Testimonies of Healing

Puzzling the Doctors

A STRANGE STORY OF HOW A CHRISTIAN SCIENTIST CURED A WOUNDED MAN.

From the January 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Boston Sunday Globe


Hartford, Conn., Nov. 20.—R. C. Hannon, a Boston Christian Scientist, has secured many converts in the neighboring town of Broad Brook, where a remarkable case of faith-cure is reported. A week ago, Joseph Mann was accidentally shot by his brother-in-law, the bullet entering the left breast, and coming out at the back directly opposite.

He was attended by three doctors, who, after examination, pronounced the case fatal. The patient was unconscious, and bleeding profusely. Hannon, being in the town, asked permission to try "the Christian Science."

On his entering the room, the wounded man immediately returned to consciousness, and sat up in bed. In an hour he appeared as well as ever. The wounds healed rapidly, and today the healer and his patient were in this city. The latter says he feels no pain. He is a little pale from excessive loss of blood, otherwise he is perfectly well.
