While sick with chills and fever in Nauvoo, Elder Woodruff was administered to by Brigham Young and healed; subsequently, the two traveled to the prairie to administer to other sick Saints.
In Their Own Words
“April 24 (Sunday).—I called upon Elder Woodruff, who was sick with the chills and fever, and laid hands upon him and he was healed, when he accompanied me in a wagon to the prairie, where we laid hands on others of the sick. — Millennial Star 26:9”
