The following letter from Dr. H. Garasse, of Calais, will explain:"En Juin, 1870, dans un chateau des environs de Calais, est un "phenomene tres curieux que est la plus belle preuve du systeme ecrite "par le tres honorable Dr. Collyer, 'la Photographic Vitale.' Une "femelle des lapins, pleine depuis quelques jours, fut enferme pendant "un temps de pluie dans une etable; quelques minutes apres fut in"troduit un jeune mouton. La femelle du lapin en eut une telle frayeur "qu'elle jeta des cris, se precipita contre les murs, et faillit se tuer. On "retira le mouton. Vingt-cinq jours apres cette frayeur extreme, elle mit "bas sept petits, le septieme presentant une tete de mouton et l'arriere "tronc du lapin. J'affirme sur l'honneur la veracite de ce fait, et j'en "remets au Dr. Collyer la preuve de l'affaire.

Un autre fait tout aussi curieux.

On avait debarque a Calais deux elephants venant de Londres "pour le Jardin des Plantes de Paris. Une femelle de porc (pleine) "en eut une frayeur telle qu'elle mit bas onze petites, dont le derniere "portait une trompe et les oreilles de l'elephant. J'ai donne ce phe"nomene a Monsieur Marssiat directeur de l'Ecole de Medecine de "Paris, 1851.

Dr. H. Garasse.

Calais, le 31 Decembre, 1870."

This specimen of the rabbit is in the possession of Dr. Collyer, who will be pleased to exhibit it to those interested.

Numerous other cases might be cited, showing every degree of "mental shock" being thrown by the vibratory action of the nervous molecules from the brain of the mother to the body of the offspring.

This brain transfer or embodiment, is represented in all the operations of thought. Memory is the awakening to activity of the original vibratory configurations; an accidental word, a particular odour, a sight, will cause the reminiscence of scenes and things long since thought to have been forgotten. The most insignificant occurrence will cause the brain to revert to a host of associations; it only requires that the original vibratory cord should be touched, in order to review the past with.

all the vividness of reality. In dreams this state of brain is often present.

The case of Louise Latean, reported by Dr. Lefebre of the University of Lonvain, Belgium, where the stigmata represented the conditions of the crucifixion, bleeding from the hands, feet, and forehead, is easily explained by the physiological power of the brain over the rest of the body.

Some persons have the power of mental abstraction to such an extent as to produce local effects; this condition is much favoured if accompanied by the condition of brain which is described as blind faith; it is vital photography self-induced. There are hosts of similar cases of stigmatization or marks on the body, produced by the continued action of the brain. In fine, as this organ is the grand seat of the whole nervous system from which all parts of the body are supplied with voluntary motion and sensation, it is not astonishing that its continued undivided action, when directed to a special part of the body, should produce these results - the embodiment of the brain impression. This state of brain would be more effective if an hereditary predisposition had been received from a powerful mental abstraction of the mother during her pregnancy.

Many cases are on record in which actual stigmatizations took place from the blind faith of the person subjugated by the will power. On one occasion a coin was imaginatively rendered red hot; the mark of the burning took place. So when a piece of wood was mentally converted into a piece of ice, a chilblain followed.

The author of these pages was the discoverer of the mode of inducing the state of brain known as "Electro-biology;" which should be called "Induced Mental Hallucination."

The laws of light and sound are coeval with the existence of matter itself; light is a property which permeates all matter. Our senses being formed for the conveyance of impressions to the brain in accordance with the properties or laws of light and sound, it follows that there must be perfect co-ordination or harmony. It is a question as to whether these vibratory states do not modify or give character to forms of matter. No part of the animal economy is an exception to the laws which surround us; that is, all functional exercise must be, in health, in conformity to these laws. Motion is as essential to the thinking power as it is to the existence of life. A cessation of motion is the paralysis of the one and the death of the other.

Each thought has its corresponding arrangement or configuration of nervous molecules: except these vibrations can be brought into operation the brain is inadequate to mental function.

The propagation of deformities or diseased states through many generations, is only to be accounted for by the vibratory condition of the mother's nervous system being conveyed to the child during the early periods of gestation.

What is chemical action but a specific vibratory condition of the particles of matter? What is sensation, motor power, but a special vibratory state of the nervous fluid supplying the organ? How do the kidneys secret uric acid, the liver bile, the stomach gastric juice, each having a distinct chemical character, none of which are found in the blood from which the secretion is effected, if it is not through the nervous influence? It is the disturbance of these nervous vibrations in their functional exercise which causes a diseased condition of the organs. All organic matter has a special vibratory condition; our sympathies or antipathies depend on the unison or discord of these vibrations. Who knows that it was not this electro-chemical vibratory condition of the earth, at the various stages of its development, that did not bring forth corresponding creations, from the simplest molecular germ to the highest nervous organization, as represented in man?
