'''The Royal Commission on Animal Magnetism''' were two French Royal Commissions appointed by [[Louis XVI]] in 1784 to study German doctor [[Franz Mesmer]]'s magnetic fluid theory to try to establish it by scientific evidence.<ref name="Ors">Orsucci, 2009, p.66</ref><ref>Lopez, 1993</ref> The commission of the Academy of Sciences included Majault, [[Benjamin Franklin]], [[Jean Sylvain Bailly]], [[Jean-Baptiste Le Roy]], Sallin, [[Jean Darcet]], de Borey, [[Joseph-Ignace Guillotin]], [[Antoine Lavoisier]]. The Commission of the Royal Society of Medicine was composed of Poissonnier, [[Claude-Antoine Caille|Caille]], Mauduyt de la Varenne, Andry, and [[Antoine Laurent de Jussieu]].
Whilst the commission agreed that the cures claimed by Mesmer were indeed cures,<ref name="Ors"/> it also concluded there was no evidence of the existence of his "magnetic fluid", and that its effects derived from either the imaginations of its subjects or [[charlatan]]ry.<ref name="Ors"/>
