Mesmerism is an old imposture rather than a new science; there has been no want of investigation by the medical profession; certain effects are produced on certain persons, particularly young women, by what is called mesmerism; physical contact has been abandoned of late years; historical instances of these 'eccentric affections'; Mesmer's original experiments were made upon assemblages; producing semi-conscious sleep may be turned to good account by physicians, but Mesmer was a quack; Miss Martineau has not been cured; she and others may be something between dupes and accomplices.
