Hypnotism Daily Helpful Hints

The harmlessness of hypnosis is as firmly established as it could be. Nevertheless, no matter how small the danger of the trance may be, caution should not be forgotten, the more so that, in case the practician is accused by a subject or his relative-rightly or wrongly-of having done him some physical, moral or financial damage, public opinion is sure to be antagonistic to the practician.

Therefore, I recommend the following simple rules of caution

1. Never to attempt the practice of hypnosis before one has made a thorough and minute
study of the field;
2. Never to hypnotize unless one is a physician, psychologist or educator;
3. To avoid superfluous public demonstrations of the art of suggestion;
4. To practice hypnosis only as an essential part ofscientific research;
