Mrs. Dwello has not been we'll fol
over two years. On the Goth OF June
last, she was taken with nervous and
other troubles and since then has
been able to do little or no work.
Under DR.. Stinson's treatment she
seemed to recover in a measure,
although the Doctor said from the
first that there was no permanent
help for her.
Mrs. Dwello was taken worse and
to her bed on the 2nd of JAN, last,
where she remained for just ten
weeks. One organ after another OF
the body seemed to be affected in
rapid succession uutil Jan. %. when
she began vomiting From this tune
until Feb 2, she raised nothing but a
glairy mucous at which time she
began to vomit matter which she
continued to do until March 9Th.
These vomiting spells were something
terrible to witness and numbered
from one to seven a day.
On Feb. 4th, DR.. Stinson said all
had been done that could be. at DR..
Stinson's request DR.. Walker was
called on Feb 9th, DIR. Dunn of Elma
was called. The conclusion reached
at the consultation was that there
was cancer of the stomach with
other troubles and in fact all organs
of the body affected. DR.. Dunn saw
her again on Feb. Is. Specimens of
the pus were sent to St. Louis and
Rush Medical College of Chicago, for
examination and later a second speci-
men was sent to Rush Medical
College about the first of March.
The return from st. Louis simply
said "cancer cells found in large
numbers" and both returns from
Rush College confirmed the diagnosis
made by the physicians here.
The only source of help was God.
Many prayers of Christians of Rice
vile and community were offered in
Mrs. Dwello's behalf.
DR.. Dowie of Chicago, overseer of
the Divine Healing Mission, was
asked to pray for her on March S, at
8 a. N. A few friends were invited to
the home to pray at the same time.
During prayer Mrs. Dwello seemed to
sink away. 1t was thought that the
excitement of the moment had over
come her, but when she reused again
she said she was perfectly comfort
able, felt no pain and wanted to
sleep. She was comfortable all day
and at night her usual time for vom-
iting she showed no signs of it; rose
on Sunday morning, dressed herself,
walked to the church which is only
few steps and remained three
quarters of an hour or more.
On Monday she was up most of the
day and on Tuesday took the night
train for Chicago standing the
journey remarkably we'll considering
her condition.
In Zion Home the healing services
consist simply of singing hymn,
prayer, teaching the Scripture and
the laying on of hands with simple
prayer. These services occur three
times week in the home and twice
week in the Tabernacle.
Mrs. Dwello seemed to get no
marked bodily health until at the
healing service on the first Monday
after her arrival on Wednesday. At
this time when DR.. Dowie laid hands
on her it seemed for an instant that
a knife had been driven into her
stomach then all pain was gone. She
turned Immediately to Mr.. Dwello
who stood by and said: sit is done,
it is done."
That evening she vomited up dead
tissue. On Tuesday and Tuesday
night and Wednesday until DR..
Dowie came to lay hands upou her ut
the close of the service she felt very
poorly.
But at the laying on of hands all
pain and distressed feeling instantly
left her and has never returned
although there have been times
when she has felt bad for a short
time- She is now at home able to
walk two or three miles and eats
heartily of anything she wants. Since
March 9Th she has not taken drop
of medicine lor received any treat
ment of any kind. God has simply
done for her what he promises to do
in so many places in the Word for
