The group of powers manifesting themselves in the phenomena which have been variously named--according to the theoretical interpretation given them by various cults--as spirit healing, Christian Science, mesmeric healing, hypnotic treatment, and suggestive therapeutics, may, with one group of exceptions, conveniently be classified under the heading of "mental healing." These exceptions occur through the unconscious stimulation of physical vital force (prana) and usually lead to cures which are such in name only for they do not last long and are followed by a relapse into illness.
