Numerous Causes Of Surgical Operation Without Pain In The Mesmeric State is a book written by John Elliotson in 1843. The book explores the phenomenon of mesmeric anesthesia, a form of hypnosis that was believed to render patients insensitive to pain during surgical procedures. Elliotson was a British physician who was interested in the use of mesmerism (now known as hypnosis) as a medical treatment. He believed that mesmeric anesthesia could be a safer and more effective alternative to traditional anesthesia methods.In this book, Elliotson presents case studies of patients who underwent surgical procedures while in a mesmeric state. He describes the various techniques used to induce the state, such as passes over the body and verbal suggestions. He also discusses the different types of surgeries that were performed, including amputations and dental procedures.Elliotson argues that mesmeric anesthesia is not only effective but also has fewer side effects than traditional anesthesia methods. He also addresses the skepticism and criticism that the use of mesmerism as a medical treatment faced at the time.Overall, Numerous Causes Of Surgical Operation Without Pain In The Mesmeric State is a fascinating historical document that sheds light on the early use of hypnosis in medicine. It provides insight into the beliefs and practices of 19th-century physicians and the challenges they faced in introducing new medical treatments.With Remarks Upon The Opposition Of Many Members Of The Royal Medical And Chirurgical Society And Others To The Reception Of The Inestimable Blessings Of Mesmerism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
