A i Occult Impression.

“If we would but heed the inward monitor which so often warns us in times of danger, many of our perplexities would be removed,” said the Doctor. “I remember a curious incident in the early part of my career. 1 was sent for at daybreak on ono occasion in a great hurry. A young lady was dying with all the symptoms of poisoning. The messenger did not know what she had taken or how it had happened, but was sure she could not live. I seized some remedies, but was conscious of a doubt. I must work in the dark, for I did not know what antidotes would be needed. Then, as plain as I ever beard anything in my life, a word came to my inner senses, a name spoken only to the alert ears of my mental being: ‘Laudanum.’ I never disputed it, but seizing the antidote for that particular poison I hurried away with the messenger, who had waited outside. Sure enough, the woman had taken a dose of laudanum, not with suicidal intent, but to Induce sleep. It proved an overdose, and I found her very ill, but was able to restore her, after a few hours, to her normal condition of health. The remarkable impression to which I unhesitatingly responded had enabled me to save her life.”
