Braid, a Scottish surgeon and hypnotist, argues that hypnosis is a natural phenomenon that can be explained through physiological processes, rather than supernatural or mystical forces. He also provides practical advice for inducing hypnosis and using it for medical purposes, such as pain relief and anesthesia.
