Natural and Mesmeric Clairvoyance: With the Practical Application of Mesmerism in Surgery and Medicine is a book written by James Esdaile, a Scottish surgeon who practiced in India during the mid-19th century. The book explores the use of mesmerism, a form of hypnosis, in surgical and medical procedures. Esdaile believed that mesmerism could be used to induce a state of clairvoyance in patients, allowing them to see into their own bodies and diagnose their own illnesses. He also believed that mesmerism could be used as a form of anesthesia during surgery, reducing the need for traditional methods like chloroform. The book includes case studies and examples of successful surgeries performed using mesmerism, as well as instructions for practitioners interested in using the technique themselves. Overall, Natural and Mesmeric Clairvoyance provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of medical practices and the development of alternative therapies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
