Mrs. Rodger's Daughter, a Skeletal Typhus Case Given Up by Physicians, Recovers After Elder Mitchell Sees a Vision of Her Walking Whole at Sheffield (1847)

“Was sent for by Mrs. Rodger, to lay hands on her daughter, who had been given up by the Doctors. The complaint was the typhus fever, she was reduced to a complete skeleton, her bones were ready to come through the skin, and her body had many large sores upon it; I never saw such an object of pity before. Before administing in the ordinance, I preached the gospel to them, for they were out of the church. I called on them all to kneel down, then gave her some oil internally and laid hands on her in the name of the Lord and rebuked the disease; and while I had my hands on her head I saw her well, and walking about as one of the most healthy and blooming girls in that place. She commenced to amend immediately, she slept safely and soundly that night and in the morning wanted her breakfast. It came to pass as I saw it. — Millennial Star 11:14”
