Howard L. Page Dual Mind

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Uman knowledge, pitifully narrow and small, is to-day grappling with a problem which promises in its results to vastly expand the powers of mankind, although at present but dimly understood. Hypnotism is no longer the plaything of Charlatans but a science, recognized as such by the highest authorities and deemed of such importance that the greatest universi ties of Europe and America have founded chairs for its study. Mental suggestion in medicine takes its place to-day as one of the greatest weapons in the armory of the physician. In Paris a great hospital is conducted solely along the lines of hypnotic treatment, and the most emi nent doctors of the civilized world willingly adopt and countenance methods which a couple of generations ago would have branded them as impostors. The purpose of this book is to give a broad, general view of hypnotism with its allied sciences: what it is, what it can accomplish, and what its study may mean to the average man and woman.
