I have a request to make of you which is -- Do not talk with my students on the subject of mesmerism. Your views darken them. You would not care to have others directing your patients, and know that I never interfere, even when you treat them incorrectly I go to you, never, to them, and correct you, and as I do to you I only request you to do by me

I tried your theory last summerAs Written:sumer, when like Job I was confused in the awful whirlwind of malice, but like him I learned of God not of my comfortersJob 16:1 Then Job answered and said, Job 16:2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. , the glorious way out of it all. This way is far from what you recommend and which had I pursuedAs Written:persued farther would have ended in a belief of death Your theory is what prevents you from healing your cases sooner and “darkens council by words without knowledge”Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? It is my duty to tell you this and sometime here or hereafter you will know I am right: You ought to know better than to oppose your views to mine who have gone leagues beyond this hour; your knowledge only is theory, mine is what? demonstration. I trust you receive this letter as gently and in the same spirit that I received yours last summer I shall keep a duplicate of it so no mistakes be made in reporting it.
