Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mysterious world of magnetism and its connection to the human body. The author, a scientist renowned for his discoveries in chemistry, challenges conventional thinking about the nature of life itself. He argues that magnetism, often considered a purely physical phenomenon, exerts a profound influence on living organisms, particularly those in states of illness or heightened sensitivity. The author presents a series of carefully documented experiments that illustrate the effects of magnets on various individuals, ranging from healthy to those suffering from ailments like epilepsy, paralysis, and sleepwalking. He observes that some individuals, termed "sick sensitives," exhibit unique reactions to magnetic fields, experiencing sensations of warmth, cold, or even pain. These observations led him to believe that a previously unknown force, which he names "od," is responsible for these phenomena. This force, the author argues, permeates the entire universe and may hold the key to understanding the very essence of life. Building upon the work of earlier pioneers like Mesmer, whose theories on "animal magnetism" were dismissed by many in the scientific community, the author proposes a new framework for understanding the intricate relationship between the physical and the metaphysical. His work, bold and controversial in its time, promises to illuminate a hidden dimension of reality and inspire a new era of scientific inquiry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. …

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. First Complete English Edition. Octavo (8vo), pp. xx (preface), xii (author's preface to the 2nd edition), 609. Complete with textual woodcuts and the large folding black and white lithographic plate detailing early "Odic" energy spectra. Highly Important Association & Provenance Copy: Features a neat vintage pencil ownership inscription to the front pastedown reading: "C. D. Thomas, bought Dec 3rd 1917," alongside further historical pencil research notations to the rear endpapers. Reverend Charles Drayton Thomas (1867-1953) was a foundational leading member of the Society for Psychical Research (SPR), famed for his empirical studies into mental mediumship and survival after death. Crucially, the 1917 wartime acquisition date catches Thomas at the absolute peak of his psychical library expansion. Accompanied by the same early circular ink stamp bearing the acronym 'A.S.A.P.', denoting a direct link to an early psychical research fraternity or library collection. Condition Report: A candidate for restoration or archival boxing, presented in Poor condition externally, but with a remarkably clean core. The original cloth binding is heavily sunned, showing expected historical chipping, small tears, and minor loss to the top and tail of the spine; the cloth over the spine panel is currently split and half-detached. The rear board is completely detached, and the internal block shows a distinct structural crack between pages x and xi of the initial preface. Despite these external structural faults, the text block remains complete, and the individual internal pages are surprisingly bright, crisp, and completely unblemished throughout. The crucial folding plate is securely intact. A monumentally important work in the history of 19th-century alternative science and occult physics. Baron von Reichenbach dedicated his life to isolating a universal vital force he termed the Odic Force, arguing that this subtle energetic field was emitted by magnets, crystals, and the human body. This English translation by the spiritualist physician Dr John Ashburner became an immediate cornerstone of the British mesmeric movement. An exceptional, highly important archive specimen.…
