  	diseased conditions. The great difference between vol-
 3	untary and involuntary mesmerism is that vol-	                               Wrong-doer
  	untary mesmerism is induced consciously and	                               should suffer 
  	should and does cause the perpetrator to suffer, while self-
 6	mesmerism is induced unconsciously and by his mistake
  	a man is often instructed. In the first instance it is under-
  	stood that the difficulty is a mental illusion, while in the
 9	second it is believed that the misfortune is a material effect. 
  	The human mind is employed to remove the illusion in
  	one case, but matter is appealed to in the other. In real-
12	ity, both have their origin in the human mind, and can be
  	healed only by the divine Mind.
