    here, that sensitives dislike sitting with the back towards the west or east. When riding backward in those directions they become ill, or faint away. No chair, no lounge, should be placed so that a person sitting on it turns his back, e. g., the od-negative part of the body, toward the negative point of the compass. One should always be seated so as to turn one's face west or south. The sensitive will fare worst when seated towrards the east, because in this case he is under the double influence of like-named combinations ; his od-positive left is then turned toward the od-positive north pole ; his od- negative right to the od-negative south pole. This points out the reason of the frequent fainting fits in churches, when the altar, to which the face is turned, is situated to the east. TESTIMONIALS ON OD-PREPARATIONS RESPECTING THEIR MEDICINAL POWER. Within the latest time I have given my patients homoeo- pathic od-sugar of milk instead of the homoeopathic potencies, and this with the very best success. I will here say in a few words, tliat I have noticed that the odic peculiarities, the real curing powers of medicaments, can be transferred, by a simple manipulation, across a colored glass prism, to indifferent substances ; and that by this process more powerful remedies may be obtained than by means of the common process of attenuation. Nobody pretends to say that the dynamic properties of a drug increase with the degree of attenuation; on the con- trary, I am convinced, that the substance-matter is thus farther dispersed, which, it is true, causes a large part of the force to be lost; but the remaining portion of sanative force, now liberated from the main part of the substance, has still left enough power to influence the distemper in the nervous system. No one, however, will maintain that in the drop, which passes from one dilution to the other, is concentrated the whole force ; but that rather a larger portion of the same is lost in the drop which is left behind. In my process of
