might be further illustrated by the well known case of Miss Eliza
Hamilton, who became paralysed in her limbs and right arm, through
severe injury to the spine. She had been in hospital for four months,
on her return home frequently passed into the trance state, and
on awakening described various people and places she had visited,
and objects seen. These descriptions have been invariably verified
subsequently. “She also at times,” says her physician, “speaks of
having been in the company of persons with whom she was acquainted in
this world, but who have passed away; and she tells her friends that
they have become more beautiful, and have cut off their infirmities
with which they were afflicted while here. She often describes events
which _are about to happen_, and these are always fulfilled exactly as
she predicts.”
“Her father,” says Mr. Hudson Tuttle, “read in her presence a letter
he had received from a friend in Leeds, speaking of the loss of his
daughter, about whose fate he was very unhappy, as she had disappeared
nearly a month before, and left no trace. Eliza went into the trance
state, and cried out, ‘Rejoice! I have found the lost girl! She is
happy in the angel world.’ She said the girl had fallen into the dark
water where dyers washed their cloths; that her friends could not have
found her had they sought her there, _but_ now the body had floated a
few miles, and would be found in the River Aire. The body was found as
described.
“Now, knowing that her eyes were closed, that she could not hear, that
her bodily senses were in profound lethargy, how are we to account for
the intensity and keenness of sight? Her mental powers were exceedingly
exalted, and scarcely a question could be asked her but she correctly
answered.
“In this case the independence of the mind of the physical body are
shown in every instance of clairvoyance, is proven beyond cavil or
doubt. If it is demonstrated that the mind sees without the aid of
eyes, hears when the ears are deaf, feels when the nerves of sensation
are at rest, it follows that it is independent of these outward
avenues, and has other channels of communication with the external
world essentially its own.”
CLAIRVOYANCE FROM DISEASE.
Miss Mollie Fancher, of Brooklyn Heights, fell off a tramway car when
eighteen years of age, experienced very severe injuries to head and
spine, her body being dragged a distance, through her dress catching on
the step of the car. She became paralysed, lost all her senses, except
touch. She gradually recovered hearing, taste, and ability to talk
in time. She was also blind for nine years. Drs. Speir and Ormiston
were her physicians, men of skill and marked probity. These, with a
veritable host of medical men--ministers of the Gospel, educationists
and specialists--have borne testimony to her remarkable endowments,
from which we take two extracts. Mr. Charles Ewart, Principal of the
Brooklyn Heights Seminary, where she was under special care, writes:--
