,,man does not fear to perform its duty 
and use plain language in reference to  
the obstructionists who hinder the      
acceptance of demonstrable sciences and 
prevent all fair investigation1 while   
they occupy positions of influence and  
control in all collegiate institutions4 
,it is not in scorn or bitterness that  
we should speak of this erring class1 a 
large number of whom are the victims of 
mis-education--of the hereditary policy 
of the colleges1 which is almost as     
difficult to change as a national       
church1 or a national despotism4 ,the   
young men who enter the maelstrom of    
college life are generally borne along  
as helpless as rowing boats in a        
whirlpool4 ,it is impossible for even   
the strongest minds to be exposed for   
years1 surrounded by the contaminating  
influence of falsehood1 and come forth  
uninjured4 ,but while we pity the       
victims of medical colleges and         
old-fashioned universities1 let us seek 

for our young friends institutions that 
have imbibed the spirit of the present  
age4  ,man is essentially a spiritual   
being1 and1 even in this life1 he has   
many of the spiritual capacities which  
are to be unfolded in the higher life4  
,moreover1 there are in every refined   
constitution a great number of delicate 
sensibilities1 which no college has ever
 recognized4  ,there has been no        
concealment of these facts4 ,they have  
always been open to observation1--more  
open than the facts of ,geology and     
,chemistry4 ,ever since the earliest    
dawn of civilization in ,egypt1 ,india1 
and ,greece the facts have been         
conspicuous before the world1 and1 in   
ancient times1 have attracted the       
attention of imperial and republican    
governments4 ,and yet1 the literary     
guild1 the incorporated officials of    
education everywhere1 have refused to   
investigate such truths1 and shaped     
their policy in accordance with the     
lowest instincts of mammon1--in         

accordance with the policy of kings1 of 
priests1 of soldiers1 and of plutocrats2
 and this policy has been so firmly     
maintained and transmitted1 that there  
is not1 to-day1 a university anywhere to
 be found that possesses the spirit of  
progress1 or is willing to open either  
its eyes or its ears to the illumination
 of nineteenth-century progress1 and to 
the voice of ,heaven1 which is the still
 small voice of reason4  ,of the earth1 
earthy is the character of our colleges 
to-day as it was in the days when ,prof4
 ,horky and his colleagues refused to   
look through the telescope of ,galileo4 
,is not this utter neglect of           
,psychometry for forty-five years       
7because it has not been forced upon    
their attention7 as great an evidence of
 perpetuated stolidity as was the       
conduct of the ,professors of ,padua    
#bhj years ago in shunning the          
inspection of ,galileo's telescope1 when
 the demonstration has been so often    
repeated that ,psychometry is a far     

greater addition than the telescope to  
the methods of science and promises a   
greater enlargement of science than the 
telescope and microscope combined4  ,of 
the earth1 earthy is a just description 
of institutions which confine their     
investigations and limit their ideas of 
science to that which is physical1 when 
man's life1 enjoyment1 hopes and destiny
 are all above the plane on which they  
dwell and in which they burrow4         
,physical science is indeed a vast      
department of knowledge1 but to limit   
ourselves to that when a far grander    
realm exists1 one really more important 
to human welfare1 is an attempt to      
perpetuate a semi-barbarism1 and the    
time is not very remote in this         
progressive age when the barbarism of   
the #aith century literature and        
education will become a familiar theme4 
,the efforts of intellectual rebels to  
break through the restrictions of       
collegiate despotism have not yet had   
much success1 and my own labors would   

have been fruitless in that respect if  
,i had not been able to combine with    
others in establishing a more liberal   
college1 the ,eclectic ,medical         
,institute of ,cincinnati1 which still  
retains something of the progressive    
spirit of its founders4  ,simultaneously
 with the ,american rebellion against   
,british authority1 ,mesmer in ,france  
made an assault upon that ,chinese wall 
of medical bigotry which ,harvey found  
it so hard to overcome1 but although he 
secured one favorable report from the   
,medical ,academy at ,paris1 he was     
never admitted to an honorable          
recognition4 ,now1 however1 the baffled 
truth has entered the citadel of        
professional authority and the          
correspondent of the ,new ,york ,tribune
 tells the story as follows3   ,,charcot
 ,,avenges ,,mesmer4  ,under this       
heading the ,new ,york ,tribune         
published in ,september the letter of   
its regular correspondent at ,paris1    
which is given below3  ,it shows that in

 the present state of imperfect         
civilization the narrow-minded men who  
generally lead society are perfectly    
able to suppress for a time any         
discovery which does not come from their
 own clique4 ,and when they do yield to 
the force of evidence and accept        
extraordinary new discoveries1 they     
either do it in a blundering and        
perverted manner1 or they try to        
appropriate it as their own and continue
 to rob the pioneer thinker4  ,the      
psychometric experiments of ,drs4       
,bourru and ,burot1 ,dr4 ,luys and      
others have not been conducted in the   
scientific and satisfactory manner in   
which ,i introduced them in #ahda1 but  
in the hysterical and sensational manner
 which is now attracting attention4     
,,letter ,,from ,,paris4      ,mesmer   
has been well avenged by ,charcot1 the  
great professor     who fills the chair 
in the clinical ward of the             
,saltpetriere for     the nervous       
diseases of women4 ,not only1 indeed1   

has this     illustrious physician shown
 that the charlatan whom the elder      
,dumas introduced with such telling     
effect into his novels1 ,la             
,comtesse de ,charny and ,le ,docteur   
,balsamo1 was no mere     charlatan1 but
 a number of ,charcot's disciples have  
proved the     truth of what ,dumas     
seemed to draw from his rich            
imagination4     ,dr4 ,charcot1 who is a
 cautious man1 has publicly admitted    
hypnotic suggestion4 ,he thinks         
extraordinary curative effects1     so  
far as the consciousness of pain goes1  
are to be derived from     hypnotism1   
which is ,mesmerism with a new ,greek   
name4 ,but he     always exhorts laics  
not to dabble in it1 and medical men to 
keep their hypnotic lore to themselves4 
,this is charming after     the way in  
which the profession of which ,charcot  
is really a     bright light treated    
,mesmerism4 ,mesmer was an empiric4 ,but
 he     nevertheless got at the truth4  
,homoeopathy was tabooed because it was 

not orthodox1 by that     ,sanhedrim    
known as the ,faculty of ,medicine4     
,animal magnetism was     long ignored  
on the ground that charlatans had taken 
it up and     that no doctor who had    
self-respect could follow them4         
,mesmerism     was treated with no less 
contempt until a new name was given it1 
and ,charcot declared that there was not
 only something but a     good deal in  
it deserving the attention of           
scientists4      ,dr4 ,luys last        
,tuesday made a communication to the    
,academy of     ,medicine on this       
subject which electrified the members   
present4     ,it was on the action1 both
 at a distance and by direct contact1   
of certain medicated or fermented       
substances on hypnotic     subjects4    
,the latter were all women who could not
 possibly have     got their cue        
beforehand1 and were being observed1    
while ,dr4     ,luys operated1 by a jury
 of scientists above all suspicion of   
having lent themselves to any trickery4 

,alcohol when put to the     nape in a  
tube no larger than a homoeopathist's   
vial and     hermetically sealed        
produced exactly the same effect as if  
imbibed at a bar4 ,absinthe1 haschish1  
opium1 morphine1 beer1     champagne1   
tea and coffee were in succession tried 
with their     characteristic effects4  
,but the cup which cheers but not       
inebriates was found too exciting for   
,french neuropaths4     ,valerian caused
 the deepest sadness4 ,the thoughts of  
the patient     were centred in a grave4
 ,she was impelled irresistibly to stoop
     down and scratch the ground1 and   
thought herself in a cemetery           
exhuming a deceased relative whom she   
loved4 ,under the illusion     she      
fancied herself picking up bones        
belonging to his skeleton1     which she
 handled with tender reverence1 and when
 there was an     imaginary mound of    
them formed she placed1 with deep-drawn 
sighs     and tears and genuflections1 a
 cross above them4 ,under the           

influence of haschish everything looked 
rosy and gayety     prevailed4 ,the     
subject was a young girl1 very fond of  
the drama4     ,she fancied herself on  
the stage and playing a part which      
suited     her to perfection4 ,it was in
 a bouffe opera and she sang her        
score admirably4 ,the sentiments were   
expressed with delicate     feeling4    
,dr4 ,luys can1 according to the        
substances he uses1 run     through the 
whole gamut of human passions and       
emotions4      ,what is most strange is 
that no trace of the fictitious world in
     which the hypnotized subject has   
been wandering1 remains when     real   
consciousness is restored4 ,it is very  
rare for even the     idea of having    
been in dreamland to survive the        
awakening from     the hypnotic trance4 
,dr4 ,luys says that hypnotic suggestion
     sometimes has periods of incubation
 more or less long4 ,the     subject is 
at first gently drawn to do a certain   
thing or     things1 and then the       

drawing becomes an irresistible impulse4
     ,they are first as if tempted and  
then as if possessed4 ,they can     no  
more help themselves than a man who had 
got to the verge of     ,niagara ,falls 
in a boat could help going over4        
,dr4 ,roger moved that the ,academy name
 a ,commission to inquire     into      
hypnotic suggestion1 near and at a      
distance4 ,dr4 ,bronardel     supported 
him4 ,he said1 ,all that ,dr4 ,luys has 
alleged and shown     cannot fail to    
make a noise throughout the world4      
,nobody save     ,,mm4 ,burot and       
,bourru have gone so far as ,dr4 ,luys4 
,he not only     forces on the attention
 of the ,academy the question of        
hypnotism1 but of persons being affected
 by poisonous substances     which do   
not penetrate1 or it may be even touch1 
their bodies4     ,this is from a legal 
point of view a great danger4 ,a great  
social responsibility is involved in the
 matter4 ,it is the duty     of the     
,academy to have the experiments of ,dr4

 ,luys repeated1     with others that   
bear upon them4      ,hypnotism1 or     
animal magnetism1 has been a little more
 than a     hundred years despised and  
rejected by the doctors4 ,it was        
discovered by a ,viennese1 ,mesmer1 who 
belonged to that curious     branch of  
the ,freemasons1 the ,illuminati4 ,when 
he told ,stoerck1     the head of the   
,faculty of ,medicine at ,vienna1 of his
 discovery1     that learned owl begged 
him not to discredit that body by       
talking of anything so absurd4 ,he      
persisted4 ,sarcasm and then            
persecution obliged him to go abroad1   
and he came to ,paris in     #aggh4 ,the
 world of fashion and the court went    
crazy about him4     ,he then set up in 
the ,palais ,royal1 where1 it must be   
said1 in a     way that was worthy of a 
charlatan1 he worked his discovery4 ,m4 
,le ,roy1 of the ,academy of ,medicine1 
thought him on the scent of     a great 
truth4 ,but the other doctors were of   
the bats' eyes     sort1 and hunted     

,mesmer down4 ,he went to stay at       
,creteil1 where     he applied his      
method and made his famous magnetic     
pail1 which     interested ,m4 d',eslon1
 head doctor to the ,comte              
d',artois--later     ,charles ,x4 ,he   
wrote about the magnetic pail4 ,the     
,academy of     ,medicine warned him to 
be more cautious in speaking of quack   
inventions1 and threatened to expel him 
from membership if he     did not       
retract what he had written4 ,that body 
even made a new     rule to this effect3
 ,no doctor declaring himself in favor  
of     animal magnetism1 either in      
theory or practice1 can be a member     
of this society4      ,mesmer1 hearing  
the police had their eye on him1 went to
 ,spa4     ,but the ladies took his part
 with such ardor that the king named    
a commission to inquire into his        
discovery4 ,its members1 too1     were  
owls4 ,they reported that the magnetic  
fluid of which     ,mesmer speaks does  
not exist4 ,jussieu stood out against   

the     owls and he only4 ,he said3 ,all
 your efforts will not prevent     this 
truth from making its way4 ,they can    
only prevent this     generation from   
profiting by it4      ,i should add that
 the influence gained by the hypnotic   
operator     remains after the subject  
awakes from the trance4 ,its action     
then reminds one of the characters in   
the legends of olden times     who sold 
their souls to ,satan4 ,the ,emperor of 
,brazil is very     anxious to study    
hypnotism1 or1 at least1 to dip into it 
when he     comes back to ,paris4  ,the 
reader will observe in the foregoing    
letter and in all medical literature    
,mesmer is spoken of as a charlatan and 
empiric4 ,charlatan is an opprobrious   
term1 but empiric literally means one   
who follows experience instead of dogma1
 and should therefore be an honorable   
designation2 but as the medical         
profession has always been dogmatic1 and
 therefore hostile to empiricism1 or    
fidelity to experience1 it has made     

empiricism an opprobrious term4 ,dr4    
,mesmer was neither an ignoramus nor a  
quack1 but a graduated physician1       
although his title is generally omitted4
 ,he had more enthusiasm than           
philosophy1 but he was far in advance of
 his contemporaries1 who had neither1   
and deserves to be honorably remembered4
     ,,old ,,industrial ,,education4    
,the greatest triumph in the profession 
of education ever achieved by man was   
that of ,,ezekiel ,,rich1 of ,new       
,hampshire1 born in #aghd1 whose        
successful experiments at ,troy1 ,new   
,hampshire1 were fully reported in #ahch
 to the ,american ,institute of         
,instruction1 and were described in the 
last edition of the ,new ,education4    
,mr4 ,rich demonstrated that a solid    
scientific1 literary1 moral1 and        
industrial education1 qualifying boys   
and girls for a successful business     
life1 and greatly superior to the       
education now given1 might be imparted  
to youth while they were also           

sufficiently occupied in the industrial 
way to pay all their expenses4  ,this is
 incomparably beyond anything that even 
the most famous teachers have ever done1
 for it brings the gospel of industrial 
salvation to all struggling laborers who
 dwell in poverty--not immediate        
salvation for themselves1 but salvation 
for their class1 by making education    
free for all1 and giving to the children
 of the poorest laborer the opportunity 
of a career in which independence is    
sure1 and wealth a possibility4  ,the   
profession of teaching1 like all other  
professions1 runs in its fixed grooves  
or1 as popularly expressed1 its ruts1   
and it will be long ere the noble       
example of ,,rich will inspire a spirit 
of imitation4 ,his exposition of his    
method lay almost half a century        
unnoticed1 until ,i brought it before   
the ,national ,educational ,association4
  ,upon the subject of ,industrial      
,training1 ,mr4 ,geo4 ,p4 ,morris has   
resurrected an old treatise1 published  

by ,thomas ,budd1 in #afhe1 describing  
,east and ,west ,jersey1 in which he    
lays down a system of practical         
education which he wished to see adopted
 in ,pennsylvania and ,new ,jersey4  ,he
 wishes a thousand acres of land given  
to maintain each school1 free for the   
poor1 the rich1 and the ,indians--the   
children being maintained free of       
expense to parents from the profits of  
the school arising by the work of the   
scholars4 ,they are to be occupied in   
learning to read and write true         
,english1 ,latine and other useful      
speeches and languages1 and fair

 the other two hours at work at their   
several     imployments4  ,budd quotes  
from a book by ,andrew ,yarenton an     
account of the spinning-schools in      
,germany1 as follows3 ,in all towns     
there are schools for little girls1 from
 six years old and upwards1 to teach    
them to spin1 and to bring their tender 
fingers by degrees to spin very fine2   
their wheels go all by the foot1 made to

 go with much ease1 whereby the action  
or motion is very easie and delightful4 
,the way1 method1 rule1 and order how   
they are governed is1 #ast4 ,there is a 
large room1 and in the middle thereof a 
little box like a pulpit4 #bndly1 ,there
 are benches built around about the     
room1 as they are in playhouses2 upon   
the benches sit about two hundred       
children spinning1 and in the box in the
 middle of the room sits the grand      
mistress1 with a long white wand in her 
hand1 with which she designates the idle
 for punishment4      ,they raise their 
children as they spin finer to the      
higher     benches4 #b;d4 ,they sort and
 size all the threds1 so that they can  
apply them to make equal cloths2 and    
after a young maid has been     three   
years in the spinning-school1 that is   
taken in at six1 and     then continues 
until nine years1 she will get eight    
pence the     day1 and1 in these parts  
,i speak of1 a man that has most        
children lives best4  ,eight pence a day

 at that time was good wages for an     
artisan4  ,thos4 ,budd was more than two
 hundred years ahead of the teachers of 
,america1 for they are just beginning to
 introduce ,industrial ,education1 and  
they have not reached up to this idea of
 making the work of pupils pay their    
expenses1 which ,budd proposed1 and     
which ,rich realized4  ,in ,yarenton's  
account of the spinning-schools1 the    
reader will observe that the children   
are occupied solely in spinning1 their  
minds being left without culture4 ,how  
easy would it have been for the grand   
mistress1 instead of merely watching    
their work1 to have been instructing    
them orally in any species of knowledge1
 or leading them in singing1 which would
 have made their time pass delightfully1
 and cultivated all the finer sentiments
 of the soul4  ,,rich has the honor of  
proving that this could be done1 and    
that there was no fatigue1 but continual
 pleasure all day long when the monotony
 of work was relieved by instruction1   

and the instruction that would have been
 monotonous by itself was made pleasant 
by being intermingled with hand work4   
,man cannot be well trained or developed
 in fragments4 ,head1 hand1 and soul    
must all co-operate1 and then each      
strengthens the other4 ,when shall we

calamity1 and a gentleman1 who speaks of
 ,england as the most doctor-ridden     
nation under heaven1 refers to more than
 a hundred cures effected by this       
remarkable man among his acquaintances  
after they had failed to derive any     
benefit from the regular practitioners1 
who were the most eminent in their      
profession4 ,years ago1 ,george ,moore1 
a distinguished philanthropist and      
millionaire of ,london1 testified that  
,hutton treated him in the case of a    

displacement of a bone1 which had       
baffled the skill of the most famous    
surgeons in the country for three years1
 and effected a complete cure in one    
minute4 ,hunters1 cricket players1      
rowing men1 and athletes in all parts of
 ,great ,britain consulted ,hutton when 
they met with accidents4 ,a sporting    
paper1 in a notice of his career1 says3 
,he gradually broke down the wall of    
prejudice which had been     built up   
against bone-setters by the medical     
faculty on the     ground that they were
 merely quacks4 ,his cures in cases of  
displacements and sprains which had     
puzzled the most expert     surgeons1   
were so brilliant and undisputed that he
 was     frequently consulted by those  
who had previously reviled him4     ,his
 house in ,queen ,anne ,street was      
thronged day after day by     persons1  
who in some instances had come hundreds 
of miles to     avail themselves of his 
skill4  ,robert ,howard ,hutton was born
 in ,westmoreland county1 ,england1     

forty-seven years ago4 ,he belonged to a
 family of natural bone-setters1 the    
most famous of whom was his uncle1 who  
taught him all the mysteries of his     
craft4 ,he practised surgery in         
,westmoreland and adjacent counties for 
several years1 where he acquired such a 
reputation that he was induced to move  
to ,london4 ,he appears to have made the
 change more from philanthropic than    
from monetary considerations4 ,he loved 
the country and was very fond of        
hunting4 ,once in ,london and within    
reach by railroad of every portion of   
,great ,britain1 his patronage became so
 extensive that he had no time to       
gratify his inclination in regard to    
sports4  ,men of the class to which ,mr4
 ,hutton belonged1 were once quite      
common in this country4 ,men conducting 
large lumbering operations in ,maine    
generally arranged to take a natural    
bone-setter into the woods every winter4
 ,the masters of whaling vessels        
endeavored to have one among their      

crews4 ,the faith of ignorant people in 
natural bone-setters is profound4  ,they
 believe that they are possessed of     
inherent knowledge and skill4 ,some     
think that they are possessed of a      
natural gift1 and others that they have 
acquired secrets that never become known
 to the members of the medical          
profession4 ,the circumstance that they 
effect a cure in persons who had        
suffered much from many physicians1     
though they never read a medical book1  
never attended college1 never witnessed 
a clinic1 and never received instruction
 from a preceptor1 elevates them in the 
minds of the people far above the       
directors of hospitals4  ,it is fair to 
presume that men like ,mr4 ,hutton are  
possessed of great skill and also of    
great knowledge4 ,they may not know the 
scientific name of any bone1 ligament1  
or muscle in the human body1 but they   
may know the location and function of   
every one of them4 ,instead of being    
derided as quacks1 they should be       

classed as hereditary specialists4 ,it  
is admitted that bees1 ants1 dogs and   
horses inherit knowledge and skill1 and 
it is certainly fair to presume that    
human beings do the same4 ,no person    
will be likely to practice surgery      
without having had a course of training1
 unless he has great confidence in      
himself1 and self-confidence makes one  
resolute4 ,mr4 ,hutton1 it is said1     
never administered an ansthetic and     
never employed an assistant4 ,he was    
very strong1 quick1 and active4 ,he     
jerked a bone into place in an instant1 
while he was telling a story1 and before
 the sufferer knew what was about to    
happen4 ,he had a most extensive        
practice1 and practice makes perfect4   
,it is likely that he put more          
dislocated bones in place than any ten  
regular practitioners in his country4   
,he was an observant man1 with          
remarkable keenness of sight and        
delicacy of touch4 ,his great success   
caused him to undertake risks that many 

surgeons would shrink from4 ,his success
 as well as that of others of his class1
 may be accounted for on scientific     
principles4 ,it remains to be seen what 
medical journals will say of him4 ,it is
 certain that the secular press regarded
 him as a most extraordinary man1 and   
regret that the family of natural       
bone-setters died out with              
him4--,chicago ,times4  ,it is for the  
suppression1 imprisonment or banishment 
of such men as ,hutton and the ,american
 bone-setter1 ,sweet1 that ,american    
legislatures are besieged by medical    
monopolists4 ,it is not long since that 
the gifted ,italian woman1 ,rosa del    
,cin1 was driven back to ,italy by      
medical hostility in ,new ,york4 ,no

,payn in the ,independent1 has for a    
long time1 as regards the upper classes1

 been in the hands of impostors and     
coxcombs4 ,scotch schools for ten pounds
 a year have for generations turned out 
better educated men than in our public  
schools for two hundred pounds1 and of  
late the school boards have shown how   
efficiency can be combined with low     
prices4 ,this last development has put  
the great educational establishments    
upon their mettle1 and induced them to  
consider whether a smattering of ,greek 
obtained in twenty years1 and forgotten 
in the twenty-first1 is1 after all1 the 
highest form of intellectual culture4   
,the head-masters of ,harrow1           
,winchester and ,marlbro' have come at  
last to the sage conclusion that twelve 
years of age is quite early enough to   
begin ,greek1 and that for a good many  
boys that tongue is a superfluity4 ,the 
simple truth is that not one boy in ten 
understands ,greek4 ,unhappily this act 
of tardy justice 7and mercy7 can have no
 retrospective effect4 ,think of the    
generations of unhappy children who have

 been tortured by that infernal         
language1 and of the imprisonment in    
summer days of which it has been the    
cause4 ,who can give us back our lost   
time and liberties infringed8 ,i don't  
wish to revive ancient customs of a     
vindictive nature1 but ,i should like to
 see the ,greek grammar burnt by the    
common hangman in every school yard4    
,payn's indignant language might be     
reinforced by quoting ,de ,quincey's    
description of the second ,lord         
,shaftesbury1 a man whose intellect was 
developed by classical studies alone1   
and who was practised daily in talking  
in ,latin until he became the most      
absolute and undistinguishing pedant    
that perhaps literature has to show4 ,no
 thought1 however beautiful1 no image1  
however magnificent1 could conciliate   
his praise as long as it was clothed in 
,english1 but present him with the most 
trivial commonplaces in ,greek1 and he  
unaffectedly fancied them divine4 ,hence
 he ridiculed ,milton1 ,dryden1 ,locke1 

and ,shakespeare4 ,how much time and    
money have been spent in colleges to    
produce this pedantic perversion of the 
mind1 to create that love of the        
ignorance of antiquity and indifference

,each member binds herself upon entering
 to learn some one thing1 whether art1  
profession or trade1 so thoroughly1 that
 if misfortune comes she will be able to
 maintain herself by its exercise4 ,it  
is the beginning of a realization by    
women themselves1 that for any work that
 demands wages1 there must be1 not a    
superficial knowledge which is sure to  
fail when the test is applied1 but a    
training that will give the mastery of  

all the faculties1 and enable the worker

 ,,sunday-,,school ,,books4--,an        
,eastern correspondent of the ,st4      
,louis ,globe has been talking with a   
,sunday-school superintendent about the 
bad books in the ,sunday-school library1
 as follows3      ,but that isn't all or
 the worst of it1 continued the         
superintendent4 ,not long ago one of the
 teachers came to me and     said her   
faith in orthodoxy had been very much   
shaken1 and she     did not know that   
she could conscientiously remain longer 
in the     school4 ,several of her class
 were also losing their confidence      
in the old creed4 ,she said this result 
had been reached by     reading one of  
the books in the ,sunday-school library4
 ,it was     ',bluffton1' and was the   
account of how a young ,presbyterian    
minister had gradually been converted to
 rationalism1 and had     finally taken 
his congregation with him over to       
liberalism4 ,i     hunted up the work   

and read it4 ,the author is ,rev4 ,minot
 ,j4     ,savage1 the prominent and     
eloquent ,boston ,unitarian clergyman4  
,the book is a remarkable one1 and even 
made me feel     uncomfortable1 as      
hide-bound in ,calvinism as ,i supposed 
,i was4     ,investigation showed that a
 score of our older scholars and        
several of the teachers had been very   
much impressed by the     story1 and had
 been talking the subject over4 ,the    
book is all     the more effective      
because it is a faithful portrayal1 so  
,i     understand1 of ,mr4 ,savage's    
experience4 ,how the book got into      
our library ,i don't know1 but ,i       
suppose the selections were made     by 
some clerk in the publishing house of   
whom we purchased4 ,he     saw the book 
was by a minister1 and naturally        
presumed it was     eminently fit4      
,right in our own city ,i have learned  
that     ',bluffton' is in half a dozen 
libraries1 and is doing deadly     work 
to orthodoxy4 ,of course this sort of   

thing must stop4   ,,our ,,barbarous

made to introduce the ,english language

 that the irregularities of ,english

objection4 ,the best illustration of its
 barbarism is to attempt to carry it out
 uniformly1    ,for spelling is easy1   
although   ,we may not always knough

which the price of #a for a reserved

 reserved seats would exceed belief on  
the part of those who have not been in  
them4 ,and yet the management who deal  
in this manner with a long forbearing   
public find it not an unusual event to  
make #cjjj clear profit from a single

one-half of all the acts being passed on

the charge of obscenity in such cases   
expresses a quality which belongs

foul minds in which such ideas rise4

 dealer was arrested for exhibiting     
immoral pictures in his window4 ,mr4

masterpieces of the ,paris ,salon of

 familiar to all art critics4 ,as ,judge
 ,gould looked about     him and saw    
these pictures he thought it unnecessary
 to take     testimony1 but descending  
from his desk he made a pilgrimage of   
the room1 carefully inspecting each     
picture4 ,he exhibited much             
appreciation1 and after examining the   
last one1 he complimented     the taste 
of the art dealer and dismissed the

prurient prudery of the vulgar mind was 
once strongly exhibited in ,baltimore4  
,the millionaire ,winans had imported   
from abroad quite a number of classical 
statues1 which he erected in the        
beautiful grounds around his palatial   
residence4 ,the ignorant vulgarity of   
the neighborhood made such a clamor     
against his statuary as to excite his   
indignation and contempt4 ,he built a   

wall about his grounds fifteen feet     
high1 to exclude the vulgar gaze4 ,the  
,city ,council being thoroughly ashamed 
of the circumstances as a discredit to

this manner4 ,this discovery seems to   
have been forgotten4   ,,the ,,water    
,,question4--,it may naturally be asked1
 ,if ,brooklyn has been so successfully 
supplied with water from driven wells1  
why has not ,new ,york adopted the same 
system8 ,in answer to this it must be   
remembered that the drive-well is a new 

invention1 and1 before its application  
to ,brooklyn1 had only been used on a   
small scale4 ,to this day no one can    
give satisfactory reasons why the water 
flows continuously from the earth       
through the pipe of a driven-well4      
,hence1 to the public generally1 this   
mode of obtaining water was new and     
little understood4 ,at the time of its  
introduction to ,brooklyn a water-famine
 was threatened4 ,all the ordinary      
sources of supply had been exhausted by 
the ever-increasing population1 and the 
authorities were puzzled what to do4 ,in
 this extremity ,andrews  ,bro41 a firm 
which had much experience in working    
drive-wells1 offered at their own       
expense1 to put down wells and supply   
the town with water4 ,had ,andrews  ,co4
 merely proposed to put down the wells  
and the town to pay the bill and run the
 risk of failure1 the proposition would 
not have been entertained4 ,fortunately1
 ,andrews  ,co4 offered to take the     
expense and risk of failure on their own

,commissioner ,ropes1 accepted the      
contract4  ,engineers and scientists1 at
 the time1 scouted the idea and raised  
all sorts of objections4 ,the summer it 
was completed there was a five-months   
drought1 with less than #b-a_/b inches  
of rain4 ,this1 however1 did not affect 
the drive wells1 and at the request of  
the town authorities1 they increased the
 speed of their pumping engines1 and    
supplied all demands1 even beyond their 
contract4 ,and there the wells still    
remain1 a standing example1 a pharos to 
enlighten the world4  ,in the meantime1 
the neighboring city of ,new ,york1     
across the river1 was alarmed for fear  
their ,croton water should give out4    
,plans had been laid down and estimates 
made for enlarging their supply by      
bringing the whole ,croton river to ,new
 ,york and building a new aqueduct4     

,this involved an expenditure of fifty  
or sixty million dollars1 and such a    
chance was not to be lightly given up by
 those who expected to be enriched by   
the job4 ,to put down auxiliary driven  
wells would have required not           
one-twentieth the expense1 and they     
would have furnished the town with water
 for all time1 and moreover might have  
been put down within the city

 country in ,,the ,,new ,,education4 ,it
 will be half a century before our      
systems of education will be organized  
for the elevation of society4           
,heretofore1 our systems have had a     
positively demoralizing effect by       
inculcating a love of military glory1 a 
love of ostentatious pedantry1 a        
stubborn adherence to old opinions1 and 
a scorn of useful industry4 ,the gradual
 establishment of industrial schools1   
however1 is the most hopeful sign in our
 educational system1 and the            
establishment of ethical education will 
be the last and most glorious change4   
,but that is a task for the next century
 which will understand how to save and  
reform criminals4 ,the thought is       
already entertained1 and the new        
,princeton ,review says1 that in coming 
time the world will look back with      
amazement upon the days when it let     

known1 determined criminals run at      
large1 only punishing them occasionally1
 by a temporary deprivation of their    
liberty in short and determinate        
sentences4 ,we can see to-day that it is
 a thoroughly illogical proceeding4 ,the
 man determined upon a life of crime is 
of no use to himself at large1 and he is
 both a danger and expense in his       
community4 ,he commonly gives evidence  
in his character and his acts of this   
determination--evidence sufficient for  
the court which tries and sentences him2
 but if that is too uncertain1 then     
conviction for a second offence may be  
legally taken to define his position4   
,after the second offence the criminal  
should be shut up1 on an indeterminate  
sentence1 where he will be compelled to 
labor to pay for his board and clothes  
and the expense of his safe-keeping4    
,,african ,,population4  ,we have       
another disturbing element in the negro 
population1 a large portion of which is 
unfitted for a republican government by 

ignorance and social debasement1 but    
fortunately free from the violence and  
turbulence of the lower class of        
immigrants4 ,this degradation is fast   
being removed by education and the      
ambition inspired by freedom4 ,the      
latter is shown by the formation of the 
,afro-,american ,league for the         
protection of the blacks1 especially in 
the ,southern ,states1 and the          
advancement of their interests and      
influence4 ,this idea originated with   
,mr4 ,fortune1 the editor of the ,new   
,york ,freeman4  ,few are aware of the  
progress of negro education4 ,we have   
already #af1jjj colored teachers4 ,in   
the ,southern ,states alone there are   
said to be #a1jjj1jjj of pupils1--in the
 male and female high schools1 #ae1jjj4 
,there are sixty normal schools1 fifty  
colleges and universities1 twenty-five  
theological seminaries1 and in the

colored population pays taxes on from   
#aej to #bjj millions of dollars4  ,the 

black race will be free from slavery at 
the close of this century4 ,the         
,brazilian ,parliament passed a law for 
gradual emancipation in #ahga1 when     
there were about #b1jjj1jjj slaves4 ,in 
#ahhe1 the number was reduced to        
#a1bjj1jjj1 and measures have been      
introduced to hasten the completion of  
emancipation4  ,in ,cuba1 slavery seems 
to be at an end4 ,the queen regent of   
,spain has signed a decree freeing the  
,cuban slaves1 some #cjj1jjj1 from the  
remainder of their term of servitude4   
,the work1 thus consummated1 began in   
#ahfi1 which provided for the           
conditional emancipation of certain     
classes of slaves in ,cuba1 and for the 
payment of recompense to the owners of  
the men and women liberated4 ,from the  
first1 slave-owners have been paid for  
their slaves4   ,,foreign ,,progress4   
,when we look abroad the most           
encouraging progress is in the race to  
which this republic owes its origin4 ,in
 spite of the cruel oppression in       

,ireland1 ,great ,britain has been      
prospering in the last twelve years4    
,mr4 ,mulhall1 the able statistician1   
has shown in the contemporary ,review   
that in the ,united ,kingdom1 since     
#ahge1 the population has increased     
twelve per cent41 the wealth twenty-two 
per cent41 trade twenty-nine per cent41 
shipping sixty-seven per cent41 and     
instruction sixty-eight per cent4 ,hence
 there is a marked increase of knowledge
 and wealth4 ,during this period the    
natural increase of population has been 
#abjj daily and the immigration to the  
,united ,states and ,colonies has       
averaged #fjj daily4 ,in addition to the
 national increase1 there has been an   
immigration of #a1cag1jjj1 consisting of
 foreign settlers and returned          
colonists4 ,two-thirds of the emigration
 went to the ,united ,states4  ,this    
healthy increase of population contrasts
 favorably with the condition in        
,france4 ,england had in #ahhc a surplus
 of births over deaths of #cfg1jjj in a 

population less than #bg1jjj1jjj4 ,in   
,france the surplus of births in #ahha  
was but #ajh1bbi1 in #ahhd but #gi1jjj1 
and in #ahhe1 #he1dfd4 ,the excessive   
militarism cultivated in ,france is     
adverse to national growth1 and justly  
so2 while the peaceful condition of     
,america insures great national         
growth--a beneficent law4 ,no nation has
 ever grown with the rapidity of ours1  
but our rate of growth has greatly      
diminished during the present century4  
,dr4 ,fonce's statistics show that twice
 as many children were born in          
proportion to population at the         
beginning of the century1 as have been  
born since #ahej4 ,what is the reason8  
,,progress ,,in ,,france4  ,france has  
taken a very important step in          
emancipating education from the power of
 the church--completely secularizing    
education4 ,under the present law       
religious associations are no longer    
allowed1 as such1 to give instruction in
 public schools1 and all schools taught 

by priests are to be superseded by      
public schools4 ,the ,ultramontanes are 
bitterly hostile to this law1 and call  
it religious oppression1 but it is      
firmly maintained4 ,the ,minister of    
,instruction says that in public        
instruction there cannot be two         
authorities1 church and state1 with     
equal sovereignty4 ,there is but one    
sovereignty1 that of the ,state4        
,clerical studies do not now attract    
young men as formerly1 either in        
,america or ,france4 ,the ,university of
 ,paris last year had #aa1jjj alumni1   
but only thirty-five theological        
students4 #c1ghf studied for the legal  
profession1 #c1fif for the medical1     
#a1gfg attended to pharmacy1 #ibh to

 #afg female students1 #ajh of them     
preparing for medicine1 fifty-one in    
literary studies1 seven in science and  
one preparing as a lawyer4  ,when       
,france shall be sufficiently civilized 
to abolish duels and dismiss her        

standing army1 she may have an          
opportunity of reaching the front rank  
in civilization and progress4 ,even at  
present ,france has many elements of the
 highest civilization in courtesy and   
refinement of manners1 artistic skill1  
scientific progress and advancing       
wealth4 ,the ,french might give some    
valuable lessons to ,americans1         
especially in journalism4 ,mrs4 ,j4 ,c4 
,croly 7,jennie ,june7 in her recent    
address to the ,women's ,press          
,association in ,boston1 gave a pungent 
criticism on ,american journalism which1
 in justice it must be said1 is not     
applicable to the press generally1      
although the immense space given to     
baseball1 pugilism1 races1 and all      
species of crime1 by our leading        
journals1 is disgraceful4 ,if the tail  
were large enough1 said ,dundreary1 the 
tail would waggle the dog6 certainly the
 tail end of society wags its journals4 
,mrs4 ,croly said3--      ,what the     
newspaper seems to be principally valued

 for1 just     now1 is for doing        
individual gossiping1 scolding and      
backbiting     on a large scale1 and in 
a way that relieves the individual from 
responsibility4 ,the old women of the   
past have been royally     revenged for 
all the sneers and slights put upon     
their     spectacled talks1 and tea     
parties2 for back-door tittle-tattle    
of the meanest1 most reckless sort1 has 
been made a business1     has become the
 staple of some journals4 ,that people  
read such     stuff does not seem to me 
reason enough for printing it4 ,shall   
we not have a daily paper some time1    
that is at once bright1     clear1 pure1
 honest and strong2 one that works      
upward1 instead     of downward2 that   
has its hold upon the best things1 and  
inspires us with new faith in them1 and 
in their power to work     out race     
redemption4  ,such criticisms do not    
apply to the ,parisian press1 which     
employs and pays liberally the ablest   
writers4  ,the ,french have at last     

begun the publication of cheap          
literature for the people4 ,a firm in   
,paris have begun the issue of what is  
termed the ,nouvelle ,bibliotheque      
,populaire 7the ,new ,popular ,library71
 at ten centimes1 or two cents1 an      
issue1 this to be a collection of the   
most remarkable works of all literature1
 histories voyages1 romances1 plays1    
religious and philosophical treatises1  
and poetry1 etc4 ,each volume is to be  
complete1 and is to have thirty-two     
pages1 printed in clear text1 the       
equivalent in its entirety to one       
hundred pages of an ordinary ,french    
book4 ,these volumes are to be published
 one each week1 at a subscription price 
of seven francs1 or a little less than  
#a4dj per year4  ,they propose to give a
 rsum of those parts of secondary       
interest1 and to publish in their       
entirety those salient passages which   
cannot be ignored1 the works thus       
presented having the appearance and the 
interest of the originals4 ,the reader  

who cannot spare the time to carefully  
read the original may thus in a few     
hours acquire a fair idea of its purpose
 and value4 ,the second class will be a 
large number of works that are now out  
of print1 or which can only be procured 
at a very high price4 ,the third1 and   
perhaps more popular class1 will be the 
works of authors of all ages1 of all    
countries1 and of all schools1 such as  
,shakespeare1 ,corneille1 ,pascal1      
,chateaubriand1 ,sophocles1 ,racine1

 have already been published4  ,in this

deal of forgiveness in his nature2 he   
forgives     wrongs2 he has no cruelty4 
,he is not as selfish as men of his     
rank generally are4 ,he is more with the
 people1 less     aristocratic and

nationality--,servia and ,austria come  
into my mind4 ,there is a     great     
empire about him4 ,there seems to be    
some dissatisfaction     in the country1
 some apprehension of invasion and      
disturbance4     ,there's a good deal of
 trepidation4 ,they do not want to go to

there4 ,they are uneasy and             
suspicious of other nations4 ,he is not

,one or two days a week his ,majesty

 himself face to face with the

closes and the petitioner     may say to
 the ,emperor what he likes4      ,there
 is no chamberlain or secretary to      
intimidate him4 ,the     ,emperor stands
 in a plainly furnished study1 in       
undress uniform1     without a star or  
grand cordon1 and greets everybody with 
an     engaging smile and a good-natured
 gesture of the hand which     seems to 
say3 ',there is no ceremony here4 ,tell 
me your business1     and if ,i can help

that     the humblest of his subjects   
receives from him at departing the      
same bow as he vouchsafes to

in him is that whenever he sees anybody 
nervous at his presence     he makes the
 audience last until1 by his kind       
endeavors1 the     nervousness has been 
completely dispelled4  ,there is nothing
 like this elsewhere in royal courts1   

nor anything like their religious       
observances1 which will probably        
astonish my readers4 ,the following     
statement appears to be authentic1 and  
was given in the ,sun3      ,on ,holy   
,thursday the ,emperor and ,empress of

whole court1 of the ,privy ,council1 the
     ,diplomatic ,corps1 and the        
superior officers of the ,vienna        
garrison1 washed the feet of twenty-four
 poor old men and women1     having     
previously served these venerable       
paupers with a     plentiful meal1      
placing the several dishes before them  
with     their own hands4 ,after the old
 people had partaken of the good        
things provided for them by the imperial
 bounty1 the tables were     cleared by 
imperial archdukes and ladies of honor4 
,subsequently     a purse containing    
thirty pieces of silver was presented by
 the     ,emperor to each of the old    
men1 and by the ,empress to each of     
the venerable dames1 one of whom had all

 but attained her     hundredth year1   
while the youngest of the twelve was a  
hearty     octogenarian4      ,this     
religious rite is rarely seen in this   
country4 ,it was     celebrated on the  
twenty-first of ,august by the          
,primitive     ,baptists of ,hillsville1
 ,va41 a mountainous region of ,south   
,west     ,va4 ,there were about #hjj   
present1 some coming from hundreds of   
miles4 ,the preliminary exercises were  
singing and exhortation     or          
discussion1 the speaker first announcing
 some point of     doctrine or religious
 thought4 ,the hymns were lined by      
reading     one line only at a time4    
,the arrangements for administering the 
ordinances were circles of seats1 those 
allotted to the sisters     being in a  
double row and facing the brothers1 who 
were seated     in a single row4 ,within
 the circle was another seat for the    
ordained and officiating elders4 ,there 
was a table with bread     and wine1 and
 under it were buckets of water1 basins1

 and     towels4 ,the bread and wine    
were first passed around by the         
officers of the church1 after which came
 the feet-washing4 ,the     elder who   
began the ceremony drew off his coat and
 vest1 and     girded a towel around his
 waist4 ,he then began on the right1    
washing and wiping the feet of the      
brother at the head of the     line1 who
 in turn arose and remaining barefooted1
 performed the     office to the one    
next him1 and so on until the feet of   
all had     been washed4 ,the elder who 
was the first to perform the rite was   
the last to receive it4 ,the sisters    
performed the rite in the     same      
manner as did the brothers4 ,at the     
conclusion the elders1     while        
singing1 passed around and shook the    
hands of all the     brothers and       
sisters4  ,king ,humbert1 of ,italy1 and

popular by their unassuming manners and 
sympathy with the people4  ,king        
,humbert objects to taking his pleasures

 at shows and exhibitions as a solitary2
 he likes his people to be present and  
share them with him4 ,at the opening of 
the exhibition at ,venice the king gave 
expression to his disappointment at the 
loneliness and emptiness of the halls4  
,an official told him that the public   
had been kept out from loyal            
consideration for the comfort of himself
 and the queen4 ,i am sorry for this1   
said his majesty1 though you have done  
it in good part2 it is my belief that   
the king belongs to the people as well  
as the people to the king4 ,before      
leaving the exhibition he recurred to   
the subject1 again expressing his deep  
regret4 ,i hope that none of you        
believe1 said he1 that ,i am the sort of
 man who is shy of being seen among the 
people4 ,i have no grounds whatever for 
such a feeling4  ,king ,humbert1        
according to an ,american ,register     
correspondent1 is known for his         
temperance in all things except that of 
smoking4 ,it has often been noticed what

 an exceedingly small eater the ,king   
had shown himself on all occasions1 and 
as to drink1 his guests may have it in  
plenty1 but his favorite tipple is      
water4 ,his one great weakness was 7for 
it is a thing of the past7 a good cigar4

abused his taste in that line to such an
 extent that he has taken a new         
departure and has sworn off from the    
fragrant weed4 ,his nerves had begun to 
suffer1 he had asthmatic turns1 could   
sleep but little1 and then had to be    
propped up by plenty of pillows4 ,some  
weeks ago his physician told him what   
was the matter1 and ,king ,humbert said3
 ,from this day forth ,i will not smoke

of tobacco4 ,his majesty has kept his   
word1 and the result has been a most    
noticeable improvement in his health4   
,king ,humbert is a man of iron will1   
and no one doubts that he will keep his 
self-made pledge4  ,his wife1 ,queen

author--with stories founded on the     
legends of the ,middle ,ages4 ,she      
speaks several languages and reads      
,english literature1 keeping herself

,she is described as being devout but   
liberal1 lovely and graceful1 quite     
attractive1 and much idolized by the    
,roman people4  ,the ,queen of ,roumania
 is a poetess of romantic sentiments1

much brighter than ,victoria4   ,,the   
,,reign ,,of ,,peace4  ,we find another 
very pleasant indication of the coming  
peace that was psychometrically         
prophesied for all the world1 before    
#ahhi1 in the ,central ,american        
,states4 ,advices from ,panama of ,april
 #beth1 said3      ,of great present and
 future interest to the republics of    
,central ,america are the treaties      
recently accepted by the ,diet1         

which assembled in ,guatemala4 ,the aim 
was 'to establish an     intimate       
relationship between the five republics1
 and1 by making     the continuance of  
peace certain1 to provide for their     
final     fusion into one country4' ,the
 treaty contains #cb articles1 which    
provide that perpetual peace shall exist
 between the republics1     that all    
differences shall be arranged1 and that 
in the event of     this proving        
impossible1 such differences shall be   
submitted to     arbitration4 ,the idea 
which appears to have been prominent    
among     the members of the convention 
was the establishment of settled        
rules1 which1 governing all the         
republics1 shall simplify the           
government of each4 ,the fortunes of    
each one of these industrial     and    
agricultural ,states is so intimately   
allied to those of the     others1 that 
it really appears that they are destined
 to form     one common nation4      ,to
 prevent further shedding of blood the  

,central ,american     ,congress made   
provision1 in case of discord1 that the 
,states at     variance should agree    
upon an arbitrator4 ,for this reason a  
nomination is made in advance1 and      
regulations were drawn up in     order  
to prevent1 under any circumstances1 the
 outbreak of war4     ,should1 however1 
armed disputes arise between two or more
 of the     republics1 the others bind  
themselves to observe the strictest     
neutrality4      ,all the republics bind
 themselves in the most solemn manner to
     respect the independence of each   
,state1 and to prohibit the             
preparation in any one of armed         
expeditions against any of the          
others1 and that all citizens of the    
different ,states shall     enjoy       
similar privileges and rights throughout
 all of them4  ,finally--,john ,bright

,,the ,,sinaloa ,,colony4--,co-operation
 in some form is the only hope of       
philanthropists for a harmonious        
settlement of the labor question4 ,hence
 we must feel an interest in the        
,sinaloa ,colony4 ,i have always        
maintained that there are very few of   
the present generation 7who are the     
outcome of war and competition7 fit for 
co-operative life4 ,mr4 ,owen in his    
letter of last ,august says3      ,the  
work we have laid out in ,sinaloa       
requires1 at first1 men of     frontier 
experience--those who can fish1 hunt1   
cook1 work the     land and hold to a   
purpose in the face of privations and   
even     death4      ,we repeat again   
that if the women wish us to succeed    
they must     not go to ,sinaloa until  
we have gotten water1 garden1 and houses
     for them1 and never without first  
obtaining permission from     our ,new  
,york office4      ,the ,credit ,foncier
 company was conceived in kindness and  
love     for mankind1 and its mission   

was and is peace on earth and good      
will to every human being4 ,it is to be 
regretted that the     ,company was not 
financially able from the beginning to  
guard its     friends from discomforts  
and disease4 ,such was its endeavor1 but
     the circumstances surrounding our  
movement have made this     impossible4 
,of all times during the #aith century1 
perhaps1 we     struck ,sinaloa when it 
was the least prepared for us4 ,our     
friends1 however1 would not be advised4 
,their idea of     co-operation was that
 every one was to act as he or she      
pleased1     at the time and place he or
 she selected2 and that the ,company    
was to be responsible for his and her   
employment1 food1 shelter1     health   
and comfort at all times and in every   
place4 ,so     thoroughly did they      
believe this that they did not even     
think it     was necessary to give the  
,company a hint that they were going to 
,sinaloa1 how1 when1 or for what        
purpose4      ,well6 what was the result

 of each acting for him and herself8    
,some #djj and more persons were dumped 
off at ,topolobampo into     the brush  
and cacti1 and over fifty per cent of   
these were     women1 children1 and aged
 persons1 who became at once a heavy1   
constant1 and ever increasing care to   
those who were physically     capable of
 meeting the requirements of the        
movement4 ,this     actually put upon   
every able-bodied pioneer a child1      
woman1 or     aged person to attend to1 
to see sheltered1 to have fed1 etc41    
etc41 besides his duties1 and it added  
five times to the     expenses in the   
field which the ,company proposed at    
first to     meet4 ,but this was not the
 worst4 ,the attention which it was     
necessary to give to these              
non-combatants took the men from the    
work that the ,company expected to be   
done4 ,this discouraged     those who   
were able and willing to work and piled 
anxieties upon     our best friends     
until they tottered under loads other   

than     belonged to the cause4         
,disease1 death1 and discouragement     
followed4 ,those who remained in the    
,states were frightened1 and     the    
,company was left almost moneyless and  
powerless to assist1     even when it   
was most earnest in its work and in its 
wish to do     so4      ,had an army    
preparing for a campaign been recruited 
in such a     way1 its friends would    
have demoralized and defeated it before 
an enemy had been met4 ,the ,united     
,states ,army1 during the late          
rebellion1 was recruited in the         
following way3 every man had to     be  
stripped naked1 measured1 weighed1      
examined1 and reported by     a medical 
officer to be physically and mentally   
capable of     enduring camp life1      
before he was enlisted1 and even after  
this     test and care1 the records will
 show that thirty per cent each         
year1 without going into battle1 became 
sick1 died1 deserted1 or     went home1 
i4e41 only #gj per cent of all those    

recruited for     the war stood the     
trials1 even to get the first smell of  
the     burnt powder4      ,now that we 
have gotten our pioneers reduced to     
about #bjj1 to a     few more than we   
had in ,december at ,topolobampo1 and to
 which     number we then urged that no 
more be added1 we can organize and      
begin anew to follow out the details    
laid down in ,integral                  
,co-operation1 strengthened by having   
veterans in the field and     by an     
experience with our people which will be
 of value to them     and to the        
,company4      ,we are informed that    
some of those who returned in ,july1    
like     those who came back in ,april1 
expect to go again to ,sinaloa as       
soon as the ,company is in shape to push
 its work4 ,we wish to say     to these 
friends that all who have proven        
themselves to be     thoroughly with the
 movement will be welcomed in our midst1
 but     that we positively order--and  
in this we have the support of     every

 director and every good colonist--that 
every person who     goes to our        
settlements hereafter shall apply for   
and obtain     permission from the ,new 
,york office4 ,our purpose is now to    
lead     the movement and not to have   
the movement lead us4 ,any colonist     
who goes to our settlements in violation
 of these instructions     will not be  
received as a friend1 will not be       
employed1     sheltered or provided for1
 and will forfeit stock and credits in  
the ,company4  ,when the pioneers in    
philanthropic schemes learn that their  
success depends entirely upon the       
persons enlisted1 and when they select  
those persons by a psychometric         
knowledge of character or a thorough    
knowledge of their past lives1 sternly  
rejecting all who are weak1 unbalanced1 
passionate or selfish1 success may be   
expected4 ,the adversities at           
,topolobampo are the best preparation   
for success1 by sending off all who were
 not fitted for such work4  ,there is   

evidently some good material at

     ,,rectification ,,of ,,cerebral    
,,science  7,continued from page #cb47  
,the map of ,gall presented here is     
taken from his large work published from
 #ahji to #ahai 7price #ajjj francs71   
the latter part being finished without  
the co-operation of ,spurzheim4 ,the    
great imperfection is apparent at a     
glance4 ,gall simply published what he  
saw1 or thought he saw1 and being a very
 imperfect1 inaccurate observer of forms
 and outlines1 he attached himself      
chiefly to the idea of prominences 7or  
bumps7 at certain localities1 and to his
 mode of presenting the subject we are  
mainly indebted for the ridicule of     
phrenology as a science of bumps4 ,i    
have taken much pains to assure my      
students that cerebral science has      
little or nothing to do with bumps1 that
 bumps upon the skull belong to its     
osseous structure1 which presents       
certain protuberances with which they   
should be acquainted1 and do not        
indicate development of brain1 which is 

indicated by gentle changes in the      
contour of the skull1 the form of which 
shows how much room there is for special
 convolutions4  ,to ,gall's drawing1    
which was by no means accurate1 ,i have 
added the names of the organs as he     
recognized them1 and given definite     
boundaries to the organs which he       
represented by a shaded drawing1        
conveying the idea of a central         
elevation4 ,i have given them the whole 
space allowed by his shading1 and this  
leaves considerable space unoccupied1 as
 if he did not know what lay between    
them4 ,spurzheim1 on the contrary1      
attempted to cover the entire ground1   
and had a more harmonious arrangement   
than ,gall1 in whose map we see the     
inventive faculty running into murder1  
and avarice into music and poetry4 ,yet 
even ,spurzheim retained avarice in     
contact with ideality1 invention1 hope1 
and conscientiousness4 ,neither seems to
 have realized that there is no example 
in the brain of a single convolution    

perfectly homogeneous1 and even         
intermingled in its minute structure1   
suddenly changing its essential         
functions into something entirely       
opposite1 when there is not the         
slightest separation or differentiation 
of the cerebral matter4 ,when such      
marked differences are perceptible1 it  
is due to the separation of the         
convolutions by the furrows or          
anfractuosities into which the pia mater
 descends1 making a substantial         
separation4 ,but this nice survey of the
 convolutions and their boundaries was  
obviously impossible by cranioscopy1    
which1 at the best1 could only recognize
 considerable differences of magnitude4 
,psychometry alone is capable of minute 
exploration of functions1 the results of
 which ,i published in a large map of   
the head in #ahdb4  ,the chart of       
,spurzheim needs no further criticism at
 present4 ,in contrast with the chart of
 ,anthropology1 the reader will observe 
that the latter presents the functions  

of the entire basilar region of the     
brain1 which are marked upon the face   
and neck in the most proximate          
locations4 ,the catalogue of ,spurzheim

a separate bust or chart4               
,,organology ,,of ,,buchanan1           
#ahdb-ahhg4  ,in presenting a           
psychological map of the brain it is    
almost impossible to separate psychology
 entirely from physiology in the        
nomenclature1 as the basilar organs     
relate more to the body than the soul4  
,alimentiveness or appetite1 ,virility1 
,sensibility1 ,hearing1 ,vision1        
,turbulence1 all imply physical         
operations4 ,at the same time all the   
higher emotions1 which we express in    
psychic terms1 have their physical      

effects on the body1 which are very     
important and enable us to understand   
,,psychic ,,therapeutics1 a science     
which has been blindly cultivated under 
the name of ,mind ,cure4 ,a thorough    
understanding of the double functions of
 the brain and body enables us to solve 
all the great problems of mind and body1
 and apply our solution to the business 
and duties of life and organization of  
society4  ,it is not proposed to present
 here a complete view of the new        
,anthropology1 as the functions and     
locations of organs will be presented   
fully hereafter1 but merely to show by a
 brief catalogue how large an addition  
has been made to the old system to fill 
all the vacant spaces left on the       
surface of the cranium and on the       
basilar surfaces of the brain which are 
reached through the face and neck1 the  
functions of which are therefore        
designated on the external locations on 
the face and neck through which they are
 reached4  ,in the intellectual region  

our more thorough analysis gives us for 
the higher understanding1 not merely    
,comparative ,sagacity and ,causality1  
but ,foresight1 ,sagacity1 ,judgment1   
,wit1 ,reason1 ,ingenuity and ,scheming 
or planning4 ,at present ,i merely state
 the facts that such organs are         
demonstrated by experiments4 ,the       
philosophy1 beauty and perfection of the
 new ,anthropology will be made apparent
 as the subject is developed hereafter4 
,behind the region of understanding are 
found several semi-intellectual         
organs1--,ideality and ,marvellousness1 
which have been recognized in the old   
system1 and above them ,imagination and 
,spirituality1 which in connection with 
,marvellousness make a group to which ,i
 have given the name of ,genius1 as when
 largely developed they give great      
brilliance and expansion of mind4       
,immediately above ,reason is a region  
producing ,pliability and ,versatility1 
which greatly assists the reasoning     
faculty in mastering unfamiliar truth4  

,admiration1 adjacent to ,imagination1  
gives great power of appreciation and   
recognition of merit4 ,sincerity and    
,candor or ,expressiveness also add much
 to the capacity for attaining truth2   
and ,liberality1 between ,foresight and 
,benevolence1 adds much to the expansion
 of the understanding4  ,the middle     
intellectual region gives us ,intuition 
and ,clairvoyance at the inner face of  
the front lobe1 then ,consciousness and 
observation1 running into recent and    
remote ,memory1 above the region of     
,phenomena which recognizes the changes 
in physical objects4 ,between ,time and 
,invention we have ,system1 lying       
between ,order below and ,planning      
above4 ,between ,invention and ,ideality
 we have ,composition or ,literary      
,capacity1 and in ,ideality a region of 
,meditation 7not marked7 running into   
,somnolence1 the region of ,dreaming and
 of ,transcorporeal ,perception or      
,impression4 ,this runs into ,general   
,physical ,sensibility1 through         

,impressibility 7not marked71 and       
anteriorly into the sense of ,hearing   
7adjacent to ,language and ,tune74 ,the 
organ of ,sensibility has many          
subdivisions unnecessary to mention at  
present4 ,below this lies the region of 
,interior ,sensibility1 which ,i have   
generally called ,disease1 because it   
gives so great a liability to morbid    
conditions1 but of course no condition  
in the human constitution is morbid     
aside from injurious influences4  ,in   
the lower range of ,intellectuality we  
find just below ,order and ,calculation 
the sense of ,force1 which might be     
called the muscular sense or sense of   
exertion1 by means of which we perceive 
the action of our muscles and attain    
great dexterity4 ,immediately over the  
pupil of the eye we find the faculty of 
,vision or sense of ,sight1 marked      
,light1 which runs into a sense of      
,shade at the inner angle of the eye1 by
 which two perceptions everything in    
nature except colors is recognized4     

,light extends up into ,color4 ,the     
middle of the brow is therefore the seat
 of ,vision1 while ,hearing is in the   
temples behind the eye4 ,the eye gives  
us the external location of the organs  
just behind it1 which ,i do not call    
,language1 although certainly favorable 
to the study of languages1 in which     
,gall was practically correct4 ,the     
anterior surface of the middle lobe1    
represented by the eye and the face1 is 
a region of natural language or         
,expression1 a tendency to manifestation
 which is so conspicuous in children1   
but which becomes subdued in adult life 
by the higher powers1 during which      
change the infantile fulness of face    
generally disappears4 ,the prominence of
 the eye therefore indicates a more     
active manifestation of intellect and   
close attention to everything that      
interests1 or thoughtful observation4   
,the face is marked as the region of    
,expression1 which lies in the anterior 
surface of the middle lobe1 and gives   

the ready excitability and disposition  
to manifest our feelings in response to 
all who approach us4 ,the upper portion 
of the face corresponds to the          
expression of the upper surface of the  
brain1 the lower to the occipital region
 and the posterior inferior portion to  
the basilar region4 ,hence the breadth  
and prominence of the lower part of the 
face is not a pleasing feature4 ,ardor  
or evolution of warmth is expressed by  
the prominence of the chin1 which       
corresponds to the medulla oblongata4   
,excitability running into ,insanity is 
expressed below the jaw1 and its milder 
form as ,childishness and tendency to   
,idiocy below the anterior part of the  
jaw1 while ,hysterical ,nervousness     
appears below the chin1 and ,sexual     
,passion at the larynx4  ,on the side of
 the head we have ,modesty and          
,reverence1 the former running down into
 ,bashfulness and the latter into       
,humility or ,servility4 ,next to these 
we find ,sublimity1 which was correctly 

suggested by the ,edinburgh             
phrenologists4 ,it lies between         
,reverence and ,cautiousness4  ,passing 
up from the timid and excitable region  
of ,cautiousness to its upper prudential
 region we reach a prudent1 calm and    
self-controlling region which is marked 
,sanity1 as it is the power which       
overrules the passionate excitability   
and gives us self-control and consequent
 clearness of mind4 ,next behind        
,cautiousness comes ,coolness or        
,coldness1 which is both a mental and   
physical quality1 behind which we have a
 region of ,repose1 the tendency of     
which is toward sleep4 ,below ,coolness 
we have a region marked ,force1 which   
gives energy and impulse without the    
violence that is developed lower down4  
,immediately over the ear is the region 
of ,irritability1 the antagonist of     
,patience4 ,going forward1 the functions
 change to ,excitability and            
,sensibility2 going back it becomes     
impulsive and somewhat lawless4 ,this   

impulse1 antagonistic to ,religion1     
manifests itself as ,impulsiveness and  
,profligacy4 ,farther back the impulse  
becomes the ,rivalry which is seen in   
all species of games as well as in the  
competitions of all species of business 
and ambition4 ,rivalry runs into        
grasping ,selfishness1 ,acquisitiveness 
or avarice1 and this1 through ,jealousy 
and ,deceit1 into the familiar function 
of ,combativeness4  ,passing down from  
,combativeness1 ,jealousy1 and ,rivalry1
 we come to a more intense hostility in 
,hatred1 or the spirit of ,domination   
and ,revenge 7antagonistic to ,love71   
anterior to which at the mastoid process
 we find the maximum violence in        
,destructiveness and ,desperation1 the  
antagonists of ,hope1 and ,philanthropy 
or ,kindness4 ,this is the murderous    
region1 below and behind the ear1 which 
,gall and ,spurzheim mislocated above   
it1 whereas it belongs to the inferior  
face of the brain1 where the organs grow
 downward4  ,passing forward and inward 

on the basilar surface1 adjacent to the 
petrous ridge of the temporal bone1 and 
the anterior margin of the tentorium1 we
 reach in front the passional region of 
,rage and ,insanity and a little further
 back1 a region of restless and lawless 
,turbulence1 which is marked upon the   
neck1 and which antagonizes the regions 
of ,tranquillity1 ,patriotism1 and the  
outer portion of ,conscientiousness4    
,anterior to the ,destructive and       
,turbulent region1 but a little more    
external than ,insanity1 are the regions
 of ,roguery and ,pessimism1 which      
appear immediately at the ear and on the
 lower angle of the jaw1 which is marked
 as ,melancholy on account of its sullen
 gloom1 which looks always on the       
unfavorable side4 ,the organ manifested 
behind the jaw through the inner ear or 
meatus auditorius is one of sensual     
selfishness which1 when predominant1    
produces ,baseness or disregard of all  
duties for our own indolent and         
profligate indulgence1 antagonizing     

,conscientiousness4 ,closely adjacent to
 this is the tendency to ,intemperance1 
belonging to the organ of ,love of      
,stimulus1 at the posterior margin of   
,alimentiveness4 ,anterior to           
,alimentiveness is the indolent region1 
the organ of ,relaxation1 between       
,disease and ,melancholy1 the antagonist
 of ,energy which gives untiring        
industry4  ,looking at the occiput1 we  
find below ,self-esteem or ,pride1 which
 was correctly located1 the organs of   
,self-confidence1 ,love of ,power1 and  
,arrogance1 extending down the median   
line to the cerebellum4 ,parallel to    
this we find ,ostentation 7which might  
be called ,vanity7 and ,ambition1 organs
 which antagonize ,modesty and          
,ideality1 as those of the median line  
antagonize ,reverence4 ,next to         
,ambition comes the region of ,business 
,energy1 a less aspiring and            
ostentatious element than ,ambition4    
,next to this come the regions of       
,adhesiveness1 the gregarious social    

impulse1 ,aggressiveness1 the           
intermediate between ,adhesiveness and  
,combativeness1 possessing much of the  
character of each1 and                  
,self-sufficiency1 which relies upon our
 own knowledge and desires to lead      
others4 ,these three organs are the     
antagonists of the intellectual1 and yet
 by a wonderful law to be explained     
hereafter1 they co-operate with them4   
,the region between ,aggressiveness1    
,repose1 and ,force is marked           
,stolidity1 as that is the effect of its
 predominance4 ,it bears some           
resemblance to the stubborn character of
 the upper portion of ,combativeness1 in
 which organ we may clearly distinguish 
five or six different modifications of  
its energy4  ,combativeness1            
,aggressiveness1 and ,business ,energy  
run into ,dogmatism1 a sceptical and    
domineering impulse4 ,ambition and      
,ostentation run down into ,loquacity   
and ,fascination1 below which we find   
,familiarity1 which runs into ,arrogance

 and ,sexual ,virility4 ,between the    
latter and the ,turbulent region is the 
region of pure ,animalism1 of which     
,sarcognomy shows the correspondence in 
the legs4 ,above this in the region of  
,hatred is the location of ,vital       
,force1 which has its correspondence at 
the upper posterior part of the thigh4  
,the general sympathy of the thigh is   
found in the restless and impulsive     
region at the side of the neck1 which   
antagonizes ,cautiousness4  ,on the     
superior surface of the brain we find   
parallel to ,religion on each side1     
,philanthropy or ,kindness1 ,hope and   
,love1 which antagonize                 
,destructiveness1 ,desperation1 and     
,hate4 ,anteriorly on each side of      
,benevolence is a pleasing region       
antagonistic to ,combativeness and      
,jealousy1 and manifesting many pleasing
 sentiments1 which ,i have grouped under
 the general title of ,harmony4 ,in this
 region ,faith and ,candor1 or love of  
truth1 antagonize ,jealousy4            

,politeness1 ,imitation1 ,friendship1   
,admiration1 ,pliability1 ,humor 7or    
,mirthfulness71 and ,sympathy antagonize
 ,combativeness4 ,the region of ,genius 
antagonizes sceptical ,dogmatism4       
,behind ,love1 which self-evidently     
belongs to the higher region of the     
brain1 where the founders of the science
 failed to find it1 comes               
,conscientiousness1 which was discovered
 by ,spurzheim1 and behind that1        
experiment shows ,fortitude1 the        
antagonist of the sensuous appetite1    
,energy1 the antagonist of indolent     
relaxation1 and ,cheerfulness1 the      
antagonist of ,melancholy1 by which ,i  
have so often removed depression of     
spirits1 the lack of which leaves us a  
prey to melancholy4 ,exterior to        
,conscientiousness comes ,patriotism1 or
 love of country4  ,parallel to the     
posterior part of ,firmness lies        
,heroism1 or ,hardihood1 next to which  
come ,health and ,oratory1 then         
,approbativeness and ,playfulness1      

running into ,sense of ,honor and       
,magnanimity4 ,approbativeness1         
,playfulness1 ,honor1 ,magnanimity and  
,self-sufficiency might as one group be 
almost included in the old conception of
 ,approbativeness4 ,magnanimity is a    
faculty closely akin to ,self-esteem or 
,pride1 but belongs more to interior    
sentiment and is less external or       
demonstrative4  ,all of these new organs
 and faculties have been discovered1    
demonstrated and studied since #ahce1 my
 first discoveries1 which included a    
great portion of the whole1 having been 
made by the cranioscopic method of ,gall
 and ,spurzheim1 in which ,i found no   
difficulty in detecting the errors of my
 predecessors1 and discovering the      
truths which are so patent to one who   
seeks them4 ,but alas1 the dispassionate
 search for truth is the rarest virtue  
on earth4 ,even ,gall himself had not   
enough of this to recognize the         
discoveries of ,spurzheim4 ,nor had     
,spurzheim enough to get rid of some of 

the palpable errors of ,gall1 such as   
placing ,acquisitiveness in the temples1
 ,mirthfulness in the philosophic group1
 and reversing the true positions of    
,tune and ,constructiveness1 extending  
the latter into the middle lobe4        
,spurzheim1 however1 was a better and   
more faithful observer than ,gall1 and  
greatly improved the science of         
,phrenology1 though he never realized   
that from the brain we may develop a    
complete ,anthropology4  ,this hasty    
enumeration of the psychic portion of   
the demonstrated functions of the brain1
 which my predecessors failed to reach1 
will give the reader some idea of the   
magnitude of the task to discover all   
this1 to establish its relations to     
anatomy1 and1 ,i may add1 to cerebral   
mathematics1 and to organize the whole  
into a harmonious philosophy1 which     
demonstrates itself1 when understood1 by
 a divine perfection which is beyond the
 power of human invention to originate4 
,perhaps some readers may feel that ,i  

should have introduced the subject by   
systematic demonstrations and narratives
 of experiments4 ,i avoid this because  
such narratives would not be attractive 
to readers who are eager to reach a     
valuable truth1 and do not wish to go   
through the labors of discovery4 ,nor am
 ,i at all concerned about              
demonstrations4 ,if ,i have unveiled    
eternal truths1 my successors1 if they  
are faithful students1 will be compelled
 to see what ,i have seen1 and to verify
 my observations4  ,i simply ,,know the 
truth of what ,i present1 from several  
reasons1 each one of which is sufficient
 in itself4  #a4 ,,experimental4--,as an
 experimental investigation ,i have many
 thousand times excited the organs of   
the brain in intelligent persons and    
made them realize or show the effects as
 ,i stimulated the intellect1 the       
emotions1 the passions or the           
physiological functions1 so as to bring 
out ,memory1 ,intuition1 ,somnolence1   
,spirituality1 ,love1 ,religion1 ,hope  

to ecstasy1 ,pride1 ,arrogance1         
,combativeness1 ,avarice1 ,hunger1      
,theft1 ,insanity1 ,sleep1 ,mirth1      
,grief1 etc41 etc41 and the organs that 
change the action of the heart1 the     
muscular strength and the bodily        
temperature4 ,these experiments have    
been made before great numbers of       
enlightened persons and have been       
largely repeated by my students4        
,manifestly ,i cannot speak with any    
less confidence of ,anthropology than a 
chemist does of chemistry1 when for     
forty-five years1 ,i have ever been able
 and willing to demonstrate its         
principles by experiments on intelligent
 persons1 changing their physical       
strength1 their circulation and their   
mental faculties4  #b4 ,,sensitive4--,i 
have felt nearly all the functions of   
the brain in various degrees of         
excitement in my own person1 and know   
the positions of the organs as well as  
the gymnast knows the position of the   
muscles in which he produces fatigue4   

,my physical sensibility has been so    
acute as to recognize by local          
sensations at all times the degree of   
activity in any portion of the brain1   
manifested by local warmth and          
sensibility1 by a sanguineous pressure1 
by vivid sensations in the scalp1 with  
erection of the hair1 or by aching      
fatigue1 or by irritations and          
tenderness in the scalp2 or in case of  
inactivity by the entire absence of     
sensation1 or in case of obstruction by 
a distinct feeling of oppression4  #c4  
,,psychometric4--,i have explored every 
portion of the brain with care and      
minuteness by the psychometric method1  
even tracing the convolutions and their 
anfractuosities1 and observing from     
point to point how beautifully and      
harmoniously the innumerable functions  
blend with each other2 how the different
 portions of a convolution vary1 and how
 the different conditions of the brain  
and different degrees of excitement     
modify the results2 and these           

investigations have been carried on for 
years1 until results were clearly       
established and over and over confirmed 
by psychometry1 by experiment1 and by   
consciousness4  #d4                     
,,mathematical4--,the development of so 
positive a science enabled me to        
establish certain mathematical or       
,,geometric laws of cerebral action1    
concerning the direction and mode in    
which all faculties act upon the mind   
and body1 which laws constitute the     
,,basic ,,philosophy of ,anthropology1  
the highest generalization of science4  
,these laws constitute a compact system 
of science1 lying at the basis of all   
psychology1 as the bony skeleton is the 
basis of the human form4 ,these laws    
being easily demonstrated1 and giving   
great clearness and systematic beauty to
 the whole science1 are alone a         
sufficient demonstration4 ,they         
constitute the science of ,,pathognomy4 
#e4 ,,cranioscopy4--,in describing      
characters or constitutions1 the new    

system is continually tested and        
demonstrated4 ,all whom ,i have taught  
find1 when they test it1 that1 in its   
applications by cranioscopy1 the results
 invariably confirm the accuracy of the 
science4  #f4                           
,,correspondence4--,sarcognomy          
demonstrates in the body an entire      
correspondence to the system of         
functions and organs discovered in the  
brain4 ,the same functions1 on a lower  
plane and in corresponding locations1   
are found in the body4  #g4             
,,application4--,in the application of  
the science1 not only to the diagnosis  
of character and disease but to the     
solution of problems in human nature1   
the explanation of temperaments1 the    
determination of relations between      
persons or sociology1 the correction of 
education1 the organization of          
philosophy1 the criticism of literature1
 the philosophy of oratory and art1 the 
development of a philosophic            
pneumatology and religion1 and1 finally1

 the study of the animal kingdom1--every
 application gives evidence of its      
competency and its truth as a supreme   
science and philosophy4  ,,mastering    
,,the ,,science4--,the large amount of  
detail of the organology of the brain   
which has been presented1 will1 no      
doubt1 strike most readers with a       
sentiment of multitudinous confusion1   
and a doubt of the possibility of their 
ever applying so complex a science to   
the study of character4 ,i have the     
pleasure of saying that the difficulty  
quickly vanishes when one is rightly    
instructed1 and that ,i generally       
succeed in a single evening in making my
 pupils acquainted with the localities  
so well as to avoid any material error4 
,the more perfectly any science is      
developed and understood the easier it  
becomes to impart its principles4 ,in   
the next chapter ,i will show how easy  
it is to learn the organic locations of 
,anthropology and apply them to the     
judgment of character4     ,,to ,,you

,,mayo',s ,,an,,sthetic4  ,the          
suspension of pain1 under dangerous     
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 restricted1 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    
inferior 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 ansthetic 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 ansthetic 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 ansthetics when    
carried too far4 ,the success of ,dr4   
,mayo1 in perfecting our best ansthetic1
 is amply attested by those who have    
used it4 ,dr4 ,thorndike1 than whom     
,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 ,williams 
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  
ansthetic of the age4 ,dr4 ,morrill1 of 
,boston1 administered ,mayo's ansthetic 
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 ansthetic 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 oxide 7says   

,dr4 ,p47 causes the patient when fully 
under its influence to have very like   
the appearance of a corpse1 but under   
this new ansthetic the patient appears  
like one in a natural sleep4 ,the       
language of the press generally has been
 highly commendatory1 and if ,dr4 ,mayo 
had occupied so conspicuous a rank as   
,prof4 ,simpson1 of ,edinburgh1 his new 
ansthetic would have been adopted at    
once in every college of ,america and   
,europe4         99       99       99

perfectly safe and pleasant substitute  
for chloroform1 ether1 nitrous oxide    
gas1 and all other ansthetics4          
,discovered by ,dr4 ,u4 ,k4 ,mayo1      
,april1 #ahhc1 and since administered by
 him and others in over #cjj1jjj cases  
successfully4 ,the youngest child1 the  
most sensitive lady1 and those having   
heart disease1 and lung complaint1      
inhale this vapor with impunity4 ,it    
stimulates the circulation of the blood 

and builds up the tissues4 ,indorsed by 
the highest authority in the            
professions1 recommended in midwifery   
and all cases of nervous prostration4   
,physicians1 surgeons1 dentists and     
private families supplied with this     
vapor1 liquefied1 in cylinders of       
various capacities4 ,it should be       
administered the same as ,nitrous       
,oxide1 but it does not produce headache
 and nausea as that sometimes does4 ,for
