Excerpt from Hypnotism and Suggestion in Therapeutics, Education, and Reform The volume here presented does not assume to be a systematic treatise upon hypnotism, nor even upon its therapeutic uses; for that the works of Bernheim, Moll, Wetterstrand, Tuckey, and others may suffice - but there are certain phases of hypnotism which seem to the author to be of special interest and present importance, and it is for the purpose of distinctly presenting these special phases that the following chapters have been prepared. Hypnotism to the medical profession has not been a specially welcome guest, either in England or America; it has been neglected, misunderstood, and misjudged; indeed the time for fully appreciating the effects of mental states upon physical conditions, and of one mind upon another, has only newly arrived.
