mesmerism, copying Mesmer’s techniques and applying them
diligently. In those days the mortality rate in surgery was around fifty
percent. Esdaile reduced this figure to eight percent by the use of his
techniques, and his patients recovered more quickly and easily than
the average surgical cases of his day. Since then there has been a
revival in the interest of hypnosis with more scientific studies being
undertaken.
The deaths of Braid and Esdaile curbed the interest in hypnotism.
