Sinopsis

Excerpt from Isis Revelata, Vol. 1: An Inquiry Into the Origin, Progress, and Present State of Animal Magnetism

This neutrality, so far as I am aware, has been pretty strict ly observed, and I may even venture to confess my obligations ibr the polite attention I have experienced from several of the junior, and consequently most unprej udiced and most inquisi tive, members of the profession. I cannot help expressing some surprise, however, that the subject should have been viewed by medical men, in general, with such an apparently listlem and apathetic indifference. Upon due inquiry (and this is all I ask for), they would find a number of very extraordinary and high ly interesting facts, adduced upon the most incontrovertible evi dence, to which sufficient attention has not been hitherto paid. These facts are most important to medical science, and ought to be seriously investigated. To this investigation they ought to be the most cornpetent; and by neglecting it, they just leave a wide door open to quackery, besides depriving themselves of ad ditional means of being useful to society, and, by abandoning the scientific study of their proibssiou, becoming little better than mere empirics.
