Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of magnetism and electricity, tracing their connection throughout history to their perceived identity in the present day. The author argues that an understanding of animal magnetism is key to unlocking the mysteries of the nervous system and phenomena like mesmerism. By citing experiments by Walsh, Ingenhous, Cavendish, Sir H. Davy, and Dr. Davy, the author asserts the identity of electricity from various sources, including the human body. This book delves into the relationship between nervous power, galvanism, electricity, and magnetism. It examines the effects of the magnet on the body, both in its ordinary condition and in the state of mesmeric influence. The author concludes by suggesting that future research may attribute the phenomena of fever to free electricity accumulated on the surface of the body, and that the study of magnetism may provide new insights into the nature of life itself.
