All modern theories of diseases are wrong; they are not in the blood, but are the results of wrong, excessive, scant, or morbid magnetism; hence are to be thoroughly cured only by magnetic means, either directly, or by magnetic medical agents. Never yet was an injury so deep that time could not assuage it; nor an angry man that did not injure himself more than he did the object of his wrath ; nor an enemy so bitter but that right and justice in his heart did not eloquently appeal for his opponent; nor was there ever a trouble but that, somehow, a woman was at the bottom of it; nor a joy that she did not create ; nor a hatred equal to hers ; nor a friendship half so true as woman’s.
