The Royal Commission on Animal Magnetism involved two entirely separate and independent French Royal Commissions, each appointed by Louis XVI in 1784, that were conducted simultaneously by a committee composed of five scientists from the Royal Academy of Sciences and four physicians from the Paris Faculty of Medicine, and a second committee composed of five physicians from the Royal Society of Medicine into the claims made by Charles-Nicholas d’Eslon (1750-1786) for the existence of a substantial (rather than metaphorical) "animal magnetism" and of a similarly physical "magnetic fluid".
