Well, by that child--that poor (little angel) who is now--is it not so, Philip?--looking down on us from heaven, and whom we shall never see again, by that child I swear it to you. Once more. To-day is the 13th. On the 15th very early in the morning I shall be at your house. I must find you alone--you understand me, alone in the world! Do you not well know the means? Oh, Philip, I love thee (I love thee). Knowest thou what a jealous woman is? 11.--_Extracts from the "Zoist Magazine," No. XLVII., for October, 1854._ "MESMERIC CURE OF A LADY WHO HAD BEEN TWELVE YEARS IN THE HORIZONTAL POSITION, WITH EXTREME SUFFERING. By the Rev. R. A. F. Barrett, B.D., Senior Fellow of King's College, Cambridge. * * * * * "In January, 1852, I was calling upon ----, when she happened to tell me that she had been in considerable pain for a fortnight past; that the only thing that relieved her was mesmerism; but the friend who used to mesmerise her was gone. "... I continued to mesmerise her occasionally for some months.... "_April_ 21 _st._--I kept her asleep an hour and a quarter in the morning and the same in the evening. She said[5] her throat looked parched and feverish; at her request _I ate some black currant paste, which she said moistened it_.... She said, 'Before you ate, my stomach was contracted and had a queer-looking sort of moisture in it; now the stomach is its full size and does not look shrunk, and part of the moisture is gone.' "I. 'But you could not _get nourishment_ so?' "A. 'Yes: _I could get all my system wants._' * * * * * "_April_ 26_th._--In the evening I kept her asleep one hour, _and took tea for her._ "_April_ 27_th._--... I ate dinner and she felt much stronger. * * * * * "I kept her asleep two hours and a quarter in the morning and one hour in the evening, _eating for her as usual._" [Footnote 1: Section II. 2.] [Footnote 2: This I find to be the case.--R.
