Mental Healers narrates the life-history, describes the practices of three such doctor-priests?the discoverers of Mesmerism, Christian Science, Psychoanalysis. Franz Anton Mesmer (1733-1814) started the snowball rolling with a bit of magnetized iron. In 1774 Maximilian Hell, astronomer of the Society of Jesus, fashioned a magnet which, on application, cured a lady's stomach trouble. Mesmer tried similar tricks with Hell magnets himself; to his amazement they worked. An enormous practice sprang up at Mesmer's Vienna home. Soon, however, he discovered that the magnet was unnecessary, that he could cure his patients by merely touching them...

This year is both the British Association's 100th birthday and the 100th anniversary of Michael Faraday's discovery of electromagnetism. Faraday (1791-1867)* found that a magnet induced an electric current in a wire, that an electric current in a. wire magnetized a piece of iron. From the complementary relation ship of magnetism and electricity came the dynamo, a multitude of other de vices, and a new tempo to civilization...
...rostrum being at the centre of one of the longer sides. Behind the rostrum is a stately backdrop for the show, a wall against which brown columns stand like sentinels with ornate Corinthian caps. Around the other three sides of the room galleries rise tier on tier. A magnet for every eye is the great green-&-gold Voting Urn. As everyone knows, Aristide Briand, twelve times Prime Minister of France, Foreign Minister for the past six years,- "Man of Locarno," winner of the Nobel Peace Prize (1926), co-author of the Kellogg-Briand Peace Pact, author of the scheme...
...take materials which he reasoned might contain eka-iodine. Since eka-iodine would be a halide like fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine, only heavier, he used seawater, fluorite and other halogen compounds. He burned each of them and sent their complex light through a polariscope and then through a magnetic field. A magnet twists polarized light to a calculable extent. The fineness of this magneto-optic rotation is such that it can detect one part of a substance in 100 billion parts. The greatest amount of eka-iodine Dr. Allison could find in any of his substances was one part...
