Experiments with hypnosis in obstetrics and gynecology

Recently, in the medical literature, both Russian and foreign, more and more reports began to appear on the use for pain relief, as well as for the treatment of various diseases, hypno-suggestionin, a remedy that is far from new, but, due to some circumstances, for a long time forgotten and little researched both experimentally and clinically.
As you know, in the old days, hypnotism was shrouded in a mystical veil, it was in the hands of the majority of ignorant people who had nothing to do with science, and it was considered simply frivolous to engage in it. Subsequently, however, thanks to the research of such prominent representatives of psychiatry as Braid, Liébault, In eau ni, Bernheim, Moll, Forel and many others. others, as well as experimental work of Russian scientists, academicians I. P. Pavlov and V. M. Bekhterev, prof. V. Ya. Danilevsky and others, hypnotism was finally taken out of the limits of mysticism and, having received physiological substantiations, firmly embarked on a broad scientific path.
