Synopsis
Excerpt from Lectures on Clairmativeness, or Human Magnetism: With an Appendix
From these experiments it is shown that the electric fluid acts upon the nerves of motion and locomotion. In the living subject, the mind is the galvanic battery which directs this fluid along the muscular nerves, con tracting them, and thus producing every movement of the body. These facts prove most conclusively that electricity is the grand agent by which all muscular action is performed in the animal frame.
We have now shown that animal heat, or magnetism, is the cause of all involuntary motion, and of all sensation in the human system; and that electricity is the cause of all muscular or voluntary motion. But here, however, we anticipate an objection.
It may be contended that electricity itself is heat. And probably this idea has grown out of the supposition that this fluid sometimes dissolves metals and sets combustible materials on fire. But it is not the electric fluid that sets combustible materials on fire - it is a highly inflammable gas, (hydrogen,) which this fluid comes in contact with, that produces these effects - and the experiment may at any time be successfully tried with the electrical machine.
