Man’s Physical Deformity Healed While Woman Healed of Consumption

When Mrs. Eddy was living in Lynn, one day someone was sent to her from a distance in the city and asked her to come to visit a lady who was dying with consumption, and she said she would. She took a cab at the doorway and went to this person, and on the way when near her destination, saw a hunchback in the street and the carriage passed very close to him; as it passed him, one wheel went down into a rut and splashed him all over with water. He immediately became angry, but she leaned out of the carriage and said to him, “Little man, God loves you,” and went on her way a few hundred feet. The young fellow watched her.

She went into the house, stayed about a half hour, healed her patient, and as she came out, there was a tall young man standing at the curbstone, and he went up to her and said, “Are you the lady that told me God loved me?” She looked at him closely, and he said, “Look at me, how I have straightened up,” and expressed gratitude.
