The famous experiments performed
many years ago by DIR, Esdaile, in which
that well known surgeon operated on
Hindoos during what was called mes
meric sleep, are now being repeated. and
with, it is said, successful result. The
latest news we have of an operation
under the mesmeric trance is from Paris,
where, in the Hotel Dieu, young wo-
man is stated to have been subjected by
DR.. Mesnet to a painful cutting opera
tion "of the class called dangerous and
requiring great delicacy of manipula-
tion," she being at the time wholly in
sensible to pain, showing no sign Of suf-
fering, and awakening" not from an
anasthetic of the ordinary kind, but
from a mesmeric sleep, ''wholly oblivi-
Gus to what had taken place" We
want the full particulars of this opera
tion before any satisfactory expression
can be offered in respect to it; but we
may say at once that similar results
have often been reported with little after
effect in the advancement of the sup
posed practice of anesthesia by mes
merism. The phenomena are excep.
tional They are usually observed in
persons of hysterical type, and offering
for the moment the greatest hope, are
quashed quickly by the miserable fail
ures with which they are attended SC
soon as the mesmeric plan is applied to
patients at large The fact is that an
esthesia differs according to constitu-
ton, not largely, but in some instances
exceptionally, to degree little under
stood by the public generally. There is
a form of hysterical anasthesia just as
there is of hysterical hyperasthesia
and when the representatives of the first
class come under the hands of the mes
merist they are such perfect specimens
for his suasion that they give him the
most triumphant returns These case
call for special study in regard to an
esthesia, since until they are elucidatet
there can be no sound progress. W.
would give an earnest warning on thi
matter of mesmeric hypnotism, assuring
our readers that they must not expec
more from it than exceptional results
and these due not to true anasthesia
but to individual popularity
