CHARMS, MAGNETIC BELTS, ETC., AS
HEALING AGENTS.
All medals, charms, belts, magnets,
of whatever form or name, depend
on mental impression for the
efficacy. Aside from this they have no value.
The best of all "charms" to wear is
light and healthful clothing; garments that do not in any way bind or
fetter the free movement of every muscle and organ. To this "charm" add
healthful food, pure, fresh air, generous exercise, and if
health and strength are not restored,
they will be looked for elsewhere in vain.
These articles, which have been and are
so highly lauded in flaming advertisements, are one and all constructed in
defiance of all established principles of magnetic force. We are
constantly acted on by the tremendous magnetism of the earth, to which
anything in the shape of belts and soles would be unperceivable. There is
not the least evidence that these appliances are beneficial or, in fact,
that magnetism has any value in the bodily economy.
The idea of charms, the potency of
relies, etc., originated in the ages of ignorance. Psychometry has shown
that there is an influence, an aura surrounding every object, and this
might affect those who are sensitive. Very few, however, are impressible
to such slight influences. Charms, medals, "highly magnetized" amulets,
etc., are all rubbish handed down from an ignorant age, and why they are
advertised in Spiritual papers, with astrology, fortune-telling and seers
"born with a veil," and "seventh sons or daughters," is passing strange,
and shows how hard superstitions die.
