Hypnotism and Mesmerism differ from Spiritism in this, that their disciples account for the phenomena naturally and lay no claim to supernatural intervention.
Some folks keep the people in ignorance, and make them believe the moon is made of green cheese; others, with as much sense, fancy the world is. One has old saints, the other invents new ones. One places miracles at a distance, t'other makes them before their eyes, while both are up to mesmerism.
"Or impress our senses with the belief in such effects, we never having been en rapport with the person acting on us? No. What is commonly called mesmerism could not do this; but there may be a power akin to mesmerism, and superior to it, the power that in the old days was called Magic.

"True; your strong intellect detected at once the absurdity of the whole pretence, the falsity of mesmerism, the impossibility of clairvoyance." "No, my strong intellect did nothing of the kind.
"Jour printer by trade; do a little in patent medicines; theater-actor tragedy, you know; take a turn to mesmerism and phrenology when there's a chance; teach singing-geography school for a change; sling a lecture sometimes oh, I do lots of things most anything that comes handy, so it ain't work.
