And now the patient--beginning to wake in trance, hearing and answering the questions of the operator, moving each limb, or rising even, as the operator's hand is raised to draw him into obedient following--enters into a new relation with his mesmeriser. He _adopts sympathetically every voluntary movement of the other_. When the latter rises from his chair, _he_ rises; when he sits down, _he_ sits down; if he bows, _he_ bows; if he make a grimace, _he_ makes the same. Yet his eyes are closed. He certainly does not see. His mind has interpenetrated to a small extent the nervous system of the operator; and is in relation with his voluntary nerves and the anterior half of his cranio-spinal chord. (These are the organs by which the impulse to voluntary motion is conveyed and originated.) Farther into the other's being, he has not yet got. So he does not _what the other thinks of, or wishes him to do_; but only what the other either does, or goes through the mental part of doing. So Victor sang the air, which M. de Puysegur only mentally hummed. The next strange phenomenon marks that the mind of the untranced patient has interpenetrated the nervous system of the other _a step farther_, and is in relation besides with the posterior half of the cranio-spinal chord and its nerves. For now the entranced person, who has no feeling, or taste, or smell of his own, _feels, tastes, and smells every thing that is made to tell on the senses of the operator_. If mustard or sugar be put in his own mouth, he seems not to know that they are there; if mustard is placed on the tongue of the operator, the entranced person expresses great disgust, and tries as if to spit it out. The same with bodily pain. If you pluck a hair from the operator's head, the other complains of the pain you give _him_. To state in the closest way what has happened--the phenomena of sympathetic motion and sympathetic sensation, thus displayed, are exactly such as might be expected to follow, if the mind or conscious principle of the entranced person were brought into relation with the cranio-spinal chord of the operator and its nerves, and with no farther portion of his nervous system. Later, it will be seen the interpenetration can extend farther. But before this happens, a new phenomenon manifests itself, not of a sympathetic character. The operator contrives to wake the entranced person to the knowledge that he possesses new faculties. _He develops in him new organs of sensation_, or rather helps to hasten his recognition of their possession.
