Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking work, James Esdaile describes his pioneering experiments with mesmerism (hypnosis) in the context of surgical operations in India during the mid-19th century. Esdaile's work, which predated the widespread use of anesthesia, shows how mesmerism could be used to alleviate pain and facilitate surgery in an otherwise primitive medical environment. Although his methods were controversial, Esdaile's work paved the way for modern anesthesiology and pain management.

This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mesmerism in India and its Practical Application in Surgery and Medicine is authored by Dr. James Esdaile. The book is an examination of mesmerism, also known as animal magnetism, and its use in India, this title allows readers the opportunity to learn about a popular theory that never gained scientific recognition. Mesmerism is a theory based on the beliefs of German, Frank Mesmer, that a natural force exists in the world that can be manipulated to aid in medical procedures, akin to hypnotism. Author James Esdaile was a medical practitioner and a believer in the principles of mesmerism. This title is thus a detailed examination of his use of mesmerism in India for a variety of medical purposes. The book begins with a response to the critics of mesmerism, of which there were many even at the time of the work's original publication. The author proceeds to discuss the history of mesmerism, the mesmeric processes, purported outcomes of mesmeric procedures, and a detailed overview of the many specific mesmeric surgeries conducted by Esdaile, concluding with an appendix. Mesmerism in India is an interesting book about a medical practice that never gained widespread legitimacy. Esdaile has kept his writing relatively brief, which brings this title within reach of the casual reader. Whether you are drawn to this work as a skeptic or as a believer, the content will surely prove to be illuminating. James Esdaile's Mesmerism in India and its Practical Application in Surgery and Medicine is one of the few books to deal with the topic of mesmerism in detail, particularly its application in India. It is a fascinating overview of this controversial and unproven theory, and one that will delight readers interested in fringe medical procedures.

Hooghly, where my first experiments were made, being an obscure country station, I was compelled to appear frequently before the public in the invidious character of my own chronicler, or permit the important facts that fell daily under my observation to die in obscurity. I was soon saved this disagreeable task, however, by the visitors of my hospitals coming forward voluntarily in their own names to vouch for the reality of what had been reported by me. They were gentlemen of all professions, and generally strangers to me; and the reader will be able to judge from their reports how far presumed enthusiasm or partizanship had obscured my senses and judgment. The following are only a few of the letters sent to the newspapers by the visitors of my hospitals; and I take this opportunity to thank the gentlemen who have done the public and myself the justice to declare manfully what they saw. For the medical evidence, I beg leave to...
