In the J car 1778, Frlcdrlch Anton
Mesmer, the originator of what was
then called mesmerism, observed that
there was a peculiar force of como
kind which existed between Individ
uals, and which seemed predominant
lit sotno to such an extent that they
could, at will, direct this influence to
others In so Intense a manner as to
cause a complete change In their en
tire lives. This was particularly no
ticed, nnd used. In the healing of per
tons diseased, both In their mental
end physical natures. When skillful
ly directed, Its effects were so potent
that, from slight ailments to some of
the severest types of chronic diseases,
restoration was obtained; and In men
tal disturbances, equilibrium was
quickly established. So In this force,
the followers of Mcsmbr found a pana
ris foT their sorrows and wrecked
hves.
Force Is Disputed.
Hut like In the present time Mesmer
lad much to contend wltn that was
antagonistic to his work. Thero was
a class that disputed that such a force
really existed; still another set claim
ed that It wus the work of tho Evil
Cnc. These accusations were not, ns

lL'jcrnl minded nature, but were traced
d'rectly to his enemies; for Mesmer,
with his theories and Indomitable spl
