An unnamed sister, who had not seen an Elder for sixteen years, requested the Elders to lay hands on her for relief from severe, persistent neuralgia that prevented her from resting. Upon receiving the administration, she obtained instant and permanent relief.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 66, No. 48, 1 December 1904, p. 764):
A sister in Crewe, who had not seen an Elder for sixteen years, requested the Elders to lay hands on her for relief from severe, persistent neuralgia that prevented her from resting. Upon receiving the administration, she obtained instant and permanent relief.
In Their Own Words
“On the occasion of Elders Smith and Smoot’s first visit she had been suffering for a long time from neuralgia, so much that she could not rest at night. When the Elders had got fairly rested, she told them how she had suffered, and then requested them to lay hands on her that she might receive relief. She remembered that prominent feature of our faith since a girl. They complied with her request, with the result that she received instant and permanent relief. — Millennial Star 66:48”
