After suffering from a violent cold for a week, W. Tipple was diagnosed with typhoid fever. He called for the Elders of the Church to administer to him. Following the administration, the fever left him immediately, and he regained his strength until he became perfectly well.
In Their Own Words
“I feel led to bear my testimony of God’s goodness and mercy toward me in healing me of Typhoid fever. About five weeks ago I was seized with a violent cold, and, after I had been ailing a week, the doctors pronounced it Typhoid fever. After this I was led to call in the Elders of the Church who ministered unto me and immediately the fever left me, when I began to get stronger and I am now perfectly well. I feel to thank God for having sent His servants to Wales, and bringing me to a true knowledge of the Gospel of Christ.”
— W. Tipple, The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star
