I am indebted to Dr. George Wyld for this case, which also exhibits
the value of clairvoyance. Dr. Wyld had the good fortune to make the
acquaintance of a Mrs. D----, a lady in private life who was endowed
with the gift of natural clairvoyance. Dr. Wyld told this lady of “a
friend who had for years suffered intense agony for hours every night
in his back and chest, and that latterly he had been obliged to sit up
all night in a chair, and his legs began to swell.”
“This gentleman had regularly for three years been under many of the
leading physicians of London. Some said that there must be some obscure
heart affection, others said it was neuralgia, one said it was gout,
and the last consulted said it was malignant caries of the spine.”
Dr. Wyld’s friend called upon him by appointment, and met Mrs. D----.
This lady merely looked at him. When he had retired from the room Mrs.
D---- made the following statement of his case to the doctor:--“I have
seen what the disease is; I saw it as distinctly as if the body were
transparent. There is a tumour behind the heart, about the size of a
walnut; it is of a dirty colour; and it jumps and looks as if it would
burst. Nothing can do him any good but entire rest.”
“I at once saw,” says Dr. Wyld, what she meant, and sat down to write
to my friend’s medical attendant as follows:--
“I believe I have discovered the nature of Mr.----’s disease. He has
an aneurism on the descending aorta, about the size of a walnut. It
is this which causes the slight displacement which has been observed
in the heart, and the pressure of the tumour against the intercostal
nerves is the cause of the agony in the back, and the peripheral pains
in the front of the chest. You are going to-morrow to see Sir ---- in
consultation; show him this diagnosis, and let me know what he says.”
“Next the patient had the consultation, and Mrs. D----’s diagnosis
was confirmed; and the doctors agreed with Mrs. D---- the only thing
to be done was to take entire rest. The treatment was duly followed
up, with successful results.” Dr. Wyld thoughtfully adds--“It is true
that the diagnosis cannot be absolutely confirmed during life, but as
the profession unanimously pronounce the disease to be aneurism, the
diagnosis may be accepted as correct. This diagnosis has probably saved
the gentleman’s life, as before Mrs. D---- saw him he was allowed to
shoot over Scotch moors, and to ride, drive, and play billiards.”
The use of clairvoyance in the diagnosis of disease is by no means
as rare as the majority of physicians and the general public would
naturally assume. I have had many opportunities of witnessing the
accuracy of diagnosis and the excellence of the methods of treatment
advised by clairvoyants. In my own personal experience I have had much
evidence of correctness of clairvoyance in diagnosis, and subsequent
success in treatment. It is a phase most desirable to cultivate if
possible, and all allied conditions connected therewith.
