downward passes, and thus hasten the result desired. When I say hasten the result--viz., the mesmeric sleep of the person operated on--I do not mean the mesmerist to hasten; _he should never be in a hurry_. When the patient has exhibited the signs mentioned, you now proceed with both local and by general passes _at distance_ to abstract your influence (but not to awaken your now-sensitive) by moving your hands with fingers extended slowly from his head to his fingers, both inside and outside the arms, also from the forehead down in front of the body to the pit of stomach, and then toward the knees. At the termination of each pass raise the hands (as described in practicing the passes) and commence again. Continue these passes for some time after he or she has apparently fallen asleep. If you do not succeed at first, proceed at subsequent sittings as if you had no previous failure; and when _once_ you succeed in putting a person asleep your power to do so will be enhanced, and your future percentages will increase in due proportion. When you have obtained satisfactory evidence of sleep, it is advisable to try no experiments for the first two or three sittings, beyond the following. Let the patient sleep on for some time, and then quietly wake him up. _Don’t do it suddenly._ You might spoil for ever a good subject by so doing. Stand behind or before your sensitive, and make slowly and then briskly upward passes (palms of the hands up) _in front of the face_, and blow steadily on the forehead, when your patient will awake much surprised and benefitted by the sleep. With a little more experience you can arrange with your patient when he will awake of his own accord. When this is done, the sensitive will always awake at the time arranged. This arrangement or experiment is capable of considerable extension or modification. You Can Take Pictures. The Gem Camera produces perfect photographs.
