A43447 The art of curing sympathetically, or magnetically, proved to be most true by its theory and practice exemplified by several cures performed that way: with a discourse concerning the cure of madness, and an appendix to prove the reality of sympathy : also an account of some cures perform'd by it in London / written originally in Latin by H.M. Herwig ...; Ars curandi sympathetice sive magnetice. English Herwig, H. M. (Henning Michael). 1700 (1700) Wing H1604; ESTC R21531 59,613 172

that_o mutual_o act_v upon_o each_o other_o in_o different_a way_n whether_o it_o be_v by_o assist_v corroborate_n attract_v drive_v away_o incline_v by_o aversion_n destroy_v and_o change_v either_o

of_o attraction_n as_o sympathy_n do_v yet_o be_v neither_o the_o magnet_n or_o the_o pole_n affect_v with_o each_o other_o affection_n as_o be_v say_v before_o therefore_o also_o when_o sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o love_n and_o hatred_n that_o be_v only_o a_o mistake_n and_o not_o strict_o and_o philosophical_o speak_v and_o this_o be_v especial_o to_o be_v
