Стр. 236 - In order to ascertain whether the somnambulist made any use of his eyes, the Archbishop held a piece of pasteboard under his chin, to prevent him from seeing the paper upon which he was writing, but he continued to write on, without being apparently incommoded in the slightest degree.
Стр. xiii - If the history of the man experiencing no agony during the operation were true, still the fact is unworthy of consideration, because pain is a wise provision of nature, and patients ought to suffer pain while their surgeons are operating; they are all the better for it and recover better.
Стр. 148 - The man never moved, nor showed any signs of life, except an occasional indistinct moan; but when I threw back his head, and passed my fingers into his throat, to detach the mass in that direction, the stream of blood was directed into his windpipe, and some instinctive effort became necessary for existence ; he therefore coughed, and leaned forward to get rid of the blood ; and I supposed that he then awoke. The operation was by this time finished, and he was laid on the floor to have his face sewed...
Стр. 129 - ... twenty-four, doing at intervals that which she is not doing. There are many exhibitions of extravagant powers which she possesses, that we talk of to no one ; for, finding it difficult to acquire credit for lesser things, we do not venture on the greater. Her power ceases the moment the attack passes off. A considerable swelling has at times been visible at the back of the head, which has yielded to the treatment. It is certainly a case which would be an instructive one, in the consideration...
Стр. xx - I have already said, that flexibility of the limbs, till moved, and their remaining rigid in any position we leave them in, is characteristic of the trance : but there are exceptions, and these are equally diagnostic and to be depended upon. It sometimes happens that the limbs become rigid as they lie, and, on bending them, they are not passive and plastic, as in the first kind of catalepsy, but the muscles always tend towards a spasmodic extension of the limbs : at other times, there is a complete...
Стр. 127 - I cannot enter into any long details of the case, which has been attended with all those varieties which have long characterized the complaint, among medical men, as the Protean disorder. The extraordinary powers communicated to the other senses by the temporary suspension of one or two of them, are beyond credibility to all those who do not witness it ; and I really seldom enter into any of the details, because it would be but reasonable that those who have not seen should doubt the reality of them....
Стр. 52 - Animal magnetism is an universal fluid, constituting an absolute plenum in nature, and the medium of all mutual influence between the celestial bodies and betwixt the earth and animal bodies.
Стр. 130 - In making this communication to you, in part to vin" dicate the testimony of my friend, Mr. M , I have " really exceeded my usual custom and resolution ; for I " do not think it fair to the poor sufferer herself, to make " her too much the talk of others. Very few believe what " we tell them, — and therefore, we are in no degree " anxious to open our lips on the subject. All I know is, " that I should not have believed it 'myself, had I been
Стр. 129 - I saw her, last night only, declare the contents of a note just brought through the room, in this way (when I could not decipher it myself, without a candle), and with a rapidity with which I could not have read it by daylight. I have seen her develop hand-writing by the application of a note to the back of her hand, neck, or foot ; and she can do it at any time. There is nothing unnatural in this, for, of course, the nervous susceptibility extends all over the surface of the body, but use and habit...
Стр. xxi - ... light : this they also become aware of; they know that their eyes are open, and that they ought to see, but do not. The thought fills them with horror, and with a fearful cry they bury their faces in their hands, like persons struck blind by lightening, but this soon passes off, and the retina recovers its sensibility by a little rubbing of the eye.
