Another interesting possibility lies in the field of abortion, where the intended results should be obtainable with greater ease and safety to the patient by means of hypnosis than with the help of drugs and surgery. Nor is this really surprising. As H. F. Dunbar reports, the connection between the mental state and the resulting abortion has been known for years. Kohts commented upon it, in referring to the great number of abortions and miscarriages during the bombardment of Strassburg. Baudelocque noticed the same phenomenon, when 92 cases of abortion came to him for treatment immediately after the explosion of a powder tower. Kalichmann, Schaeffer, Mayer, S. H. Prince, and others made similar observations. Obviously, the period of pregnancy is easily affected, from beginning to end, by emotion as well as by suggestion.
