{Animal magnetism}, a force, more or less analogous to
magnetism, which, it has been alleged, is produced in
animal tissues, and passes from one body to another with
or without actual contact. The existence of such a force,
and its potentiality for the cure of disease, were
asserted by Mesmer in 1775. His theories and methods were
afterwards called mesmerism, a name which has been
popularly applied to theories and claims not put forward
by Mesmer himself. See {Mesmerism}, {Biology}, {Od},
{Hypnotism}.
{Terrestrial magnetism}, the magnetic force exerted by the
earth, and recognized by its effect upon magnetized
needles and bars.
