Abstract: Wolfart presents his own views on animal magnetism and its implications
through the discussion of a a contemporary controversy between Hufeland
and Stieglitz. Hufeland was the head of the Prussian Commission that
had authorized Wolfart to visit Mesmer. The Commission concluded that
mesmeric healing was a real phenomenon, while Stieglitz was more
skeptical.
