te his task, his
"human battery," or thought, would not be in a recipient or passive
condition, therefore your experiment would fail at that moment. Or, if
he were under heavy narcotics, liquors, tobacco, or gluttonous
influences, he could not be reached at such moments. Or, if he were
asleep, and you operated to effect a wakeful mind or thought, you
would fail again at the moment. To make a person at a distance think
of you (whether you are acquainted with him or not, matters not), I
again repeat, find out or guess at what moment he is likely to be
passive--by this I mean easy and careless; then, with the most fervent
prayer or yearning of your entire heart, mind, soul, and strength,
desire he may think of you. And if you wish him to think on any
particular topic in relation to you, it is necessary for you to press
your hands, when operating on him, on such mental faculties of your
head as you wish him to exercise towards you. This demands a meager
knowledge of Phrenology. His "feeling nature," or "propensities," you
cannot reach through these operations, but when he thinks of you (if
he does not know you, he imagines such a being as you are) he can
easily afterwards be controlled by you, and he will feel disposed to
go in the direction where you are, if circumstances permit and he is
his own master, for, remember, circumstances alter cases. I said you
cannot reach his "feeling," but only his "thinking," nature, truly,
but after he thinks of you once his "feeling nature," or propensities,
may become aroused through his own organization. In conclusion on this
topic, let me say that if you wish the person simply to think of you,
one operation may answer; but, on the contrary, if you wish him to
meet you, or go where you are, all you have to do is to persevere, in
a lawful and Christian manner, to operate, and I assure you, in the
course of all natural things--that is, if no accident or very
unfavorable circumstances occur--he will make his way towards you, and
when he comes within sight, or reaching distance of you, it will be
easy to manage him.

HOW TO CHARM THOSE WHOM YOU MEET AND LOVE.

When you desire to make any one "love" you with whom you meet,
although not personally acquainted with him, you can very readily
reach him and make his acquaintance, if you observe the foregoing
instructions in addition to the following directions: Suppose you see
him coming towards you, in an unoccupied mood, or rec
