Mesmerism In India And Its Practical Application In Surgery And Medicine

About the Book: - The author narrates that how a new and powerful means of alleviating human suffering can be experienced among the natives of Bengal. To what extent other varieties of mankind are capable of benefiting by this natural curative power. He feels that criticism will be chiefly expended upon a careful examination of the alleged facts, and their practical application to the improvement of Surgery and Medicine. By chronic treatment is meant daily mesmerizing without the intention of entrancing the patient, which is not necessary. What the author now offer to the public is the result of only eight months mesmeric practice, in a country charity hospital, but it has been sufficient to demonstrate the singular and most beneficial influence that Mesmerism exerts over the constitution of the people of Bengal, and that painless surgical operations, and other medical advantages, are their natural birthright, out of this, they will be no longer deprived. The subject of the book is very delicate. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. The book is immensely beneficial to readers. About the Author: - James Esdaile, a Scottish surgeon, who served for twenty years with the East India Company, is a notable figure in the history of mesmerism. Esdaile is thought by many to have been a pioneer in the use of hypnosis for surgical anaesthesia in the era immediately prior to James Young Simpson's discovery of chloroform. However, Esdaile had studied neither hypnotism nor Mesmerism himself. Although some would trace the practice of hypnotherapy back to Faria, Gassner, and Hell, it is conventional to trace what we now know as hypnotism back to the Scottish surgeon James Braid's reaction to a public exhibition of mesmeric techniques given by Charles Lafontaine in Manchester on 13 November 1841.
