A six-year-old boy in Pennsylvania had suffered from pains in his side since birth and was given up by both doctors and his parents. Elders administered to him, the pain left, and he rose from his bed. After four months, he was reported well and hearty.
In Their Own Words
“One little boy six years old had been sick with pains in his side almost continually since his birth. The parents were told by the doctors that he could live but a little longer, and he was also given up by his parents. On being asked to administer to him, we performed the holy ordinance. The pain left him, and he got up from bed soon after. This was done nearly four months ago, and the longest time he has been able to be out of bed before has been five weeks. He is now well and hearty, and looks better than he has done in his life before.”
— D. T. Edwards, The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star
