To Dr Esdaile the marvel lay in Mesmerism. The Society felt that in the times to come man shall be able to help himself through mesmerism and be able to control pain and restore health while he is in a normal waking condition. The author experimented it successfully among the natives?of?Bengal James Esdaile commissioned the duty of editing the case studies presented in this book to his brother David Esdaile, who did so on the basis?of?long?correspondences?mailed?to?him?by?Dr?James?from?India.
