"The activity of the organs of special sense,except the eye, may be heightened, and the power of the muscles increased. Complete insensibility to pain may be induced by hypnotism,and it has been used as an anaesthetic. It is apt to be followed by a severe headache of long continuance, and by various nervous disturbances."
"On emerging from the hypnotic state, the person hypnotized usually has no remembrance of what happened during its continuance, but in many persons such remembrance may be induced by 'suggestion'. About one person in three is susceptible to hypnotism, and those of the hysterical or neurotic tendency (but rarely the insane) are the most readily hypnotized."
