Animal Magnetism or Mesmerism and Its Phenomena by William Gregory is a comprehensive exploration of the theory and practice of mesmerism, a form of alternative medicine developed by Franz Mesmer in the 18th century. The book delves into the history of mesmerism, its principles and techniques, and the various phenomena associated with it, such as hypnotism, clairvoyance, and telepathy. Gregory also examines the controversies surrounding mesmerism, including its scientific validity and its potential dangers. Drawing on his own experiences as a physician and mesmerist, as well as the work of other practitioners and researchers, Gregory provides a detailed and engaging account of this fascinating subject. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of alternative medicine, psychology, and the human mind.1909. This subject is not one to be played or trifled with and a word of caution by Oxon is given to those who may propose to follow out an experimental study of mesmeric phenomena on his own responsibility. Dealing as is does with obscure conditions of the whole being, it presents various difficulties and not a few dangers to the inexperienced or rash experimenter. Harm may easily be done to the unconscious patient, and unmerited obloquy may be cast on the study of the subject by experiments ignorantly conducted. With simple knowledge and ordinary care the course is clear, and danger need not be apprehended; but delicate states of the sensitive patient do not fitly lend themselves to experiments on the part of the merely curious and uninstructed investigator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
