WHILE the world in general is yet in doubt as to the truly scientific and divinely appointed method of healing the sick, and is struggling in varying degrees with doubt, faith, and fear, over the relative merits of the many material systems in vogue, it is interesting to refer to those cases of healing performed by Christ Jesus, and study the means and method which he is recorded as having employed in curing diseases of every nature.
Whether or not the cures of Jesus were the manifestation of a special dispensation of Providence, as has been claimed, and were miraculous; or whether they were natural and ever-operative expressions of the divine power, we hope may be disclosed as we proceed.
The four Gospels credit Jesus with twenty-seven distinct and separate cases of physical healing. Besides these he healed many not specifically mentioned.
