The Salem witchcraft, The planchette mystery, and Modern spiritualism

Chapter 13

It has long met with the approval of the press and the people, and as a means of introducing the JOURNAL and extending an interest in the subject, we have prepared a new =Phrenological Chart=. This is a handsome lithograph of a symbolical head, in which the relative location of each of the organs is shown by special designs ill.u.s.trating the function of each in the human mind.

These sketches are not simply outlines, as shown above, but many of them are little gems of artistic design and coloring in themselves, and will help the student to locate the faculties and to impress his mind with a correct idea of their prime functions.

For instance, =Combativeness= is represented by a scene in a lawyer"s office, where a disagreement has led to an angry dispute; =Secretiveness= is shown by a picture of the cunning fox attempting to visit a hen-roost by the light of the moon; the teller"s desk in a bank represents =Acquisitiveness=; a butcher"s shop is made to stand for =Destructiveness=; the familiar scene of the "Good Samaritan" exhibits the influence of =Benevolence=; =Sublimity= is pictured by a sketch of the grand scenery of the Yosemite Valley.

The Chart also contains a printed Key, giving the names and definitions of the different faculties. The whole picture is very ornamental, and must prove a feature of peculiar attraction wherever it is seen; nothing like it for design and finish being elsewhere procurable.

It is mounted with rings for hanging on the wall, and will be appropriate for the home, office, library, or school. The head itself is about twelve inches wide, beautifully lithographed in colors, on heavy plate paper, about 19 x 24 inches. Price, $1.00. It is published and offered as a special premium for subscribers to the =Phrenological Journal= for 1885. To those who prefer it, we will send the Phrenological Bust as a premium. The Journal is published at $2.00 a year, with 15 cents extra required when the Chart or Bust is sent.

Single Number, 20 cents. Address
