Sister Martha Hartopp of Nuneaton was suffering severely from quinsy, a condition she had been troubled with all her life. She requested the missionaries laboring in her branch to administer to her. Following the administration, she was healed almost immediately, receiving quicker and more pronounced relief than she had ever experienced before.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 72, No. 8 (February 24, 1910), p. 126):
Sister Martha Hartopp, of Nuneaton, who has been a sufferer from quinsy all her life, requested the elders to administer to her. She was healed almost immediately, and received quicker and more pronounced relief than she had ever experienced before.
In Their Own Words
“Sister Martha Hartopp, of Nuneaton, writes to say that she was the recipient of the blessing of healing to a marked degree recently. She was suffering from quinsy, and was in a bad state, when she called upon the elders laboring in the branch to administer to her. She was healed almost immediately. Sister Hartopp has been troubled with quinsy all her life, but never before has she experienced such quick and pronounced relief.— Millennial Star 72:8”
