other minds either in the body or out of the body, which are themselves
invisible in the ordinary and physical sense of the term, and really
acting through some means at present very imperfectly known." This would
include hypnotism at a distance, but also perhaps spirits.

Dr. Gowers has recently (reported in the _Lancet_), in a speech at
University College, pointed out the close connection of the optic and
auditory nerves with regard to cases of deafness.

The young lady who, when an attempt at transferring the sight of a candle
to her was made, heard the word candle or something like it, the first
letter doubtful, shows that thought transfer is to the ear as well as to

have been from a mental effort to receive distinctly an inefficiently

heard the train she heard. The colour of the jug differed a little. The
distance fourteen miles. Audible speech might thus be helped by
despatching a picture of the idea from a distance. Other people must
be like Miss Campbell.[1] There must be material force in this, since a
thought heightens the temperature of the brain. But this force has its
limits of distance, &c.
