James Stanley Grimes was one of the most important American writers on animal magnetism. Grimes maintained that the effects of mind on matter and of mind upon mind occurred through a medium he called the 'etherium.' "The study of the way in which the etherium conveys impressions from one mind to another and the way in which these impressions are channeled through the physical organism he calls 'etherology.'" See Crabtree. Grimes' "Etherology" was first published in Boston and New York 1845. This second edition is revised and edited.

John Haslam 1764-1844 was an Apothecary or Medical Officer at Bethlem Hospital Bedlam and afterwards the Governor of St. Luke's Hospital. Haslam was one of the most knowledgeable practitioners in his field. However according to Hunter and Macaplpine his attitudes toward patients were rather "harsh and unfeeling." In 1816 scandals arose over poor patient care at Bethlem Hospital and Haslam was dismissed from his position perhaps unfairly. The "Observations on Madness" was first published in 1798. Haslam however considered the second edition with its many additions to be his magnum opus. It remained the standard work for a number of years. Hunter and Macalpine pp. 632-39. <br/> <br/> J.
