Suffering from serious illness in the early 1840s, the writer Harriet Martineau turned to the popular alternative therapy of mesmerism. She attributed her apparent cure to this, and published this account of the treatment as a book in 1845. This reissue also includes her doctor's defence of his standard treatments.
