 The magnetizer, sitting on a little higher seat, before his face, and at about a foot distant ... holds the thumbs of the patient, and remains in this position until he feels that the same degree of heat is established between the thumbs of that person and his own.Then he draws off his hands in turning them outwards, and places them upon the shoulders for nearly a minute.Afterwards he carries them down slowly, by a sort of friction very light, along the arms, down to the extremities of the fingers.
