A CRIME OF MALICIOUS MESMERISM

From the April 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Editor Journal:—Unfortunately, my husband's last request as he fell, to send for no one, was disregarded and friends were sent for. Concluding that my husband had passed on, and fearing the city laws, a physician was sent for. He was bending over the body when I returned and learned what had happened in my absence.

I at first refused to acknowledge that he had passed on, denied the mortal laws that had been made for him, and treated him in Science.

Meantime, the physician had notified the city authorities, and this set in motion the usual legal processes. The idea that the case was now legally taken out of my hands, and that a coroner would soon arrive, put a pressure on my thought which I could not withstand. Disinterested witnesses of all the facts as well as those who have examined them in the science of Mind, concur in the declaration that he did not pass on for some time after my return; and that, with a little help, he could have been restored. Some of the points on which this conclusion is based, will be mentioned further on; but I take up first the indications afforded in my husband's case, of the operations of malicious animal magnetism.
