PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION

ANIMAL

MAGNETISM,

Animal Magnetism: A theory popularized by Franz Mesmer in the late 18th century. It suggested that an invisible natural force or "fluid" existed within all living beings and could be channeled by a practitioner to restore health.

BY J.-P.-F. DELEUZE;

Joseph-Philippe-François Deleuze (1753–1835) was a naturalist at the National Museum of Natural History in Paris. Unlike some of the more flamboyant practitioners of his time, Deleuze was respected for his scientific discipline and his focus on the ethical responsibility of the "magnetizer."
