Franz Anton Mesmer(1734-1815) , an Austrian physician who practiced in Paris , discovered that by applying magnets to a diseased body , he could cure that disease miraculously . He also performed cures with various other pieces of glass and  metal . Later , he abandoned the use of these objects in favor of passing his hand over the patient's body .

Other physicians , jealous of Mesmer's success , claimed that all his healing were due to suggestion and nothing else.
