It was his investigation of psychical phenomena that made this Winnipeg doctor, MLA, and researcher well known; his séances gained some fame, and were attended by the likes of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Sir Oliver Lodge. This book was published posthumously from his manuscripts, detailing his "experiments in psychic energy, conceived on strictly scientific lines, and his conclusions from those experiments". A rare title in any edition, this is the first edition, and retains most of the jacket. .
