Testimonies of Healing
I had no perception of the healing power of Truth until about a year ago. Four years ago I was as the man born blind.
I am a graduate of one of the first Medical Colleges in the West, and was in active practice for many years. Was one of the most determined opposers of all modes of treating disease, except the straight old school Allopathic way.
