Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ... or one tending to prove his lucidity, to your somnambulist. Speak to him solely of his disease, -direct all his attention to the means to be adopted for the restoration of his health. His cure is your essential object--never forget it for one moment."--Deleuze. The well authenticated facts of persons who, on being mesmerised, have passed into this state, and have then described the nature of their malady and the remedies to be pursued, and who, in strictly following them out, have been perfectly cured, are so numerous that I regret space will not allow me to quote further directions. I must therefore refer you to "Practical Instructions on Mesmerism, by Deleuze." CHAPTER VII. DEMESMERISING, OR AWAKENING PROCESSES. I have shown how simple is the process for producing the mesmeric state; the demesmerising, or awakening process is still more so. You have merely to place the back of the hands together, near to the eyes of the patient, with the fingers pointing at them, then to draw the hands sharply and suddenly away to the right and the left; repeat this process until the patient opens his eyes. These are called transverse passes, and should be made from the head to the feet and over every part of the body you wish to demesmerise. Blowing sharply into the eyes, or on the head, has the same effect; and that the influence may be entirely dispersed, raise a current of air by quickly waving a handkerchief around him. The quick upward passes will also waken; but with some patients they cause headache, &c, and are therefore not desirable. If the case be urgent, pour cold water on the palms of the hands, or apply a piece of linen, saturated with water, to the nape of the neck. These applications will be found to have the effect, but they will...
