78 ~ INTERIOR VISION. opathy, to say nothing about haunted houses, etc., and the startling facts of spiritual mediumship). The substances thus chargeable are few, rare, and costly; yet such do exist, and (it takes two persons of opposite sex to do it) they can not only be filled with the specific magnetism of a person, but can be filled with the aura of hadean lust and passion, just as the Voudoos effect their incontestible magnetic spells; or they can be charged with divinest love, and be impressed spiritually with a mission to any soul with whose body they shall come in contact. It matters not to me who denies this fact of the magnetic universe; J know <z, for I have seen a deserted wife bring to her feet her recreant lord; I have seen a great actor re-win the love of his wife, whom another member of the same opera troupe stole from him, and I have seen a betrayed and almost ruined girl arrest the career of him who first betrayed, and then left her out in the cheerless cold of an infernally hypocritical world. To save people from being victimized by charlatans, it is as well to inform them that in no case can anything be charged with the power by one person alone; hence, money sent for such things is worse than thrown away. Two persons, of opposite gender, one of whom must be the party who desires to affect a third one, must conjoin in the process of infiltrating, by will, by hope, by the breath and finger-tips, the neutral substances with the specific power and magnetic quality designed; nor can it be done in any other way whatever, because there can be no magnetic evolution unless the magnetic law of minus and plus, postiive and negative, magnetic and electric, be observed. But what are the materials that can be charged with a specific human magnetism? I reply,— The negroes of Africa and our own land know of and use hundreds, — herbs and roots mainly; but science, in the hands of the late Baron Van Riechenbach, whose researches into the mysteries of light, heat, odics, chemism, and magnetics cannot be overvalued, has thrown a flood of light on the subject, so that now we know what substances are the best; and fine steel-filings, iron by hydrogen, sugar of milk, chloride of gold and lactucarium, well manipulated together in proper quantities and exact proportions, by two persons, in a glass mortar, can be charged so powerfully as to exert a specific influence upon even a dumb animal, much less a human being. Perhaps it is well that Such a preparation is very costly, requiring much time, trouble, and expense, else wrong uses might be made thereof. And, besides that, it is absolutely essential that certain ingredients must be furnished from the person of the individual who proposes to be benefited by its use; and without this the thing is useless, because the specific magnetism will escape. It is to be sewed in the garment, or worn by the party to be effected; not swallowed, or taken inwardly. Albeit there are substances that may be, to the same end. Ido not propose to name the something else, unless I know to whom it is imparted, ‘To rakes, seducers,
