A woman who had been poisoned was examined and declared dead by those present. Benjamin Brown was called upon and administered to her through the power of the holy priesthood. To the astonishment of all witnesses, the woman was miraculously revived and fully healed, returning to complete health after having been pronounced dead. This account became one of the most dramatic healing miracles recorded in Benjamin Brown's autobiography.
