The author's brochure is a revision of his article "On the Medical Significance of Hypnosis" published in 1894. In the present edition, the author has made some additions, based on the latest observations. In his work, the author is primarily concerned with clarifying the issue of the essence of hypnosis and, on the basis of his personal observations, is inclined more in favor of a view of hypnosis, as a special modification of normal sleep, caused by well-known principles. In terms of the strength and degree of development, various states of hypnosis can be fully likened to various degrees of natural sleep.
