Curative Mesmerism.

The powers of the early Christians, whether natural “gifts of healing,” or both, were intensified by the simplicity and purity of their living, and the reality of their faith. They doubted not, yet where they doubted they could do no miracles.

The man who has “no heart” to relieve disease, or, having sympathy, has no will to do so, is either without the power to do good, or, doubting his power, is unable to use it.

Where there is sympathy for suffering, the desire to relieve or remove it, and the will to do so, the way soon opens up, and the suffering is removed.

The most powerful healers I ever came in contact with had strong, healthy vital organizations, and were large-hearted, kindly-disposed persons.

The weak, tender, and delicate, when the heart and head work together, can accomplish much, however. The tired mother, wearied with nursing, does not lose her charm to sooth. Gentle and tender, ever more thoughtful of others than herself, her diligent hands bring peace and blessing with them at all times.

Although delicate and sensitive females, from their sympathetic and patient natures, have been very successful in the treatment of disease--at considerable loss to themselves, however--no one should undertake to treat disease of a severe character unless they have abundance of health and vitality; and have also the determination, patience and sympathy requisite to make them good healers.

Ladies make excellent healers, just as they make the best nurses. The gift can be readily cultivated by them, and by practice put to good use. For many reasons woman would be the best magnetizer for woman, man for man, husband for wife, wife for husband, and father and mother for children, etc.; but this cannot always be.

There is no reason why the professional healer, male and female, should not be trusted and esteemed as honorable in their work and position as the physician or minister.

Wide and general experience enables me to declare my undoubted conviction, that there is scarcely any form of disease which may not be at least relieved where not cured, by the steady, persevering, and judicious use of the mesmeric processes.

Massage, shampooing, muscular and kinetic movements, are but different modes of local mesmeric treatment. These terms are more fashionable in some quarters than the word Mesmerism--that is of little consequence, if good is done.

An Important Fact.

This little book contains considerable information regarding hypnotism, but if you want to learn a great deal more send ten cents to Keystone Book Co., Philadelphia, Pa., and ask for Lupton’s book on mesmerism. It contains a vast amount of secret information not printed in this.

Curative Processes.

The mesmeric processes adopted in the cure of disease are those of sleep, and when it is necessary the application of remedies suggested by the sensitive in sleep, or by your clairvoyant, in the case of and for another patient.

In such cases, medicines may be ordered, baths prescribed, rules of diet pointed out, or certain processes of treatment ordered. And you will, if satisfied with the bona fides of your sensitive’s powers of diagnosis and general lucidity, faithfully carry them out.

The mesmeric treatment for the cure of disease may be purely local or general in character, exercised solely with the intention to alleviate and cure disease, without producing sleep, sleep not being necessary in the majority of cases. If necessary, you know how to bring it about.

Nothing is worth doing that is not worth doing well. If you want to cure disease set about it, and “whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might,” i. e., put your soul into it.

Avoid all experiments, and direct your attention, energies, and, in fact, all your powers, to the work--the most needed work--the cure of your patient.

Remember, Mesmerism is not a cure-all. There are diseases of such a character, arising from hereditary taint, constitutional defects, and organic causes, which can never be cured in this world, only you, as a mesmerist, should not say so.

Give help when and where you can, according to your strength. So that in these, medically and humanely speaking, utterly hopeless and intractable cases you are not to refuse aid, seeing there are few cases where the mesmeric influence will not soothe and relieve pain, quiet the nervous system, restore sleep and strength in a large measure and, what is not to be despised, impart a cheerful and hopeful spirit to the patient.

In chronic and acute diseases, especially when there is a periodicity in attack, sleep is recommended to break that periodicity, and to lengthen the intervals between attacks. In all mental, psychological and highly nervous troubles sleep is advised. When this is necessary, mesmerize by the long pass from head to feet, the patient being in bed, or lying upon the sofa, will materially facilitate your operations.

You will soon begin to see the effects of your attendance by the improvement in your patient. When the patient “looks for you,” is impatient for your visit and wearies for the next, it is not a bad sign; it indicates your influence and presence to be refreshing and restorative in character.

Good doctors and nurses have the same characteristics.

If your presence or influence is in any way disagreeable to your patient, and upon the third or fourth visit you are satisfied of this, give up the treatment. You can do no good, although another may. But do not give up a case simply because favorable results are tardy in making their appearance.

Where your influence is not disagreeable, it is your duty to persevere and hope for the best. You cannot do harm, and you may do great good.
