A sister, unnamed, who had suffered for nine years with a tumour in her side, was miraculously healed after the application of the ordinances of the Church, as reported by Elder J. V. Long at the Cambridgeshire Conference.
Fuller account of this event (the complete account as preserved in The Latter-day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 15, No. 35, p. 557):
A sister in this place, who had been afflicted for nine years with a tumour in her side, was healed by the power of God, through the ordinances of the Gospel.
