The mind exercises a powerful influence over the body.
From the beginning of time, the sorcerer, the interpreter of dreams, the
fortune-teller, the charlatan, the quack, the wild medicine-man, the educated
physician, the mesmerist, and the hypnotist have made use of the client's
imagination to help them in their work. They have all recognized the potency
and availability of that force.

Going to the fortune teller's was just as good as going
to the opera, and the cost scarcely a trifle more - ergo, I will disguise
myself and go again, one of these days, when other amusements fail.
