PEER IN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HELP, ADVICE AND ENCOURAGEMENT PREFACE IF any excuse were needed for another book on the subject of Hypnotism and Mesmerism the best, perhaps, that could be urged would be the one of price. Although there are many books written on this very interesting subject, there are none at the popular price of ninepence. But another good reason for the writing and publication of this one is the fact that it affords a simple guide to the practice of Hypnotism, and an explanation in language easily under stood, of a subject that is generally treated far too technically. The present writer has him self experimented in Mesmerism and Hypno tism, so that the reader is assured of practical help. Use has been made in the preparation of this little work of material from the works of Heiden- hain, Bramwell, Coates and Lawrence, and acknowledgments are tendered accordingly to the authors. Readers who require a more extended survey of the subject might refer to some of the books mentioned in the bibliography on page viii of this work. These can be obtained at the prices quoted from the publishers of '' Hypnotism Simplified.''
