Treatment by Hypnotism and Suggestion

“In bringing forward this little book on Treatment by Suggestion, I feel that, though I must crave indulgence for the shortcomings of the writer, no apology is necessary for introducing so important a subject.
“The Nancy treatment has during the last few years attracted so much interest among men of science and members of the medical profession on the Continent, that it seems strange the knowledge of it in this country is almost entirely theoretical. The system of psycho-therapeutics has so far attained its fullest development in Holland, where in every large town it is followed by at least one well-qualified practitioner; while in Germany, Russia, Sweden, and, indeed, every European country, its position is secured by the support of leading physicians, and by the success attending their practice. In every country, I believe, the introduction of the system was at first opposed by persons who feared the popularization of so potent an agent; but as the beneficial results of the treatment became manifest opposition decreased, and has now almost died out. This is doubtless due chiefly to the fact that the treatment has not been allowed to fall into the hands of ignorant and unqualified practitioners, but has been accepted by men of high character and professional repute. The dangers of hypnotism have been proved chimerical: in proper hands no undesirable medical results can occur through its practice, and there is, I believe, hardly one authenticated case of its being used for a criminal purpose in the countries where it is most frequently employed by medical men. More than this can hardly be said for any system of medical treatment.
“The Nancy system has been successful on the Continent because it is practiced there by qualified physicians and surgeons, whose knowledge and experience has taught them where the treatment would be likely to succeed, and where it would prove ineffectual. I here advocate its use not as a universal remedy or as a supplanter of ordinary medical treatment, but as a powerful auxiliary in combating many forms of disease not readily reached by other means.”—Extracted from Author’s Preface

Reviews by Buyers
“The author has a very gentle approach to providing instruction and answers to our reason to believe in something bigger than ourselves.” Turquoise (Verified Buyer)
“I love Ralph Waldo Trine. So wise and compassionate. His ideas for shaping your own future are very much Law of Attraction, written in the late 1880s to early 1900s. His books are short and sweet, but also poetic. A lovely read.” YaknowhatJAZZ (Verified Buyer)
“Trine talks quite simply about the nature of the human spirit. Philosophy meets mysticism meets self- help. Although I hesitate to call it “self-help” you will find it to be a great reference for elevating your ideals and expectations of yourself. I turn to this book quite often, and I’ve had it for 5 years now. Love it. A must read.” M. Pellerin (Verified Buyer)
“This is a great book. I read a chapter (they are short) each morning to start my day. I think it is right on point.” Lenore Padden (Verified Buyer).
