1 Magnetism has no effect upon persons

After this, what can be said for the judgment or the impartiality of such a committee They gave at last their opinion, that it would be advisable to appoint a new commission On the l3th of December 1825, they presented themselves to the Academie to deliver their report A debate ensued, which occupied three days, and in which all the most distinguished members took part It dvd to ipod was finally decided by a majority of ten, that the commission should be appointed, and the following physicians were chosen its members:-- They were eleven in number, viz Bourdois de la Motte, the President; Fouquier, Gueneau de Mussy, Guersent, Husson, Itard, Marc, J J Leroux, Thillay, Double, and Majendie .
These gentlemen began their labours by publishing an address to dvd to ipod all magnetisers, inviting them to come forward and exhibit in their presence the wonders of animal magnetism M Dupotet says that very few answered this amicable appeal, because they were afraid of being ridiculed when the report should be published Four magnetisers, however, answered their appeal readily, and for five years were busily engaged in bringing proofs of the new science before the commission dvd to ipod These were M de Foissac, M Dupotet, M Chapelain, and M de Geslin It would be but an unprofitable, and by no means a pleasant task to follow the commissioners in their erratic career, as they were led hither and thither by the four lights of magnetism above mentioned; the four "Wills-o'-the-Wisp" which dazzled the benighted and bewildered doctors on that wide and shadowy dvd to ipod region of metaphysical inquiry -- the influence of mind over matter It will be better to state at once the conclusion they came to after so long and laborious an investigation, and then examine whether they were warranted in it by the evidence brought before them .
The report, which is exceedingly voluminous, is classed under thirty different heads, and its general tenor is dvd to ipod favourable to magnetism The reporters expressly state their belief in the existence of the magnetic fluid, and sum up the result of their inquiries in the four assertions which follow:-- .
1 Magnetism has no effect upon persons in a sound state of health, nor upon some diseased persons .
2 In others its effects are slight .
3 dvd to ipod These effects are sometimes produced by weariness or ennui, by monotony, and by the imagination .
4 We have seen these effects developed independently of the last causes, most probably as the effects of magnetism alone .
