A woman blind in one eye since childhood saw Eliza R. Snow in a dream and was told she would receive a blessing through her. Eliza R. Snow anointed the blind eye and pronounced a healing; weeks later, the eye was perfectly sound.

In Their Own Words

“At another time a sister came who was blind in one eye, had been so since her childhood. She had been struck with a ruler by her teacher when a child, and the eye had been blind ever since. On coming into the House this sister gazed continually upon Sister Snow, and when asked at last what caused her deep attention, she told Sister Snow that she had seen her in a dream a little time before, and that she was to receive through her a great blessing. Sister Snow anointed the blind eye, and pronounced the healing of the Holy Spirit upon it. A few weeks afterwards the sister returned to show her once blind eye, which was now bright and perfectly sound. — The Young Woman's Journal 4:7”
