Prayer, Not Mesmerism.


"Several people have maintained that her work was one of mesmerism; and

when once she was asked to visit an out patient, she earnestly implored

the Lord _not_ to heal this invalid through her means if she employed

mesmerism; but if not, to permit recovery. The woman was cured in a

short time, though Dorothea had never entered her house, and had,

therefore, no opportunity of placing herself in a mesmeric relation to

this patient."
