Experiments in Phreno Magnetism in Extraordinary Cans
From the Philadelphia Enquirer a long account describes Dr. Buchanan of Louisville and experiments in Phreno Magnetism. The piece details the process, observations of head organs, and noted responses during a sleep-like state, with reflections on Mesmerism, phrenology, and the credibility of such demonstrations. It also discusses Catlin the artist and Indian tribes, including Mandans and Comanches, and critiques Western depopulation and cultural loss. The article blends sensational scientific curiosity with passages on Native American life and frontier history.
