powerful tonic invigorant every morning and evening for a few months; but in cases of passional and love-starvation not thus induced, the only cure is to be found in firmly resisting the terrible temptation to guilt and suicide, and a strong will and attractive daily exercise. The influence will go forth, and, although this idea may be laughed at by those ignorant of the soul and its laws, will bring to the soul the love it wants and sighs for. And yet it necessitates that you love, be lovely, lovable, and loving. My limits preclude the amplification of this subject. I am induced to thus notify people, because the vast majority of diseases spring from causes that experience has most abundantly and triumphantly demonstrated can be removed. Many people of both sexes often experience a terrible attraction toward another, that resembles, but is not love. On the contrary, it is a fearful, monstrous passion, and they almost vainly struggle to escape it. Such persons are vampyrized, and a vampyre is a person born love-hungry, who have none themselves, who are empty of it, but who fascinate and literally suck others dry who do have love in their natures.

This dislike becomes in many cases so strong that the parties cannot endure each other's presence; and separation becomes inevitable, neither perhaps conscious of the true cause.
