The Millennial Star reports that the power of God was manifested in the Edinburgh Conference through the healing of the sick both in and out of the Church, accomplished by the laying on of hands.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 29, No. 34 (24 August 1867), p. 541):
In the Edinburgh Conference the power of God has been manifested in the healing of the sick, both in and out of the Church, through the laying on of hands.
