The Application of Magnetic Healing: A General Treatment: You must first learn what is meant by giving a gen- eral treatment, which must precede the specific treatment for the different diseases which will be mentioned hereafter. Remember that this general treatment is to be used upon every patient at the beginning of every treatment; whether you take a case for one treatment only or for daily treatment for a month, you must al- ways begin work by giving this general treatment, proceeding from this to the specific treatment for the particular disease you are called upon to treat. Having questioned your patient first as to his symptoms and habits of life, paying particular attention as to whether he is suffering from constipation among other things, proceed to rub the hands briskly together and obtain the feeling of heat and warmth in the palms and fingers concerning which you have been already instructed. Now if your patient can come to see you, it is very evident that he can sit up in a chair and you therefore will dispose him comfortably in a chair in which the back is slightly off the angle of the perpendicular, making him as comfortable as possible. The idea is to make him rest by which means he will be more thoroughly passive to your influence.
