CHAPTER VI
5/36

It is not _inconceivable_ that living minds may communicate by some other channel than that of the recognised senses.
Science now admits the fact of hypnotic influence, though, sixty years ago, Braid was not allowed to read a paper on it before the British Association.

Even now the topic is not welcome.
