,during its foetal existence the brain of the child is built up by the blood of the mother2 after man is born his brain receives its power of life through the heart1 and in spiritually developed man the thought-force created in the brain reacts again upon the will in the heart1 controlling its desires and entering into harmonious union with the latter4 ,the ancient alchemists say3 ,if the ,sun 7the heart7 enters in conjunction with the ,moon 7the brain7 then will ,gold 7,wisdom7 be produced4 ,we see1 therefore1 in man two centres of life1 the heart and the brain1 and it may properly be said that the brain is the seat of life1 only it may perhaps be added1 that it is the secondary seat1 while the principal seat is1 or ought to be1 in the heart4 ,dr4 ,h4 identifies will with life1 yet every one knows that all acts of volition proceed from the brain alone1 and never from the heart2 hence by his own statement the brain is the seat of life4 ,according to the doctrines of the ,hermetic philosophers1 ,god is the invisible central fire in the universe from which the ,light of the ,logos 7,christ or the celestial ,adam7 emanated in the beginning4 ,man being a ,microcosm1 contains in his heart the image of that internal and invisible central fire of ,love1 which sends the light of thought to the brain and illuminates the mind of the seer4 ,we are at present not living in the age of ,love1 but in the age of ,thought 7not the age of ,reason1 but the age of ,reasoning and ,speculation71 and by the law of heredity1 life has become pre-eminently concentrated in the brain2 while in a more advanced age1 when the principle of universal ,love and ,benevolence will be generally recognized1 life will become more strongly concentrated at the heart4 ,men will then not only think1 but feel and become able to recognize the truth by that power which is known to us in its rudimental state as ,intuition1 but which1 if developed1 will be far superior to that uncertain feeling called ,intuition1 and become a ,sun within the heart1 sending its rays far up into the regions of thought4 ,then1 as their ,love for the supreme ,good increases1 will their knowledge increase1 and as their knowledge expands will their ,will become powerful and free4 ,the physiology of this passage is all erroneous4 ,in the ages of animalism and barbarism the heart is more powerful1 like the rest of the muscular system to which it belongs4 ,in a more humane and refined condition the brain is more predominant4 ,the female heart is not as well developed as the male4 ,the moral superiority of women is due not to the heart but to the superior region of the brain1 to which we owe all elevation of individuals and society4 ,it has been said above that ,will and ,life are identical1 and there are sufficient facts to prove that they are one4 ,a man may prolong his life by an effort of will1 or he may cease to live if he wills to die4 ,a loss of will-power in a limb is identical with paralysis of the latter4 ,if the will 7conscious or unconscious will7 ceases to act1 man ceases to live4 ,no amount of thought exercised by the brain will raise a limb of a person1 unless the person has the will to raise it2 no amount of imagination on the part of the brain will execute an act1 unless the will guided by the imagination causes the act to be executed4 ,in the blood1--the representative of the animal life-principle 7,kama-rupa7 is the seat of the will1 its central office is the heart4 ,there the will or life-power acts consciously or unconsciously1 sending its rays to the brain1 where they become more refined1 and from thence they radiate again back through the organism1 causing the unconscious or conscious processes of imagination and thought4 ,the way in which these processes take place1 has been well described in ,dr4 ,buchanan's ,therapeutic ,sarcognomy4 ,love1 ,will1 and ,life are ultimately one and the same power2 they are like the three sides of a pyramid ending in one point1 or like a star emitting a light of three different hues4 ,without the fire of divine ,love at the centre there will be no good and powerful ,will1 without ,will man is a useless being1 without virtue and without real life1 an empty shell or form kept alive by the play of the elements1 ceasing to exist when the form falls to pieces4 ,but he who possesses a strong love for the good1 the beautiful1 and true1 grows strong in ,will and strong in ,life4 ,his heart sends a pure current of life to the brain1 which enables the latter to see and grasp the ideas existing in the ,astral light4 ,the purer the will the more pure will be the imagination1 and the more will the latter be able to rise to the highest regions of thought1 while these exalted thoughts will radiate their light back again to the heart and stimulate the heart as the heart stimulated the brain4 ,a consideration of the above will go to prove that ,love 7,will or ,life7 and ,thought 7,imagination or ,light7 are the forces by which the soul forms and regenerates the external body1 and that he who obtains mastery over these forces within his own organism will be able to change and remodel his body and to cure it of all ills4 ,the fountain of life is the will1 and if the will is good and pure and not poisoned by the imagination1 a pure blood and a strong and healthy body will be the result4 ,if the imagination 7thought7 is pure1 it will purify the will and expel from the latter the elements of evil4 ,the fundamental doctrine of the most rational system of medicine is therefore the purification of the ,will and the ,imagination1 and every one carries within his own heart the universal panacea1 which cures all ills1 if he only knows how to employ it4 ,the purification and strengthening of the will by acts of love and human kindness and by leading a pure and unselfish life1 should be the principal object of all religious and scientific education4 ,the ,bible says3 ,if the salt 7the will7 of the earth is worthless1 wherewith shall it be salted8 ,if the fountain from which all life springs is poisoned by evil thoughts1 how can the soul and body be healthy8 ,the best blood-purifier is a pure will1 rendered pure by pure and holy thoughts4 ,this fundamental and self-evident truth is continually overlooked in our present age4 ,the education of the intellect for the purpose of attaining selfish interests is made of paramount interest and the heart is neglected and left to starve4#a ,the life-energy which ought to be employed to educate the heart and to render the will good and pure1 is wasted in the top story of the temple of man in idle speculations about external and worthless things1 in scientific quarrels and dogmatic disputations1 which have usually no other object but to tickle personal vanity and to give to ignorance an external coat of learning4 ,many of our modern scientific authorities resemble ants1 which crawl over a leaf which fell from a tree3 they know all about the veins and cells of that leaf1 but they know nothing whatever of the living tree1 which produces such leaves1 and moreover flowers and fruits4 ,likewise the rational medicine based upon reason and understanding1 the science springing from a true knowledge of man will forever remain an enigma to the legally-authorized guardians of the health of humanity1 as long as they know nothing of man except his external form and refuse to open their eyes and to see the eternal internal power1 of which the external form is merely an evanescent image1 a transient manifestation4 #a ,there is no higher gift of ,divinity than the gift of intelligence1 which1 if pervaded by the light of ,divine love1 constitutes the ,christ1 and those who are thus gifted are indeed the favorites of ,god4 ,but if such a people kill the ,christ-principle in their hearts1 and use their intellectual powers merely for selfish purposes1 they will become accursed4 ,a system of medicine or theology which is based upon self-interests of the privileged class of doctors and priests is a curse to humanity4 ,hoping that with the appearance of the ,,journal ,,of ,,man a new era of truly rational medicine will begin in progressive ,america1 ,i am yours truly and fraternally1 ,,franz ,,hartmann1 ,m4,d4 ,,kempten1 ,,bavaria1 ,april #g1 #ahhg4 ,while reaching my conclusions in a different manner by careful and prolonged experimental investigation1 and expressing them differently1 ,i agree with ,dr4 ,hartmann in his most important principle1--the importance of love as the best element of life1 in sustaining health and intelligence1 and the necessity of its culture in education1 which has been so long neglected1 and which ,i have endeavored to enforce in the ,new ,education4 ,the structure and functions of the brain demonstrate that its love region is the chief support of its life1 that it supports both will and intelligence1 and that it not only sustains the highest health of him in whom it is developed and exercised1 but ministers also to the health of all whom he meets1 and is the great healing power in those whose presence or touch relieves the sick4 ,the existence of this beneficent power in the human constitution1 more restorative and pleasant than all medicines when present in sufficient fulness1 is rapidly becoming known throughout our country1 and is made intelligible as to its origin1 nature and application by ,sarcognomy1 as ,i am teaching in the ,college of ,therapeutics4 ,medical colleges1 in their ignorance and jealousy1 unwisely exclude and war against this nobler and more ethical method of healing1 thus compelling its development and practice as a distinct profession1 which is rapidly undermining their influence and diminishing their patronage by showing that1 in many cases where drug remedies have totally failed as applied by colleges1 the psycho-dynamic faculty of man may accomplish wonders4 ,,miscellaneous ,,intelligence4 ,,religion ,,and ,,science are exceedingly harmonious in assisting each other1 but theologians and scientists are exceedingly discordant4 ,who is in fault8 ,it is the fault of both4 ,both are bigoted and narrow-minded4 ,neither can see the truths that belong to the other party2 theologians dislike science1 not being able to see that science is a grander and more unquestionable revelation than any they have derived from tradition1 and scientists deride religion and theology1 not being able in their narrowness to recognize the higher forms of science in the great spiritual truths which have been apparent to all races from the most ancient limits of history4 ,of the scientific class the majority are averse to the religion of the times1 partly from their own sceptical nature1 and partly because religion has been presented in the repulsive forms of an absurd theology4 ,prof4 ,e4 ,s4 ,morse1 the president of the ,american ,association1 is a very sceptical agnostic4 ,proud ,huxley's the ,prince of ,agnostics1 you see1 ,and ,huxley and ,i do sweetly agree4 ,at the late meeting of the ,association1 ,august #aj1 at ,columbia ,college1 ,new ,york1 ,prof4 ,morse made an address in which he is reported as saying that ,dr4 ,darwin's theory was accepted by science1 although ecclesiastical bodies now and then rose up to protest against it4 ,he asserted that the missing links for which there was such a clamor were being supplied with such rapidity that even the zoologist had to work to keep up with his science4 ,it was a singular fact that no sooner did some one raise an objection to the theories of derivative science1 than some discovery was made which swept down the barrier4 ,it was safe enough for an intelligent man1 no matter what he knew of science1 to accept as true what science put forth1 and to set down as false whatever the church offered in opposition4 ,every theory and declaration of science had been opposed by the church4 ,the penalty of original sin1 according to a scientific writer1 was the penalty of man being raised to an upright position4 ,laughter4 ,cannot it be proved without question that the illiteracy of ,spain was the result of centuries of religious oppression and of the inquisition8 ,one of the scientists told a ,world reporter 7says the ,truth ,seeker7 that at last year's convention in ,buffalo1 ,prof4 ,morse made an address that was so full of infidelity that the ,catholic diocesan authorities there forbade the clergy from attending the meetings4 ,however1 the ,association has a small orthodox element in it1 and on ,sunday about one-eighth of the members held a prayer-meeting at ,columbia ,college1 at which allusions were made to the ungodly character of the majority of their associates1 which the said associates on ,monday regarded as a very objectionable proceeding4 ,in the contests between scientists and theologians it has long been apparent that the theologians are steadily receding4 ,the time was1 two or three hundred years ago1 when fearless scientists were imprisoned or burned by theologians4 ,now1 the scientists who lead the age treat theology with contempt and the press sustains them4 ,meanwhile1 scientific scepticism is invading the pulpit1 and all that distinguishes the ,bible from any treatise on moral philosophy is gradually being surrendered by leading theologians2 they are losing religion as well as theology4 ,,good ,,psychology4--,prof4 ,wm4 ,james1 of the chair of ,philosophy in ,harvard ,college1 and apparently the most philosophic gentleman in that conservative institution1 has published in the ,popular ,science ,monthly an essay on ,human ,instincts1 characterized by a vigorous common sense and close observation4 ,when he asserts 7contrary to the old metaphysics7 the existence of such instincts as fear1 acquisitiveness1 constructiveness1 play 7or1 properly1 playfulness71 curiosity1 sociability1 shyness1 secretiveness1 cleanliness1 modesty1 shame1 love1 coyness or personal isolation1 jealousy1 parental love1 etc41 he shows the spirit of science4 ,but is it not self-evident1 ,mr4 ,james1 to a man of your fine intelligence1 that all strong impulses 7or instincts1 as you call them7 must have a special nervous apparatus in the psychic region of the brain2 and that loving1 blushing1 stealing1 and fighting cannot be functions of the same organs concerned in perceiving color1 or comprehending music8 ,if ,i have traced these instincts to the special convolutions in which they reside1 and given innumerable demonstrations of their locality1 even in ,boston1 and before critical observers1 why have you not interested yourself in the question of the cerebral localities and the complete demonstration of all the instincts by that method8 ,i have even found an instinct of the love of truth among the higher sentiments1 which1 to a few rare individuals1 is the predominant impulse of their lives1 though1 alas1 in college professors1 as well as in other classes generally1 it is inhibited by a great variety of opposing instincts1 interests1 and social influences4 ,nowhere is it more completely inhibited than in ,boston and ,cambridge1 as ,i have been informed by the most intelligent old citizens4 ,,the ,,far-,,away ,,battle4--,in the quiet home the sounds of the far-away strife are not heard4 ,the war of the cannon is determining the destiny of empires1 but it is unheard in the cottage4 ,the myriad sounds of commerce in the city do not disturb the quiet of that home4 ,its quiet life attracts no attention4 ,but there is something in that home more important than war or commerce or king-craft--something that concerns human welfare more profoundly4 ,in that quiet home1 a human life is developing2 a human soul preparing for its life work--a work that will change the destiny of coming generations4 ,in many quiet homes such a work is in progress1 determining a nation's future4 ,all important movements are quiet and obscure in their origin4 ,as the magnificent forest was slowly and obscurely germinated in darkness1 in the seeds from which it sprung1 so are the great discoveries in science and philosophy matured in quietness and obscurity4 ,the thinker hears afar the sound of strife and the agitation of parties warring for power4 ,he knows the follies and errors that agitate mankind1 but he is withheld from entering the strife1 for he has a more important work to accomplish--a work for the future4 ,it is to such work that the ,,journal ,,of ,,man is devoted2 laying the foundation of that philosophy in which future thinkers shall find the principles of social reorganization4 ,it does not join in the strife of contending parties1 nor does it recognize any existing party as entirely free from error4 ,it gives its care to new and growing truths1 knowing that1 as ,carlyle says1 ,the weak thing weaker than a child becomes strong one day if it be a true thing4 ,,how ,,not ,,to ,,do ,,it4--,the ,seybert commission having made a splendid failure to find interesting and valuable facts where other investigators have succeeded1 their blundering ignorance is now assisted by newspaper mendacity4 ,the ,new ,york ,times1 of ,aug4 #bb1 concludes an extremely stupid article on this subject1 by the following paragraph1 which1 if the writer gave any indications of intelligence1 would be set down as a pure specimen of mendacity1 but is more probably a specimen of indolent ignorance3 ,if ,spiritualists could furnish one clearly-proved case of a spirit from the other world1 seen and tested by those now living on the earth1 there would be some sense and reason in their claims to be heard2 but until they do1 the great mass of intelligent people will refuse to listen1 and rightly1 too4 ,there must be an immense mass of the same kind of lazy ignorance in the community1 when such stuff is tolerated in a newspaper4 ,the contents of daily newspapers show that they expect more patronage from the debased and ignorant classes than from the intelligent and honorable4 ,,robbery ,,of ,,public ,,lands4--,the report of ,surveyor ,general ,geo4 ,w4 ,julian1 of ,colorado1 shows that of the patented and unpatented lands referred to1 aggregating #h1fid1ife acres1 it will be safe to estimate that at least one-half have been illegally devoted to private uses under invalid grants1 or unauthorized surveys4 ,he thinks it would not be extravagance to say that these land claimants1 with their enormous interests1 have exercised a shaping influence upon ,congress4 ,congress has approved #dg out of #di of these claims4 ,in this connection the report calls attention to the action of ,congress in #ahfj1 and the ,interior ,department in #ahgi in the famous ,maxwell land grant case1 which he characterizes as a wanton and shameful surrender to the rapacity of monopolists of #a1ffb1gfd acres of the public domain1 on which hundreds of poor men had settled in good faith and made valuable improvements4 ,it has been as calamitous to ,new ,mexico1 says the ,surveyor ,general1 as it is humiliating to the ,united ,states4 ,the report says3 ,during the last ,congress several members of both ,houses1 including the delegate from this ,territory1 reported bills for the confirmation of the ,socorro grant1 which is one of the most shocking of the many attempts yet made to plunder the public domain4 ,i do not say that the men who introduced these bills intended to make themselves parties to any scheme of robbery1 but their action shows that the hidden hand of roguery is still feeling its way in ,congress for a friendly go-between4 ,as a remedy for this condition of affairs1 ,mr4 ,julian recommends resurveys of all grants about which there is any doubt1 and the entering of suits to set aside patents obtained by fraud4 ,,land ,,reform ,,in ,,england4--,one hundred and twenty-four members of the ,english ,parliament are in favor of the following land scheme propounded by ,charles ,bradlaugh3 ,ownership of land should carry with it the duty of cultivation4 ,where land capable of cultivation with profit1 and not devoted to some purpose of public utility or enjoyment1 is held in a waste or uncultivated state1 the local authorities ought to have the power to compulsorily acquire such land4 ,the compensation is to be only the 'payment to the owner for a limited term of an annual sum not exceeding the then average net annual produce of the said lands4' ,the local authorities are to let the lands thus acquired to tenant cultivators4 ,the conditions of tenure are to be such 'as shall afford reasonable encouragement1 opportunities1 facilities1 and security for the due cultivation and development of the said land4' ,,life ,,in ,,europe4--,senator ,frye1 of ,maine1 having returned from ,europe1 spoke thus to a reporter1 at ,lewiston3 ,we have taken a tour of the continent and of ,great ,britain1 and although we have seen many places1 we have seen no place like home--no place in all respects equal to ,america4 ,you will find in the ,old ,world much that is admirable1 but what impressed me most painfully was the poverty of the masses of the people4 ,why1 the people in ,europe live on the poorest food1 and mighty little of it4 ,i found that laborers in ,glasgow work for #bs4 #f;d4 a day--sixty-two cents4 ,i was charmed with ,edinburgh1 but when ,i saw women drunk and fighting in her beautiful streets1 the modern ,athens lost her charms4 ,i cannot convey to you the picture of the degradation and want throughout ,great ,britain1 caused by drink4 ,i come back a stouter cold-water man than when ,i went away4 ,the drink evil is a horror4 ,speaking of wages1 ,i found girls in factories in ,venice working with great skill for from five to twelve cents a day1 the most experienced getting twelve cents a day1 out of which they have to live1 but how they live is a wonder4 ,their chief diet is macaroni4 ,farm hands all over ,europe--women--earn twenty cents a day4 ,women do most of the field work4 ,i saw no improved machinery on the farms of the continent4 ,i have seen twenty women in one field at work--not a man in sight4 ,the plain people see no meat to eat once a week on the continent4 ,the condition of ,american wage-earners is incomparably better than that of working people in ,europe4 ,it's the difference between comfort and competence1 and discomfort and insufficient food and clothing4 ,perhaps the most contemptible people one meets abroad are the ,anglicized ,americans--the man who apes1 both in manners and language1 what he regards as the ,english aristocracy1 affects to believe everything in ,england perfect1 and seems to be ashamed to institute any favorable comparison between his country and that4 ,,education ,,in ,,france4--,the ,academy of ,medicine has passed a resolution demanding of the government changes in the hours of study for children1 larger play grounds1 removal of schools to the country1 and daily teaching of gymnastics4 ,these suggestions are urgently needed in ,france1 where children are subjected to a far more rigid and enfeebling method than in ,america4 ,the power of the church over education is destroyed in ,france1 and religious instruction is now prohibited4 ,,canada ,,and ,,the ,,union4--,rev4 ,w4 ,h4 ,murray reports a strong feeling in ,canada for annexation4 ,he says3 ,a gentleman of great influence in this city1 and of established loyalty to the land of his birth1 described the position here very distinctly in the following words3 ',i wish ,i could make money and remain an ,englishman1 but ,i can't1 and hence ,i propose to become an ,american1 for ,i cannot impoverish myself and my family for a sentiment1 however honorable4' ,in the many conversations ,i have heard on the part of many people of all classes touching commercial union1 it has1 in every case1 been assumed that it was only a prelude to political union also4 ,many have insisted1 as they talked1 that the two countries should come together1 and at once2 that the feeling of the country was fast ripening for it1 and that what it lacked in education in this matter would soon be learned4 ,this has surprised me2 for it was not so a few years ago4 ,,woman ,,in ,,the ,,moon4--,the discovery of a woman in the moon is announced by ,w4 ,h4 ,burr1 in a letter to the ,new ,york ,sun1 ,it was made more than a year ago by ,dr4 ,james ,h4 ,thompson1 a retired physician of ,washington4 ,it is a profile occupying the west half of the moon1 the dark spot above answering to the banged hair4 ,she faces a little upward1 and has a neck big enough to require a collar of the size that ,mr4 ,cleveland wears4 ,and yet she is good-looking4 ,the profile may be seen through an opera-glass4--,truth ,seeker4 ,,emancipation ,,from ,,petticoats4--,that distinguished ,parisienne1 ,mme4 de ,valsayre1 has been petitioning the ,french legislature in favor of the emancipation of women from petticoats4 ,her case is that petticoats are very dangerous1 leading to innumerable fatal accidents1 and that trousers are just as decent1 more healthy and far less expensive4 ',all this is very true1' says ,labouchere1 in the ,world1 'though ,i do not suppose that if the ,french women were as free as our own countrywomen are to dress as they like1 they would make much use of their liberty4 ,trousers do not afford the same scope for decoration as petticoats4 ,they cannot be trimmed to any considerable extent1 and the effect of an improver or bustle worn under them would be absurd4 ,i have always wondered1 however1 that serious ladies in this country do not set more store by this branch of progress4 ,if ,i were a woman ,i would much rather have a pair of trousers than a vote or even a university degree4' ,,women',s ,,rights ,,in ,,the ,,streets4--,the lawless freedom with which men approach or assail women in some ,american cities1 while women on the other hand are subjected to the meddlesome and domineering interference of policemen1 lends some interest to the case of ,miss ,cass in ,london1 one of the victims of police brutality1 which has excited an inquiry and comment in ,parliament1 and is likely to result in the punishment of the policeman4 ,the ,new ,york ,sun says3 ,the case of ,miss ,cass1 who was arrested in ,regent ,street as a disreputable character1 has started in the ,pall ,mall ,gazette a discussion of the annoyances to which decent women are subjected in the streets of ,london4 ,it will be remembered that she was a respectable girl recently arrived in ,london1 where she had obtained employment in a milliner's shop1 and that while waiting in ,regent ,street early in the evening she was arrested by a policeman1 who insisted in regarding her as a professional street-walker1 as which1 also1 she was held by a magistrate1 who refused1 to listen to her denials and explanations4 ,many women have accordingly written to the ,pall ,mall ,gazette to ask why1 if a woman is liable to arrest on the mere suspicion of having addressed a man1 men are allowed to annoy and insult women in the ,london streets with perfect impunity4 ,the testimony of them all is that1 even in the daytime1 a lady with any claims to good looks1 and who walks alone1 is always liable to such treatment1 no matter how modest her apparel and reserved her demeanor4 ,it is not merely of insolent and persistent staring that they complain1 for they have grown to expect that as a matter of course2 but they are actually spoken to by men who are strangers to them1 in the most insinuating and offensively flattering terms4 ,these men are commonly described as 'gentlemen' in appearance2 'a tall1 distinguished1 military-looking man2' 'a youthful diplomat2' 'a government official1 a man holding a lucrative appointment1' and the like4 ,they are not roughs2 from them ladies have nothing of the sort to fear2 but men who think to have the greater success and to enjoy the complete immunity because they wear the garb of gentlemen4 ,rev4 ,mr4 ,haweis writes that 'you might easily fill the ,pall ,mall ,gazette with nothing else for months1 for we have come to such a pass as this1 that a young girl cannot stand aside at a railway station while papa takes tickets1 nor a girl lead her blind relative through the streets1 nor can a married woman go twenty paces in a ,london thoroughfare without the risk of insult or even assault4' ,these evils are a relic of the old ideas of woman's inferiority1 and their only sure remedy is the destruction of that inferiority by the industrial and professional education1 which will make the woman the par of her brother1 and enable her to maintain her equal rights everywhere4 ,a ,,woman',s ,,triumph ,,in ,,paris4--,the public examination of ,miss ,bradley at the ,ecole de ,medicine in ,paris is thus described3 ,when ,miss ,bradley stepped into the arena1 clad in the traditional garb1 the general comment of the audience was3 ,how like ,portia in the trial scene of the ',merchant of ,venice4' ,it was known to ,miss ,bradley's college mates and other friends that her thesis would be on ,iodism1 and that she had taken a year to write an elaborate book on the subject1 which will soon be republished in ,england from the original ,french4 ,for an hour and a half she was questioned with great shrewdness and ability by four of the leading professors of the ,ecole de ,medicine1--,drs4 ,fournier1 ,gautier1 ,porchet1 and ,robin4 ,each of these gentlemen had previously received a copy of ,miss ,bradley's bold book1 and they had brought their copies to the examining room1 with multitudinous interrogation marks on the margins1 showing that the new treatise had not only been very carefully read1 but had excited much curiosity and attention4 ,miss ,bradley had the great advantage of an unhackneyed theme1 which she skilfully illustrated by a numerous array of unfamiliar facts4 ,her triumph was of a very peculiar character4 ,her four examiners said to her1 with admiring frankness3 ,you have been working a new field2 we cannot agree with many of your conclusions2 further investigation may lead either yourself or us to different views2 but1 meanwhile1 you have presented to the college a thesis which does you uncommon honor1 and for which we unanimously award you the maximum mark of merit4 ,after the announcement of the award1 ,miss ,bradley was entertained at dinner by ,miss ,augusta ,klumpke1 the first female physician who has ever been admitted to practice in the hospitals of ,paris4 ,both these ladies are ,americans--,miss ,klumpke from ,san

to mail complete directions for making a machine similar to hers1 that will do gold1 silver and nickel-plating4 ,f4 ,henry ,greer writes3 ,two young gentlewomen are studying electrical engineering1 which profession has not yet been overcrowded4 ,great fortunes have been made in its pursuit4 ,if any readers of your valuable journal are interested1 ,i will freely give them any information in my power4 ,,mrs4 ,,stanton ,,on ,,the ,,jubilee4--,if mine has been the one discordant note in the grand jubilee chorus to the ,queen1 it is because behind all the busy preparations for the most brilliant pageant the world has ever witnessed1 of gilded royalty and nobility1 my eyes beheld the dark shadows on the background of homeless1 starving men1 women and children1 into whose desolate lives would never come one touch of light or love4 ,there is something to me unspeakably sad in the eager1 gazing multitudes that crowd the streets on these grand gala days4 ,there is ever a sphinx-like questioning look in their upturned faces that seems to say1 ',ah6 must the many ever suffer that the few may shine8' ,as the sun went down on that #bast of ,june1 what a contrast in the close of the day's festivities between the children of luxury and want4 ,who that can share in imagination one hour the miseries of ,england's impoverished people1 can rejoice in a reign of fifty years that has cost the nation #bb1jjj1jjj of pounds sterling in extra allowances to the ,queen and her children1 in addition to the legitimate cost of the royal household and the hereditary property rights of the throne8 ,nevertheless the ,jubilee was a fine exhibition1 and the ,london ,baptist says that #d1jjj was paid for the use of the windows of one house to see the ,jubilee4 ,,electricity

dispensing with the intermediate use of steam1 and ultimately getting the power from the sun's rays4 ,,progress ,,of ,,the ,,telegraph4--,the ,london ,times thus summarizes some of the statements made by ,mr4 ,raikes1 the postmaster-general1 in his speech delivered at the telegraph jubilee the other day3 ,at first a machine required five wires before it could dispatch a message4 ,now on one single wire seven or eight messages can be sent simultaneously4 ,at first the rate of sending did not amount to more than four or five words a minute4 ,now on the latest machine no less than #dfb words a minute can be dispatched4 ,the number of messages has increased by steady steps1 until now1 under the new tariff and with the facilities that have been so widely extended since the telegraphs came into the hands of the government1 the number is truly portentous4 ,those sent during the past year amounted to close upon a million a week--fifty-one and one-half millions in all4 ,letters have grown from #hj1jjj1jjj in the year of the ,queen's accession to more than #a1djj1jjj1jjj4 ,according to ,mr4 ,pender1 there are some #aae1jjj miles of cables lying at the bottom of the sea4 ,the progress in this department has been constant4 ,the latest scheme1 as the new colonial blue-books show1 is for laying a cable under the ,pacific ,ocean1 from ,vancouver to ,new ,zealand4 ,surely there is no task from which modern science will recoil4 ,,the ,,mystery ,,of ,,the ,,ages4--,a work recently published at ,london by the ,countess of ,caithness is a work of ability and learning1 devoted especially to

water as to kill the catfish that inhabited it4 ,it lies in the pond1 and looks as if a hundred feet wide4 ,a much more marvellous story has been published of an engraved meteoric stone falling in an obscure portion of ,georgia near ,clayton ,court-house1 which is a hoax1 and has been so pronounced by the postmaster at ,clayton4 ,whether the ,california story is true ,i have not ascertained1 but the fall of a great meteor in this region has developed a grand meteoric capacity for lying4 ,the despatch first published by the ,boston ,herald described the stone as falling near ,mc,adam ,junction1 not far from ,bangor1 ,maine1 making the crockery rattle at the ,junction1 and plunging into the earth all but about ten feet of the stone1 which was so hot that no one could come within fifty yards of it4 ,it has not been found at all1 for it dropped into the ,bay of ,fundy2 but it illuminated the whole country for a vast distance1 and looked as large as the moon4 ,it had a long

,the number of cases of crime among the abstainers was #agb1 among the drinkers #c1ihh1 a difference of one to twenty-three in number1 or more than ten to one in percentage4 ,the temperate had but #d4cb per cent4 of crime1 the drinkers #de4ag per cent4 ,the percentage of sickness and death was more than twice as great among the drinkers4 ,liquor1 therefore1 more than doubled the proportion of disease and mortality1 and increased the criminality more than tenfold4 ,of the numbers tried by court martial there were #abj times as many proportionally among the drinkers as among the temperate4 ,the destructive effects of drink are far greater in hot climates1 and perceptibly greater in hot weather4 ,the ,southern ,states of the ,union are in advance of the ,northern on the temperance question4 ,the legislature of ,georgia has passed a bill by a large majority which taxes wine rooms in prohibition counties #aj1jjj4 ,at present this covers nearly all the ,state4 ,the forty-fifth annual report of the ,registrar ,general of ,england shows that estimating the average mortality of males in ,england at #a1jjj1 that of brewers is #a1cfa1 of innkeepers and publicans #a1eba4 ,scotch

the doctor should be engaged and paid by the year1 so that his interest would be to keep the people well instead of sick4 ,moreover1 it would be more economical1 as a doctor1 secure of steady support1 would not be inclined to make heavy charges1 and the patient would not find a fit of illness making a dangerous inroad on his finances1 so as to double his misfortune4 ,the scheme has been advocated in the newspapers4 ,,the ,,selfish ,,system ,,of ,,society4--,the system of antagonism and competition results in a universal system of plunder by exorbitant charges1 and each man protects himself by overcharging in return4 ,plunder by overcharging is so much the custom that no one objects to it4 ,the ,boston ,herald says3 ,there is a baker in ,new ,york1 who sells large loaves of bread of the finest quality for five cents a loaf4 ,the same-sized loaf sells for ten cents in ,boston4 ,in like manner1 ,americans generally pay ten cents for a loaf about half as large as that sold for ten cents1 in ,london2 yet the ,london baker has to buy the same flour after its cost is enhanced by an ocean voyage4 ,this is the custom of society2 the glass of lemonade1 costing perhaps two cents1 is sold at all prices1 from five or ten cents up to twenty-five4 ,the correspondent of a ,denver paper says that lumber costing forty-five cents a hundred feet1 is sold at #b4be4 ,these are samples of the financial disorder of life in all departments4 ,,educated ,,beetles4--,bridgeport1 ,conn41 ,aug4 #bd4 ,miss ,emily ,nelson1 of this city1 has received a present from ,merida1 ,yucatan1 in the shape of an educated jewelled bug4 ,it has a harness of gold and is jewelled with precious stones4 ,the custom is said to have originated among the ,spanish nobility several centuries ago1 when the first bug was educated and worn by a princess4 ,the bug became greatly attached to the maiden1 and partook of her moods and dispositions4 ,when she was sad or disheartened the bug became sluggish2 and when she was joyous and vivacious the bug was likewise lively in its movements4 ,at her death1 the bug pined away and died1 too4 ,miss ,nelson is very happy and justly very proud of her present4 ,the insect is about the size of an ordinary black beetle4 ,around the body is firmly fastened a gold band4 ,a gold strap is riveted to this and passes down the back around and under the body1 and is welded upon the under side to the gold belt4 ,upon the back are tiny jewels set in gold and fastened into the shell4 ,the coloring of the shell is a brilliant ,nile green1 edged with black4 ,the movement of the bug gives flashes of variegated colors4 ,upon the under side is fastened a delicate gold chain which in turn is attached to a brooch4 ,it is educated to eat from the lips4 ,it understands various whistles and calls1 and appears and disappears at the word of command4--,globe4 ,,rustless ,,iron is being manufactured in ,new ,york by a new process which1 it is claimed1 converts the surface of the metal into magnetic oxide of iron4 ,this is done by subjecting it successively to the action of highly heated air and carbonic acid gas from coal fires4 ,the process can be applied with most satisfactory results to water-pipes and architectural work4 ,,weighing ,,the ,,earth4--,prof4 ,proctor proposes to repeat in ,florida an experiment to determine the weight of the earth1 and mentions the results of the methods heretofore tried4 ,newton first estimated the weight of the earth to be between five and six times as great as that of water4 ,such a weight it would have if it were one half iron and the other half limestone1 or half copper and half clay4 ,evidently the metallic weight preponderates4 ,weighing the earth is accomplished by comparing the effect of its attraction with that of much smaller bodies4 ,one method is to compare1 by balancing the weight of two balls1 one above a globe of lead1 as large as practicable1 and the other below it1 so as to have the attraction of the leaden globe pulling up and counteracting the gravitation to the earth4 ,the effect is very slight and requires delicate apparatus4 ,by another1 but more inaccurate method1 the attraction of the earth has been compared with that of a mountain--a very indefinite method indeed4 ,a better method was that of ,astronomer ,airy and ,mr4 ,dunkin1 who went down into the ,harton coal pit #a1bfj feet to see how much difference that depth would make in the movements of a pendulum4 ,it gained #b-a_/d seconds in #bd hours1 and the weight of the earth was inferred to be over #f-a_/b times as great as that of water2 but it is manifest that such a method could yield nothing much more accurate than the mountain experiment which indicated a weight #d-c_/d times that of water4 ,the ball experiment1 which is the most reliable1 indicated #e-a_/b times the weight of water1 thus coinciding with ,newton's astronomical opinion1 which is probably true4 ,,head ,,and ,,heart4--,the popular use of the terms head and heart to represent thought and emotion1 which is contrary to physiology1 is analogous to ,dr4 ,hartmann's statement of the oriental doctrine that thought alone belongs to the brain1 but life and will to the heart4 ,this ancient speculation 7not intuition7 is easily refuted4 ,if it were true1 the will power and powers of life would be proportional to the development of the heart1 regardless of the brain1 but the reverse is the fact4 ,great development of heart does not increase either will power1 or life1 but is injurious to both4 ,the enlarged 7hypertrophied7 heart is injurious to vital power and will power1 and in proportion to its increase1 it tends to shorten life by apoplexy or some other form of cerebral disorder4 ,it produces no increase of either life1 will1 or love4 ,in fact1 the stomach is more nearly associated with love than the heart1 for men are much more amiable after enjoying a feast1 but the heart1 which is a part of the muscular system1 is at its maximum of action in combat and war4 ,,the ,,rectification ,,of ,,cerebral ,,science1 commenced in this number1 will be continued in the ,november number1 bringing

determined by experiment1 is whether the cranioscopy of ,gall and ,spurzheim was successful in locating the cerebral functions1 and how nearly their inferences from development correspond with the revelations of experiment4 ,it is with great pleasure that ,i am able to say that the system of ,gall and ,spurzheim was a wonderful approximation to the truth4 ,dr4 ,gall was pre-eminently the scientific pioneer of the nineteenth century4 ,no single individual ever did so much to enlarge the sphere of human knowledge1 and to establish the permanent foundations of philosophy4 ,up to his time1 the brain of man was at once the greatest mystery of anatomy and the repository of a greater amount of wisdom and truth than all other realms of science which had previously been explored4 ,but so limited was the knowledge1 and so narrow the understanding of the learned1 that the grandeur of cerebral science was not even suspected1 and1 even at the present time1 it is so remote from the speculations of the learned that1 like a distant star1 it has few practical relations to their life2 nor will its magnitude be realized until an ample literature shall have made its scientific record4 ,into this field of mystery1 ,dr4 ,gall advanced with a courage unknown to his predecessors1 and his success was equal to his courage4 ,the entire plan and constitution of the brain were revealed by his anatomical genius1 and his successors have but carried further and perfected his anatomical system4 ,his anatomical exposition of the brain1 addressed to the ,french ,institute in #ahjh1 is one of the great landmarks of the progress of science--the commencement of a new era2 and his exposition of its functions was the solution of a problem which had defied the genius and learning of all his predecessors4 ,his discoveries in anatomy were so great that ,reil 7himself a brain anatomist of the highest rank1 whose name is permanently associated with anatomy by the name ,island of ,reil1 which belongs to the location in which ,gall made his first discovery of the faculty and organ of language71 ,reil1 ,i say1 declared that ,dr4 ,gall had shown him more in his dissections of the brain than he thought it possible for any one man to have discovered in his lifetime2 and1 in fact1 some of the old anatomists1 not having been personally instructed by ,gall1 professed to find it difficult1 if not impossible1 to unfold the brain after his manner4 ,these discoveries gave ,dr4 ,gall at once a very eminent rank among the learned1 for anatomy being a physical science1 there never has been any opposition1 jealousy1 or scepticism against its cultivation among the educated1 nor was there anything marvellous in his revelation of cerebral functions1 for he studied only the common familiar faculties of men and animals1 and never looked into the mysterious and marvellous powers which a more thorough investigation has revealed4 ,indeed1 his reception at first was quite triumphant1 and it was not until the death of ,gall and ,spurzheim1 leaving no able and competent representative to carry on their labors1 that the drift of medical scepticism and ignorance arrested the progress of his doctrines4 ,i say ignorance1 for the aversion to the doctrines of ,gall was due far more to the ignorance of the profession and their entire neglect of the craniological method than to any other causes4 ,gall had good reason to be satisfied with his first reception1 except as to the hostility of the ,austrian government1 which suppressed his lectures and compelled him to go abroad1 settling finally in ,paris1 where he again encountered governmental hostility in the unfriendliness of ,bonaparte1 whose rejection alike of ,gall and of ,fulton1 who wished to introduce steam navigation1 demonstrated that great military and political ability may co-exist with great shallowness of mind in reference to all things new1 original1 and philanthropic4 ,so it has always been1 and so it continues4 ,in his travels in ,germany1 from #ahje to #ahjg1 accompanied by ,dr4 ,spurzheim1 ,i experienced everywhere 7said ,gall7 the most flattering reception4 ,sovereigns1 ministers1 philosophers1 legislators1 artists seconded my design on all occasions1 augmenting my collection1 and furnishing me everywhere with new observations4 ,the circumstances were too favorable to permit me to resist the invitations which came to me from most of the universities4 ,thirty-four of the leading cities and seats of learning enjoyed the visits of ,gall and ,spurzheim before they settled in ,paris1 where1 although ,french jealousy arose against this ,german invasion1 and the influence of ,napoleon prevented their cordial reception1 they nevertheless commanded and retained the respect of scientists and had many devoted friends1 including ,broussais and ,andral1 who then stood at the head of the medical profession1 and of ,corvisart1 ,napoleon's physician1 who could not overcome his master's prejudice4 ,in speaking of the great void left by the decease of ,gall and ,spurzheim1 ,i do not forget that for a few years ,george ,combe1 ,dr4 ,elliotson1 and ,dr4 ,macartney1 of ,england1 and ,dr4 ,caldwell1 of ,america1 survived1 but these eminent gentlemen were not so identified with the science1 or so competent to sustain it as to wear the mantle of its founders4 ,my own labors beginning after the death of the founders were those of investigation and discovery1 and never to any great extent those of propagation4 ,indeed1 for twenty years ,i entirely abandoned the scientific rostrum1 and almost ended my labors1 feeling that my duty had been done in the way of development and demonstration4 ,but in accordance with the great law of periodicity1 ,i resumed my labors in #ahgg-gh4 ,when we look at the doctrines of ,gall and ,spurzheim in the light of positive science and philosophy1 our first observation is that they fell very far short of revealing the entire functions of the brain1 and discovering in it all the important spiritual and physical faculties and energies of life4 ,they did not attempt to explore the brain as a physiological organ1 and determine how or in what special organs it controls the physiological functions4 ,these may be regarded as one half1 though the lower half1 of its capacities1 out of which arises a vast amount of medical philosophy4 ,as to the psychic half of the cerebral functions1 they omitted entirely that portion which relates to pneumatology4 ,they thought nothing of the soul as an object of science1 and made no attempt to trace its connection with the brain1 and the vast number of phenomena which lie along the border line between the physical and spiritual1 and which are conspicuous in the phenomena of somnambulism1 sleep1 dreaming1 hypnotism1 spiritualism1 clairvoyance1 trance1 ecstasy1 and religious marvels4 ,overlooking these things1 they sought the seats of from twenty-seven faculties 7as with ,gall7 to thirty-five 7as with ,spurzheim71 and did not appear to realize how many had been entirely omitted4 ,when all they attempted to locate are located by positive experiment and assigned their proper localities and limits1 we find fully one half of the cerebral surface vacant for organs of other functions4 ,indeed1 the first large publication of ,gall and ,spurzheim1 in four volumes folio1 with an atlas of #ajj plates1 begun in #ahji and finished in #ahai1 did not in the cranial map of organs profess to be a complete development of the functions of the brain4 ,it located organs1 but did not determine the functions intermediate between their boundaries4 ,this was the map of ,gall4 ,in that of ,spurzheim the intermediate spaces were occupied and the entire exterior surface of the brain devoted to organology1 yet still the basilar and interior surface of the brain remained unknown to ,spurzheim1 and the exterior regions which he supposed entirely occupied by his organs were but half occupied by them4 ,thus when we consider the unexplored basilar and interior regions1 and that half of its exterior surface which was erroneously appropriated to the thirty-five organs1 as well as the erroneous location of several1 we perceive that more than half of the organs and functions of the brain remained for investigation4 ,turning away from the anatomy to contemplate the psychology1 we perceive that more than half of human nature had been omitted from the ,german scheme1--that half of the mental functions which belongs to the organs of the vacant spaces on the corrected map1 and in addition to these the higher psychic functions1 and the lower physiological functions1 neither of which ,gall and ,spurzheim explored1 because they did not attempt to study the brain as a physiological organ1 and they did not bring the soul and the higher functions of the mind within the scope of their science4 ,gall was a bold1 original naturalist and anatomist but not a psychologist2 and the incorrectness of his psychology hindered his investigations1 and prevented him from carrying out a proper subdivision of faculties and organs4 ,he says in the last volume3 ,each fundamental power1 essentially distinct1 includes sensation1 perception1 memory and recollection1 judgment and imagination1--disregarding the truth that these are distinct intellectual powers1 belonging to different organs1 and therefore bearing no proportion to each other4 ,one may have an immense memory without imagination1 or a brilliant imagination without much memory4 ,these1 and many other psychological errors1 are apparent in the writings of ,gall1 and still more in those of ,spurzheim4 ,illustration ,in the drawing herewith presented1 the thirty-five organs of ,spurzheim are assigned their proper locations and dimensions4 ,the first organ1 ,,amativeness 7made second by ,spurzheim71 was assumed to occupy the entire cerebellum4 ,it really occupies only its median and superior portion1 and a small section of the anterior surface of the spinal cord1 adjacent to the encephalon4 ,this error of ,gall and ,spurzheim did a great deal to discredit their system4 ,it manifested on their part a fallibility of judgment1 and a dogmatic adherence to first impressions in the face of evidence to the contrary2 for the experiments of ,rolando and ,flourens demonstrated a connection between the cerebellum and the general vital force and muscular action4 ,the relation may not have been clearly understood1 but the facts were decisive1 and the researches of ,majendie1 with the more recent ones of ,ferrier1 have made more clear the relations of the cerebellum to the muscular system and vital force4 ,the doctrine of ,gall has been abandoned by physiologists because refuted by many facts1 the most decisive of which is that the cerebellum of castrated horses is larger than that of stallions1 which could not be possible if the cerebellum had only sexual functions4 ,moreover1 the doctrine of ,gall was essentially unreasonable in itself4 ,to suppose that so large a portion of the brain which is continually active1 being well supplied with blood1 could have a function which is but occasionally active1 and which1 through the greater part of human life1 is unnoticed or inactive1 is extremely unreasonable2 and to suppose that the serious disturbances of animal life and muscular motion1 caused by ablations of the cerebellum1 were due to the disturbance of an organ having only sexual functions1 was thoroughly absurd4 ,the parrot-like repetition of these exploded errors by the followers of the phrenological system contributed to its discredit in the medical profession4 ,the #b;d organ of ,gall 7#c;d of ,spurzheim71 ,,philoprogenitiveness1 was regarded as one of the best known phrenological organs1 but my unprejudiced study of heads soon assured me of its inaccuracy4 ,the organ was small in ,spurzheim1 who was remarkably fond of children1 and ,i have found it small in ladies who showed no lack of parental love1 but generally well developed and active in criminal skulls4 ,one which ,i obtained in ,arkansas1 of a man named ,richmond1 had this region large and active1 although he was the one of a group of murderers by whom the children1 or1 rather1 boys1 were killed4 ,this region is extremely defective in the brains of birds1 which are certainly very devoted to their young4 ,the attachment to children belongs really to an interior region of the occiput1 where the occipital lobes face the median line4 ,hence it is that a large occipital development very often coincides with the love of children2 but the true position of the organ renders it difficult to determine its development in life4 ,,adhesiveness 7#c;d7 is located by ,spurzheim farther back and lower than it should be2 also1 too far back in ,gall's map4 ,it belongs to the vacant space in front of ,gall's location4 ,,inhabitiveness 7#eth7 is an imaginary definition of the function located behind ,self-esteem4 ,equally imaginary is the doctrine of the ,edinburgh phrenologists1 who call it ,concentrativeness4 ,the observations of ,gall led him to regard it as a portion of the organ of ,pride1 and as giving to animals a love of lofty locations4 ,gall was nearer right than ,spurzheim or ,combe4 ,the only function ,i find in this spot is ,self-confidence4 ,the tendencies to a quiet love of home1 and the ability to tranquillize and concentrate the mind1 are located1 virtually1 above the ear on the temporal arch1 the ridge which separates the lateral from the superior surface of the head4 ,,destructiveness1 the #eth organ of ,gall and #ast of ,spurzheim1 was located much too high and too far forward by ,gall4 ,i am surprised at this1 since it differs so widely from the indications of comparative anatomy that it is difficult to imagine how ,gall was misled4 ,any one comparing the skull of a dog with that of a sheep may discover the error4 ,he called it ,murder1 or the wish to destroy4 ,spurzheim1 who does not describe its location1 says1 ,at the beginning ,gall placed the seat of this organ too far behind the ear1 but a great number of observations convinced us that its seat is immediately above the ear4 ,the truth is that the convolutions which terminate on the temporal bone over the ear are only on the border of ,destructiveness1 and produce only an irritable and impulsive temper4 ,the true ,destructiveness extends fully an inch under the surface of the middle lobe1 along the petrous ridge of the temporal bone1 and is manifested externally just behind the ear by the prominence of the mastoid process4 ,,combativeness 7the #fth of ,spurzheim1 or ,courage and ,self-defence1 the #dth of ,gall7 is located with tolerable correctness by each and properly described4 ,,secretiveness1 which is but a modification of ,cautiousness1 occupying its middle region1 is much too large on the maps1 and on that of ,gall it is quite out of place--too far forward and too high up1 occupying a region which produces modesty and refinement4 ,,acquisitiveness 7#gth of ,gall1 #hth of ,spurzheim7 is still farther mislocated on the map of ,gall1 occupying a region of intellectual1 inventive and literary capacity4 ,this is the most outre and absurd of all ,gall's locations4 ,placing this selfish and grasping propensity in the front lobe which belongs to intellect1 when it really belongs to the selfish1 adhesive1 and combative elements of the occiput1 is an error of so extravagant a character as to show that ,gall had no correct psychology in his mind1 and no capacity or desire to construct a harmonious system4 ,spurzheim's location1 much farther back1 is somewhat less erroneous1 but both are thoroughly false1 and a few months of my first observations fifty-two years ago satisfied me as to this error4 ,that it should have flourished unchallenged by ,phrenologists for eighty years1 seems to show that when a dominant idea is once established in the mind1 all facts are made to conform to it4 ,is is remarkable1 too1 that the very great difference between the locations given by ,gall and by ,spurzheim has not attracted notice4 ,but in fact the map of ,gall has never had any popular currency4 ,spurzheim and ,combe have been the accepted authors4 ,the true location of acquisitiveness is anterior to combativeness1 and lower than adhesiveness4 ,gall was misled by studying the young pickpockets and thieves of ,vienna4 ,the organ that he found suits a low cunning and dextrous character when the head lacks elevation4 ,,constructiveness1 ,spurzheim's #ith 7,bausinn1 or aptitude for mechanical arts1 of ,gall ,no4 #ai71 is decidedly mislocated by ,spurzheim4 ,instead of being placed in the purely intellectual region adjacent to calculation1 order1 and system1 it is carried back and down into the region of somnolence and sensitive impressibility4 ,gall's location is a little worse because lower1 being carried out of the intellectual region into the middle lobe according to his published map4 ,it is very easy to detect this error in examining a number of heads1 and it was quite apparent to me in my first year's observations4 ,in impressible persons the touch upon this locality produces nothing but a dreamy influence1 and a disposition to close the eyes4 ,carried farther1 it produces the mesmeric sleep4 ,,cautiousness 7the #ajth of both ,spurzheim and ,gall7 was too far back in ,spurzheim's map1 occupying space that belongs to adhesiveness4 ,it runs downward along the course of the lateral convolutions1 and its more timid and gloomy functions are developed near the ear1 differing widely from the functions of its upper portion4 ,,approbativeness 7the #aath of ,spurzheim1 and #ith of ,gall7 is located with substantial correctness1 covering1 however1 more functions than that term expresses4 ,gall's location and definition are also substantially correct4 ,,self-,,esteem 7the #abth of ,spurzheim1 #hth of ,gall7 is well located and described with approximative correctness4 ,,firmness1 ,,religion 7,veneration or ,theosophy71 and ,,benevolence are so well located and described by both ,gall and ,spurzheim as to need but little comment at present4 ,the four superior organs on the median line1 and the organ of ,,conscientiousness were more correctly located and described than any other large portion of the brain4 ,,hope is not adjacent to ,conscientiousness1 but parallel to ,religion4 ,,marvellousness has a preposterously large space assigned it1 being really a small organ at the summit of ,ideality1 which exercises a more intellectual and less superstitious function than has been given it4 ,marvellousness1 ,hope1 ,conscientiousness1 ,time1 ,order1 ,weight1 ,size1 and ,individuality are the eight organs discovered and added by ,spurzheim1 not having been recognized by ,gall4 ,the exterior portion of ,spurzheim's ,marvellousness occupies the space devoted by ,gall to ,poetry4 ,,poetry1 recognized by ,gall1 is brought lower by ,spurzheim and called ,,ideality4 ,both locations are substantially correct4 ,the location of ,gall is the seat of ,marvellousness1 ,imagination1 and ,spirituality2 that of ,spurzheim is well expressed by the term ,ideality1 and the description given1 but the word ,poetry is rather too limited as the definition of ,gall's organ4 ,it gives brilliance to prose and to oratory1 or even conversation1 as well as to poetry4 ,,imitation1 adjacent to ,benevolence1 is somewhat better located by ,gall than by ,spurzheim1 who gives it too much breadth anteriorly4 ,,wit or ,,mirthfulness is a confused and erroneous statement4 ,the two faculties are distinct1 ,wit being intellectual and occupying a small space adjacent to ,causality or ,reason1 while ,mirthfulness1 or the sentiment of the ludicrous1 is just above it1 and should properly be called ,humor4 ,the mirthful or playful faculty is in the posterior region adjacent to ,approbativeness1 and may be quite conspicuous when there is neither wit nor humor in the mirth4 ,imitation1 ,mirth or ,humor1 and ,wit follow each other in a line4 ,the so-called organ of ,wit 7,gall7 or ,mirthfulness 7,spurzheim7 is the seat of the most profound reasoning faculty1 while the ,,causality of ,spurzheim1 the ,,metaphysical ,,depth of thought of ,gall1 though it gives a clear analytical intelligence has really less profundity and ability in reasoning than the organ which they have misnamed ,wit and ,mirthfulness1 which is pre-eminently the organ of profound reasoning4 ,,eventuality and ,,individuality are confounded as one organ by ,gall1 calling it ,educability1 or ,memory of ,things but rightly separated by ,spurzheim1 as the observation and memory of events are distinct from the observation of things4 ,though ,i do not use the word ,individuality1 it is not an objectionable expression1 as it suggests the fine perceptive power of its location4 ,both ,gall and ,spurzheim had a practically good idea of the region of ,eventuality1 which ,gall first called the memory of things4 ,spurzheim's description is good2 but when the organ is analyzed1 it yields consciousness and observation on the median line1 memory more exterior1 extending to ,time4 ,,perceptive ,,organs--,the most marvellous feature of the old phrenological system1 is the accuracy with which the smallest organs of the brain have been discovered1 located1 and described4 ,the organs of ,form1 ,size1 ,weight1 ,color1 ,order1 and ,number1 or ,calculation1 were so accurately located and described by ,spurzheim1 that little remains to be said about them4 ,gall discovered only ,form1 ,color1 and ,number1 and the latter he located in the position which belongs to ,order4 ,these organs were but little developed in ,gall1 whose great success was due to his philosophic originality and independence4 ,he was not a close observer1 and there was a sternness in his nature which prevented him from accepting readily the suggestions of ,spurzheim1 who with less boldness of character and greater accuracy of perception1 was better fitted for minute observation and anatomical analysis4 ,his own cranium has been preserved1 in which ,i found these perceptive organs distinctly marked by their digital impressions on the superorbital plate over the eye4 ,it is a remarkable fact that the intellectual faculties have been most easily understood and located1 while their antagonists in the occipital region have proved the greatest puzzle in psychic and cerebral investigations4 ,gall failed1 and left a vacant space in the occiput4 ,spurzheim failed1 but covered the ground incorrectly1 and it was many years after ,i discovered cerebral impressibility before ,i attained a satisfactory view of the psychology of this region4 ,the location and definition of ,,locality are substantially correct4 ,the organ of ,,time1 another of ,spurzheim's discoveries1 was very correctly located and defined by him4 ,it lies just above the organ of ,color4 ,,comparative ,,sagacity1 or ,perspicacity1 as ,gall called it1 was a better term than ,comparison1 which was introduced by ,spurzheim4 ,direct perception of truth is its leading character4 ,illustration by comparison belongs to the breadth of the forehead1 to the ,ideal and ,inventive region1 and is the characteristic of poetry4 ,spurzheim's description1 however1 is substantially correct4 ,it qualifies for clear statement1 but not for comprehensive or ingenious reasoning4 ,the portion on the median line has still more penetration1 in consequence of which it perceives the nature and tendencies of everything1 and is enabled to exercise foresight4 ,still farther in on the median line are located the powers which are more intuitive1 and transcending ordinary foresight are entitled to be called prophecy4 ,the ,,causality of ,spurzheim1 or ,metaphysical ,depth of thought of ,gall1 was defined with approximate correctness4 ,the immediate perception of causation lies just above the organ of ,time1 and the special organ of ,reason extends therefrom upwards4 ,if the reflective organs of one side of the forehead are divided into an interior and exterior group by a vertical line from the pupil of the eye1 the interior group would represent a comprehensive understanding possessing sagacity and judgment1 while the exterior would represent profound ingenious thought and originality1 a capacity for discovering truth by reason and meditation1 by analysis and synthesis1 while the interior would discover it only by direct perception4 ,in the exterior group would be included the misnamed organ of ,wit or ,mirthfulness1 which is really a source of philosophy and originality4 ,,tune and ,,constructiveness have really reversed their positions in the maps of ,spurzheim and ,gall4 ,the inventive faculty of musical composers was what ,gall discovered as ,music4 ,the sense of ,melody and ,tune lies behind the brow in connection with the sense of hearing1 at the anterior portion of ,sensibility1 which forty years after my discovery is beginning to be recognized in consequence of the experiments of ,ferrier on animals4 ,the organ of hearing which he demonstrated in the monkey1 occupies the same position in the superior temporal convolution1 behind the eye1 which ,i have given it in man1 which brings it into close connection with the organs of ,language and ,tune4 ,its close connection with the region of impressibility called ,somnolence explains its supreme control over our emotions4 ,the organ of ,,language1 the first discovery of ,gall1 has been the first to receive its demonstration from pathology and vivisection4 ,but the pioneer teacher to whom contemporaries are unjust has to wait very long for an honorable recognition4 ,the existence of an organ of ,language at the junction of the front and middle lobes1 at the back of the eye-sockets1 has become established in our physiology from the developments of disease and autopsies1 without mentioning in connection that it was the discovery of ,gall4 ,perhaps the authors of the text-books may not even know the location of ,gall's discovery in the brain1 and think only of the external sign1 the prominence of the eyes1 produced by the convolution at the back of their orbits4 ,dr4 ,spurzheim simply located the external sign of the prominence of the organ at the eye1 while ,gall recognized the talent for languages as lying further back than that for verbal memory1 and consequently being manifested lower at the eye4 ,nevertheless ,gall made a correct observation1 as he noticed that a full development was indicated when the temples were broad behind the eye4 ,the true location of the organ externally is just behind the outer angle of the eye1 a position central to ,gall's observations1 and corresponding in the brain to that junction of the front and middle lobes in which the organ has been demonstrated by pathology1 though not so accurately defined as in my experiments4 ,perhaps in twenty or thirty years more my demonstrations having been brought before the public may attract the attention of the laborious vivisectors in ,europe1 who have done so much to verify them1 and who will find that their labors do not refute but do confirm what ,i have discovered by methods so much simpler1 easier and more pleasant4 ,in the second volume ,i propose to show in detail how much the pathologists and vivisectors have done to illustrate and corroborate the new ,anthropology4

education hereafter1 when the knowledge now given to small classes will hold a conspicuous place in every college1 and will be presented in every high school4 ,the mountain mass of inertia1 which opposes1 passively1 all fundamental changes1 cannot now resist scientific demonstration as it has in the past4 ,the instruction in the ,college of ,therapeutics1 is thoroughly demonstrative1 leaving no room for doubt1 and it gives a species of knowledge which ought to be a part of every one's education--a knowledge of the constitution of man1 not obtainable to-day in any medical or literary college1 nor in our mammoth libraries4 ,it is not merely as a deep philosophy that this interests us1 but as a guide in the preservation of health1 and in the regulation of spiritual phenomena1 which would1 to a very great extent1 supersede our reliance on the medical profession by giving us the control of the vital powers1 by which we may protect ourselves1 and control the development of the young4 ,each student was made to feel the effects of local treatment on the body1 and the power of rapidly changing disease to health1 and was personally taught to perform the manipulations for this purpose1 and to investigate disease or portray character by the psychometric methods as well as to test the value of medicines4 ,the various uses and scientific application of electricity were shown1 and many things entirely unknown and unrecognized in works on ,electro-,therapeutics4 ,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 colleges4 ,by these and other experiments and numerous illustrations and lucid explanations of the brain and nervous system1 the instruction was made deeply interesting1 and students have attended more than one course to perfect themselves in the science4 ,the following declaration of sentiments shows how the course was regarded by the class3 ,the summer class of #ahhg in the ,college of ,therapeutics1 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 ,prof4 ,j4 ,r4 ,buchanan1 would say to the public that no one can attend such a course of instruction as we have recently been engaged in1 without realizing that ,therapeutic ,sarcognomy greatly enlarges the practical resources of the healing art for the medical practitioner1 magnetizer and electro-therapeutist1 while ,psychometry1 whose positive truths we have tested and proven1 like the sun's rays1 illumines all the dark problems of medical practice and of psycho-physiological sciences4 ,therapeutic ,sarcognomy explains the very intricate and mysterious relations of the soul1 the brain and body1 which prior to ,prof4 ,buchanan's discoveries were unknown to all scientific teachers1 and are even now only known to his students and the readers of his works1 ,we feel that we have been very fortunate in finding so valuable a source of knowledge1 whose future benefits to the human race1 in many ways1 cannot be briefly stated1 and we would assure all who may attend this college1 or read the published works of ,prof4 ,buchanan1 and his monthly1 the ,journal of ,man1 that they will1 when acquainted with the subject1 be ready to unite with us in appreciating and honoring the greatest addition ever made to biological and psychological sciences4 ,hoping that the time is not for distant when all students in medical colleges

surgical operations1 is the greatest triumph of ,therapeutic ,science in the present century4 ,it came first by mesmeric hypnotism1 which was applicable only to a few1 and was restricted by the jealous hostility of the old medical profession4 ,then came the nitrous oxide1 introduced by ,dr4 ,wells1 of ,hartford1 and promptly discountenanced by the enlightened 787 medical profession of ,boston1 and set aside for the next candidate1 ether1 discovered in the ,united ,states also1 but far interior to the nitrous oxide as a safe and pleasant agent4 ,this was largely superseded by chloroform1 discovered much earlier by ,liebig and others1 but introduced as an anaesthetic in #ahdg1 by ,prof4 ,simpson4 ,this proved to be the most powerful and dangerous of all4 ,thus the whole policy of the medical profession was to discourage the safe1 and encourage the more dangerous agents4 ,the magnetic sleep1 the most perfect of all anaesthetic agents1 was expelled from the realm of college authority2 ether was substituted for nitrous oxide1 and chloroform preferred to ether1 until frequent deaths gave warning4 ,nitrous oxide1 much the safest of the three1 has not been the favorite1 but has held its ground1 especially with dentists4 ,but even nitrous oxide is not perfect4 ,it is not equal to the magnetic sleep1 when the latter is practicable1 but fortunately it is applicable to all4 ,to perfect the nitrous oxide1 making it universally safe and pleasant1 ,dr4 ,u4 ,k4 ,mayo1 of ,boston1 has combined it with certain harmless vegetable nervines1 which appear to control the fatal tendency which belongs to all anaesthetics when carried too far4 ,the success of ,dr4 ,mayo1 in perfecting our best anaesthetic1 is amply attested by those who have used it4 ,dr4 ,thorndike1 than whom1 ,boston had no better surgeon1 pronounced it the safest the world has yet seen4 ,it has been administered to children and to patients in extreme debility4 ,drs4 ,frizzell and ,williams1 say they have given it repeatedly in heart disease1 severe lung diseases1 ,bright's disease1 etc41 where the patients were so feeble as to require assistance in walking1 many of them under medical treatment1 and the results have been all that we could ask--no irritation1 suffocation1 nor depression4 ,we heartily commend it to all as the anaesthetic of the age4 ,dr4 ,morrill1 of ,boston1 administered ,mayo's anaesthetic to his wife with delightful results when her lungs were so badly disorganized1 that the administration of ether or gas would be entirely unsafe4 ,the reputation of this anaesthetic is now well established2 in fact1 it is not only safe and harmless1 but has great medical virtue for daily use in many diseases1 and is coming into use for such purposes4 ,in a paper before the ,georgia ,state ,dental ,society1 ,dr4 ,e4 ,parsons testified strongly to its superiority4 ,the nitrous oxide1 7says ,dr4 ,p47 causes the patient when fully under its influence to have very like the appearance of a corpse1 but under this new anaesthetic the patient appears like one in a natural sleep4 ,the language of the press1 generally has been highly commendatory1 and if ,dr4 ,mayo had occupied so conspicuous a rank as ,prof4 ,simpson1 of ,edinburgh1 his new anaesthetic would have been adopted at once in every college of ,america and ,europe4 99 99 99 99 99 ,mayo's ,vegetable
