Mind and body; hypnotism and suggestion applied in therapeutics and education
A 1899 self-published Chicago book by Alvan Cavala Halphide on hypnotism and suggestion as applied to therapy and education, aimed at practitioners and students of mind-cure methods. Its photographs are plain studio portraits in grey tones, showing demonstration poses such as subjects seated rigidly on chairs and a hand-passing trick, plus a mesmeric-looking woman with clasped hands and a sleeping figure draped across a chair, useful for designers wanting period staged-trance imagery.
