Summary:

The Nancy treatment (Treatment by Suggestion, or the hypnosis-centered school of psychotherapy) has during the last few years attracted so much interest among men of science and members of the medical profession on the Continent, that it seems strange the knowledge of it in this country is almost entirely theoretical. The fact that the second edition of 'Psychotherapeutics' was exhausted within two years of the first appearance of the book affords at once an indication of the interest with which hypnotism is regarded, and a justification for the issue of a new and larger edition. The increased size of the present volume is due to the wish many persons have expressed for a book dealing more fully with the theory of Psycho-therapeutics, and it is hoped that the additional matter will be found to throw some light on the subject. I have endeavoured to treat the question with fairness and frankness, and I shall consider myself well rewarded if I have succeeded in putting it before my medical readers in such a shape as to induce them to make trial of hypnotic suggestion.
