My first experiments convinced me tiiat there vas some siinilarity in the poie oi'Terrestial and Jtving Magnetism. And all that I have síftec ïeard or wiuiessed ori this subject, has but served to stiengthen this impression.

And, indeed, it generally affects er s-i much that it has to be removed in a few moments. Tlie appioach of any shnrp metallic instrument to the body of this patiënt, produces íncrwised breatliintr. and nppaieiU distress.
