The subject of hypnotism was res
cucd from the charlatans, rechristenuu
and subjected to accurate investigation
by DR.. James Braid of Manchester as
early as 1871. But his results, after
attracting momentary attention, fell
from view, and, despite desultory eff
forts, the subject was not again ac-
corded a general hearing from the sci
entitic world until 1878, when DR.
Charcot took it up ut the Salpetriere in
Paris, followed soon afterward by Dr.
Rudolf Of Heidenhan of BreSlau and n
host of other eXpermenters. The value
Of the method in the study of mental
states was soon apparent.
Most of Braid's experiments were re-
peated, and in the main his results
were confirmed. His explanation of
hypnOtism, or artificial somnambulism,
as Il self induced state, Independent of
any occult or supersensible influence,
soon gained general credence. His be-
lief that the initial stages are due to
fatigue of nervous centers, usually
from excessive stimulation, has not
been supplanted, though supplemented
by notions growing out of the new
knowledge as to subconscious mental
ity in general and the inhibitory infiu
ence of one center over another in the
central nervous mechanism.-Harp
