Hypnotism Advertisements Spreading Among the Masses
Some idea of the many avenues by which hypnotism and allied practices are spreading among the masses of the people to-day, may be had from the following advertisement, which we find printed in an exchange:— FREE BOOK ON HYPNOTISM.—Would you like to become a hypnotist, and be able to cast a magic spell over whom you will? You can learn this magic art in an incredibly short time, during your leisure hours. (Think of it!) When you are master of the grand science of hypnotism, your value to yourself and others will be immeasurably increased. It makes you interesting, fascinating, convincing, either in business or society. You can overcome domestic trouble with contentment and happiness. You can make stingy persons liberal. You can mold the minds of men and women, and control their very existence. You can dispel, as if by magic, your own ill luck, misfortune, and unhappiness, and that of others. You can strengthen your will-power and intellect. You can control a subject hundreds of miles away. You can be the central magnet at any social gathering, and mystify and uproariously entertain your friends. You can hypnotize a dozen people at a time. You can make wealthy but obdurate relatives to make you heir to what you deserve. The price of this wonderful book is ten cents, which sum will more than pay for all the good, but comes infinitely short of measuring the harm, to be derived from its perusal.
