This is communication, discharge—to be carefully distinguished in the case from induction, the former being an odic form of activity, the latter a mode of influencing other bodies peculiar to magnets.
A man of high-sensitivity is always a restless being, literally a mauvais coucheur, and must be so from his very nature. He is continually charging all his clothes with an od from his own body that is polarically like to that of the part they cover. The clothes and the parts of the body act and react upon each other with charges of “like” character, and produce the sickly warmth complained of. Thus the sensitive always feels worried when he keeps still, and only finds relief when in movement and getting rid of his od into the air. The consequence is that he can only bear very light clothing; everything he wears always seems too much for him. Though he change his position and his occupation continually, he is subject to an unceasing sense of oppression.
Make up conductors of sulfur, glass, silk, resin, India-rubber, or any idio-electrical substance you please, and they will all conduct od just as well as the metals do. For this dynamid there is no isolator.
