A description of the experience
X plus Y equals Z, or the Sleeping Preacher of North Alabama – 1876 G W Mitchell
He said to my wife 'Sister Buchanan you have been taking medicine for your lungs, and it has done you more harm than good. You think your lungs are very much diseased, but your right lung is perfectly sound. Your left has a stoppage of one of the blood vessels; I see its action'.
He then appealed to Dr Thach if it was not so? But then said 'You cannot see it, but come and feel her pulse and see its irregularity'.
'I was sitting on the opposite side of the room. He said to me to see how fast her pulse beats. I timed them by my watch, and told him the number of beats per minute. He said 'No, try again'. I then took very particular pains, and reported the number. He replied 'that is right'.
He then described to me how my wife had been afflicted for several years, describing her feelings, she said, as well as she could have done herself.
