Now, Mr. Durville found by repeated experiments that all the right side
of a sensitive subject is strongly influenced by the positive pole of
the Magnet which produces contraction, repulsion and excitation; while,
on the contrary, the other pole relaxes, attracts and calms the same
side. The Austral pole of the Magnet presented within about 4-inches of
the forehead of the subject, repulses him and puts him to sleep; while
the left hand attracts and awakens him. It is evident, then, that the
positive pole of the Magnet and the right hand are poles of the same
name; and, if the Austral pole of the Magnet is positive, then the
Boreal or Northern pole of the Earth must be negative. The physical
laws of the Human Magnetism are consequently identical with those
governing the actions of the Magnets.
The Human body represents three horse-shoe Magnets, two of them
having the neutral point at the summit of the head and the third in
an inverted position to that of the two first ones. The axis the most
important divides us laterally from right to left, the other from the
forepart to the back part of the body. The first horse-shoe Magnet has
its neutral point at the summit of the head, and its extremities or
poles at the right hand and the left hand, the right hand being the
positive, and the left hand the negative pole.
The second horse-shoe Magnet has also its neutral point at the summit
of the head, and the extremities or poles of its two branches are the
right and the left foot, the right foot being positive and the left
foot negative.
The third horse-shoe Magnet, the one in an inverted position, has its
neutral point at the perineum and the extremities of its branches are
the forehead and the occiput. The forehead being positive and the
occiput negative.
From this it follows that in the human body, from the extremities of
the feet to the summit of the head, all the right side is positive and
the left side negative, and from the forehead to the perineum all the
forepart of the body is positive, while the opposite or back part, from
the occiput to the perineum is negative. The Human body possesses other
polary axes of less importance.
