He also discusses the use of mesmerism in treating various medical conditions such as paralysis and mental illness. The book provides a detailed account of Esdaile's experiments and successes with mesmerism, as well as his observations on the cultural attitudes towards the practice in India. Overall, Mesmerism in India and its Practical Application in Surgery and Medicine offers a unique insight into the history of medical practices in India and the use of mesmerism in the field of medicine.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
