106 DYNAMIC AGENTS. 



is through these nerve-essences that each part of the whole 

 Body sympathises with all other parts, and that the equili- 

 brium and harmonious functional operations of the whole sys- 

 tem are preserved. 



This subtile and variously qualified electroid or magnetoid 

 element, therefore, being the sixth in the seven-fold series of 

 dynamic agents, is intimately allied to the sixth general law, 

 which we have seen is a law of hannonial and sympathetic 

 reciprocation. 



It is true that the discoverer of these previously unknown 

 subtile agencies did not exhibit, and perhaps did not, to 

 any extent, perceive their cosmological bearings, especially 

 as these are attempted to be set forth in the foregoing re- 

 marks. His main object appears to have been to develop 

 facts, leaving the more comprehensive conclusions to which 

 these might naturally conduce, to be unfolded by subsequent 

 investigations, and by others as well as by himself; and as 

 his facts, by their publication, and their verification by the 

 parallel experiments of others, have become the property of 

 the world, any one may elaborate and synthetize them who 

 has the inclination and mental qualifications to do so. 



In respect to this " odic," or magnetoid element, which per- 

 vades and emanates from greatest and smallest things, the 

 following additional and important remarks" may be sub- 

 mitted: As this influence, proceeding from various bodies, 

 near and remote, was found to have such remarkable effects 

 upon the sensitive human nerve, it may be considered as 

 being closely allied, in its general nature, to the nervous in- 

 fluence pervading the human body, and emanating from it as 

 an " odic " sphere. Indeed, Reichenbach actually proved its 

 identity, in the general sense, with the medium through which 

 * one human being produces those effects upon another, com-
