by Anton Mesmer, 1779
1 A responsive influence exists between the heavenly bodies, the earth, and animated bodies.
2 A fluid universally diffused, so continuous as not to admit of a vacuum, incomparably subtle, and naturally susceptible of receiving, propagating, and communicating all motor disturbances, is the means of this influence.
16 It is communicated, propagated, and increased by sound.
17 This magnetic virtue may be accumulated, concentrated, and transported.
18 I have said that animated bodies are not all equally susceptible; in a few instances they have such an opposite property that their presence is enough to destroy all the effects of magnetism upon other bodies.
LEE FRIEDLANDER
