Testimonies of Healing

A little girl, nine years of age, while coasting, lost control of her sled, and was thrown with great force against a rock; the projecting edge of which, cutting through the stocking, inflicted a wound upon the fleshy part of the leg just above the boot, laying it open to the bone. I was immediately called and found her suffering a good deal of pain, and looking quite pale (in belief).

Having tried the treatment of animals without apparent success, I was much gratified to read and test the mode of I. P.

I was lately called to treat a child of thirteen, or thereabouts, somewhat instructed in Christian Science, apparently prostrated with the prevailing epidemic.

A powerful , frightened horse threw me to the ground and trampled upon me, finally himself falling upon me several times, until the doctors declared I could not live because of broken ribs, crushed lungs, and rupture.
