Two Elders met a lady in Warwick, England, who had been confined to her bed for two years due to illness and great pain. After they taught her the Gospel and she exercised faith, they performed the ordinance of anointing and laying on of hands. During the administration, all pain left her, and immediately afterward she was healed, able to walk, and eventually returned to earning her own livelihood.
Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 68, No. 04 (January 25, 1906), p. 61):
Some three years ago two Elders who were laboring in Warwick, England, made the acquaintance of a lady who was so ill that she had been confined to her bed for two years, and suffered great pain. They taught her the Gospel, and told her that the signs which the Savior said should follow the believers might be realized in her case if she would exercise faith. She read the books they loaned her and believed their words, and a day was appointed for them to come and administer to her. They came upon the day appointed and the ordinance was attended to. While their hands were upon her head, she afterwards testified, all pain left her; and immediately after the conclusion of the ceremony she was enabled to get up and walk. She retired to an adjoining room and partook of refreshments. She was entirely healed from that time, and was able to work and earn her own livelihood.
