A man at Alton, Illinois, hearing of the won der? of Animal Magnetism, without seeing th operation of magnetising, undertook to c.xperiinen upon a young woman, and soon had her in a soun sleep. He continued his experiments, until sir could tell him what was passing in distant places ? but, to his astonishment and great terror, she soo; began to fall spontaneously into the mesmeri sleep. In this state she could converse freely wit! the man who had been accustomed to magnetis her, but with none else ; and no one could wak her but himself. If suffered to sleep loo long, sh became nervous and spasmed. In this state sh continued at the time of 1 ist account, and her ma a * O netiser found it necessary to be const mfly at Inn. to wake her. Tnis put a stop to his mesmeric cx periments.
