 Franz (originally Friedrich) Anton Mesmer (www.whonamedit.com)
While a medical student at the University of Vienna, Mesmer was impressed by the writings of the Renaissance mystic physician Paracelsus (Theophrastus Philippus Aureolus Bombastus von Hohenheim, 1493-1541) and attempted to rationalise a belief in astrological influences on human health as the result of planetary forces through a subtle, invisible fluid.
It was a friend of his, the astronomist Maximilian Hell (1720-1792), a court astronomer and Jesuit priest, who used magnets in the treatment of disease, and influenced Mesmer to conduct his first attempts at healing with a steel magnet.
Instead, he argued that the body was analogous to a magnet and that the fluid ebbed and flowed according to the laws of magnetic attraction.

 The History of Magnetic Therapy — Attracting Claims and Controversy
New carbon-steel magnets had by now been invented in England which were much more powerful than naturally occurring lodestones, and Maximilian Hell was already convinced of the effectiveness of these magnets for ridding pain, believing that a magnetic field existed in everything.
Around this time the phrase “animal magnetism” was coined either by Hell or Mesmer, there is some debate as to which one used this phrase first, and a legal dispute soon sprung up as Hell claimed Mesmer had stolen his ideas.
Magnets though, seemed forgotten, perhaps Mesmer would have been better off to stick with his original thoughts (`borrowed’ from Maximilian Hell) that it was the magnets themselves, and not those that directed their use, where the cure lay.

 CSICOP / Skeptical Inquirer / July 1998 / Magnetic Therapy: Plausible Attraction?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The development in eighteenth-century England of carbon-steel permanent magnets more powerful than lodestones brought renewed interest in the possible healing powers of magnets, and among those interested was Maximilian Hell, a professor of astronomy at the University of Vienna.
Hell claimed several cures using steel magnets, but he was rapidly eclipsed by a friend who borrowed his magnets to treat a young woman suffering from a severe mental illness.
The friend was Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815), and Mesmer's success with the "magnets from Hell" led directly to his widespread promotion of his theory of "animal magnetism." Although he first used actual magnets, he later found he could "magnetize" virtually anything -- paper, wood, leather, water -- and produce the same effect on patients.

Franz Anton Mesmer (1734-1815) an Austrian physician and hypnotist was the most famous hypnotist to conduct this kind of hypnosis, which is often referred to eponymously as mesmerism, but he did little to originate the theory.
Mesmer borrowed most of his ideas from Father Maximilian Hell, a Viennese Jesuit priest, and the brilliant English physician and hypnotist, Richard Mead (1673-1754) who was inspired by the research being done by his patient, the famous mathematician and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton.
Later scientists have shown conclusively that the results achieved by these early hypnotists were due to the psychological and physiological aspects of hypnosis and had nothing to do with magnetism.
