A complete course in 20 lessons on curing illness through magnetism. Couched in Mesmer's theory of vital magnetism and purporting to "quickly qualify the student to be a successful magnetic healer," this booklet instructs the reader to harness magnetism in the hands and eyes and direct it to the areas of another's body that are ailing. With copious illustrations the text describes methods for hypnosis, pressure point manipulation, and energy stimulation intended to relieve pain and dissipate disease.
