That I may further confirm my Assertion, I say likewise, that there are many things to be found in Physick, which yield and manifest their workings supernaturally in a Magnetical way, operating only by an attractive spiritual power which is attracted to it by the Air; for the Air is the Medium between the Physick and the Hurt or Distemper, even as the Magnet ever doth direct and turn it self towards its Polestar, though the star be many thousand Miles distant from it, yet the spiritual operation and sympathy between them is so prevalent, that it is attracted together at so vast a distance by the Medium or middle Band of the Air; but because this attractive power is only known unto people in general, or as a thing common, it is therefore become customary, and is so esteemed, there being no notice taken of any further Secret whence this operative Faculty hath its Source or Original: In like manner Hurts and Distempers may be healed and cured, though the Patient and Physitian be very far distant one from the other; not by Charmes, Exorcismes, or other unlawful prohibited means, which are opposite to God and Nature, but by such means wherein the attractive Magnetick Virtue lies to accomplish it.

"I have said that he had many friends; but he experienced a still greater happiness, that of never losing one of them. He had also another happiness: it was the knowing how to love them all so well, that none ever complained of the share he received, even while seeing that of the others.

Je sers d'entreprete entre le M. de Choiseul et Me sa femme. My love to George. I hope that le Chateau de ses ancetres a pour lui des charmes. I read a great deal of the Howards in Pennant's book.
But I seem to remember that those with whom he talked were M. Francis Charmes, then a writer on the staff of the Debats, and afterward the editor of the Revue des deux Mondes in succession to M. Brunetiere; and M. Gaston Paris, the brilliant head of French philology at the College de France.
But since I had asked so much about the fighting my commandant promised to take me in the afternoon to the point where the struggle had been fiercest, still farther to the south, where all the hills break down and there is a natural gateway from Germany into France, the beginning of the famous Charmes Gap, through which the German road to Paris from the east ran, and still runs.
She consented; but, even as she did so, she was still faithful to Zamore. 'Sa foi me fut promise, she declared to Don Gusman, 'il eut pour moi des charmes. Il m'aima: son trépas me coûte encore des larmes: Vous, loin d'oser ici condamner ma douleur, Jugez de ma constance, et connaissez mon coeur.
