magnet is therefore especially useful in all inflamma- 

 tions, in flaxes and ulcerations, in diseases of the bowels 

 and uterus, in internal as well as in external disease." 



" The magnet has a front (north pole) and a back 

 (south pole); the former attracts and tlie latter repulses. 

 In a case of hysteria the attracting part of the magnet 

 is applied above the uterus, and the repulsing part of 

 another magnet below. In this way the nervous force 

 controlling the movements of the uterus will be pro- 

 pelled towards its proper place. In cases of epilepsy, 

 where there is a great determination of nervous fluid 

 towards the brain, the repulsing (negative) pole of a 

 magnet is applied to the spine and to the head, and 

 the attracting (positive) pole of other magnets upon 

 the abdominal region. There are a great many other 

 diseases that may be cured by the proper use of the 

 magnet, but for those who are able to understand such 

 things the hints already given will be sufiBcient, while 

 those who have little understanding would not com- 

 prehend this system even if we were to write a book 

 about it It should, however, be remembered that the 

 manner of employing a magnet changes according as to 

 whether we wish to draw the diseased aura out of the 

 body, or to cause it to be reabsorbed into its centre." 



The forces composing the Microcosm of man are 

 identical with the forces composing the Macrocosm of 

 the world. In the organism of man these forces may 

 act in an abnormal manner, and diseases will be thereby 

 created ; in the great organism of the Cosmos they 

 may act in an abnormal manner, and thereby abnormal 

 conditions, or " diseases " in the earth and atmosphere, 

 in the water and in the elements of fire (electricity), 

 may be created. Man may be affected with spasms, 

 or dropsy, or colic, or fevers, &c., and the Macrocosm 

 of the earth may be affected with earthquakes, rain- 

 spouts, storms, and lightnings. The elements that con- 

 stitute the life of the heart of man constitute the life
