John Brown's Son, Seized With Cholera and Cramps, Runs About the Morning After the Elders Anoint Him at Loanhead (1848)

The son of John Brown was afflicted with severe cholera and cramps that caused his belly to contract. Elders M'Master and Gibson anointed him and laid hands on him; he recovered immediately and was running about the next morning.

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

In the month of December, 1848, I was sent for to visit a young boy, son of Brother John Brown, in Lounhead, who was taken very bad with cholera. Brother M‘Master and I went out, and found him dying: his belly was drawn together like thick cords with the cramp. Brother M‘Master anointed, and then we laid our hands on him in the name of Jesus Christ, and he got better immediately, and next morning he was running about as well as ever he was, and has continued so.
