Margaret and John Hunter's Son, Given Up by Physicians With an Incurable Disease, Runs About in Health the Day After Anointing at Clackmannan (1848)

The six-year-old son of Margaret and John Hunter had been given up by physicians as having an incurable and unknown disease. Elder John Sharp and Elder John Russell anointed him, and he was running about in good health the next day.

Fuller account of this event (as retold in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 11, No. 13, 1 July 1849, p. 203):

In the beginning of the year 1848, in Clackmanan Branch, a boy of about six years of age, a son of Brother John and Sister Margaret Hunter, who had been given up by all the medical men as incurable, and whose disease they could not understand, and who was reduced in consequence thereof almost to skin and bone, and confined to bed, was administered unto by Elder John Sharp, now in America, and Elder John Russell, who is still here, who anointed with oil in the name of the Lord Jesus, and next day he was running about in good health, and has continued well ever since.
