David K 3d This is an epidote of the series John Nesbitt's Passing Parade or The Passing Parade, an early radio show that evolved into a series of shorts, with an element of truth. This particular entry deals with Austrian Dr. Mesmer, who gave his name to the term mesmerize (hypnotism). The entry posits that Dr. Mesmer's treatments led to more deaths than cures, and he eventually faded into the proverbial woods. Interesting if you have a few minutes to spare and it comes across your queue. See more Read all reviews
