Claude-Generated Themes:   Read across 1826–1829, Hermès (Paris) is a French mesmeric journal of the Restoration — dense with magnetic somnambulism and the magnetizer's fluid, and full of healing testimony (a scrofulous girl 'abandoned by the doctors' cured by the magnetiser). Despite the Hermetic title, its substance is animal magnetism as therapy and science of the somnambulic trance — the mature French mesmeric tradition in its 1820s prime.
