Allen Joseph Stout's Father's Leg Mortified - Healed Through Natural Remedy

Allen Joseph Stout documented an affliction that befell his father and its resolution. While traveling toward Arkansas, Stout recorded: 'We took the main military road which led to Little Rock, the territory of Arkansas. Father's sore leg got so bad that he could not travel so we put up with a man whose name was William Holt, an old acquaintance of father's. We stayed there two months during which time my father's leg mortified, but he boiled verbenas leaves and applied to it, which stopped the mortification.' Though this was not a miraculous healing in the traditional sense, it demonstrated divine providence in providing a remedy that saved his father's leg from complete loss.
