Hugh Findlay — Healing of a Child in Dundee

In December 1844, a three-year-old girl in Dundee, Scotland, who had been suffering from severe convulsive fits for eighteen months, was healed after Elder Hugh Findlay administered to her. Findlay anointed the child with oil and prayed for her, and according to the parents' testimony, she never suffered another fit from that day forward.

Fuller account of this event (in the witness’s own words):

I have a girl, aged three years, who had for eighteen months been afflicted with convulsive fits. We had tried every medical aid that we could hear of, but all to no purpose; the child was fearful to behold, almost in continual convulsions by night and day. On the 25th of December last, Elder Hugh Findlay called and anointed her with oil in the name of the Lord and prayed for her, and from that day until now she has never had a fit, but is as healthy and playful as any child in the street. For the truth of which, witness our hands—James Davidson, Maria Davidson.
