Hypnotism—What Is It?

By Augustin J. Bourdeau

By Augustin J. Bourdeau.

WORDS OF TRUTH SERIES, No. 28.

One of the Most Timely Tracts Ever Published.

HE TRACT “HYPNOTISM—WHAT IS IT?” Gives in full the meaning of the term hypnotism, contains the history of this false science, tells what it really is, and shows the relation between hypnotism and Spiritualism—two great last-day delusions.

The following are a few of the many names under which hypnotism is presented to allure the people in these modern times: “A new revelation in self-culture,” “the triumph of modern thought,” “the philosophy of success,” “mental culture,” “personal magnetism,” “the great healer of the future,” “the key to power,” “that silent, mysterious force,” “the science of the century.”

Advertisements of hypnotism are to be found in nearly all the magazines and current literature of to-day. The arch-deceiver is working with lying powers, and wonders, knowing that he has but a short time; and, if it were possible, would deceive the very elect. He is deceiving thousands upon thousands of people by means of this modern false science.

This new tract, “Hypnotism—What Is It?” should be circulated everywhere by the tens of thousands. A copy of it should be placed in the hands of every minister, lawyer, doctor, and teacher in your neighborhood, and also in the hands of your neighbors and friends. Eternity alone will reveal the results of scattering this tract, thereby enlightening the minds of both parents and children on the subject of hypnotism.

The tract contains 48 pages, and goes easily into an ordinary six-inch envelope, the size being 3⅛ x 5⅝ inches. Large type and clear print. Price, three cents.
