ABSTRACT

Taking a normal subject in the hypnotic state with eyes closed we shall find, without any verbal suggestion whatever, that his sensibility is greatly augmented. Thus passes made with the hand or only one finger above any part of his body, about six inches from it, appear to be felt by the subject, who will move that part in the direction in which the passes are applied. An ordinary horseshoe magnet drawn across in a similar manner will produce a like result.
