Show A Drunlton Mini's Memory, I remember a Cambridge man who, though not given to drinking, and now "a sober man among his sons,' was more than once overtaken by liquor during the Umo when he had yet to learn his brain's exceptionally limited power of resisting the action of intoxicants. This man would not only be uuablo lo recall what had happened during the time when he was intoxicated, but a number of preceding pre-ceding events which had taken place-while place-while ho was Gtill perfectly sober. Uis frieuds would tell him of things which had happened a full hour before he was ''overtaken" (as tlie quaint expression has it), which had altogether passed from his remembrance. Ho used to say that his recollection was clear up to a certain point, beyond which everything seemed "veiled. ' ' Knowledge. |
