John Gorde, His Thigh Dislocated for Eight Years and Left Untreated by Doctors, Is Immediately Cured Upon Baptism at Maxstoke (1847)

“Also her son, John Gorde, had, when nine years old, the misfortune to dislocate his thigh. The medical fraternity were called upon, who endeavoured to set it, but in consequence of its being swelled so much they were not able; and thus it remained for the space of eight years, and so powerful was its effect upon the constitution that it stopped the growth of his body; his leg hung loose, so that he could turn it any way he pleased. Finally he heard the gospel of Christ, and in one week after the baptism of his mother he was immersed in the liquid grave, and wonderful to relate he lost his lameness, his body began to grow, and that time he has enjoyed good health, and from appearance no one would suppose he had ever been feeble at all. — Millennial Star 11:18”
