An anonymous church member in the district of an unnamed Elder experienced a greatly inflamed eye and sought medical help from an oculist, after which the Elder administered to the individual, resulting in the healing of the eye.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 53, No. 37, 14 September 1891, p. 588):
A sister in this district had a very sore eye, and was under the treatment of an oculist for some time, but it got no better. She requested the Elders to administer to her, which they did, and she was healed.
In Their Own Words
“In another instance, an Elder writes of a member in his district whose eye became greatly inflamed, and an oculist was consulted. The Elder administered to the sufferer, and in a short time the inflammation had subsided and the eye was healed. — Millennial Star 53:37”
