Health Reform in Typhoid Fever
By R. F. Cottrell
DEAR BRETHREN: To the praise of God I would speak of his mercies to me and mine. Sickness has again visited us. My wife has passed through an experience of typhoid fever, very similar to that I passed through a year ago. I am grateful to be able to say that she is regaining her health. After eight weeks of prostration, she has been, for the last two weeks, rapidly recovering. I hope soon to be in the field again. May God help me to labor to acceptance, and with success. I would also encourage you to believe in the health-reform treatment of disease. Some favor the reform, but, when sickness comes, dare not venture upon it, but resort to drug medication. This is the third case of typhoid fever we have had in our family, and all have recovered without a particle of medicine. The hygienic treatment has been successful every time. Some say it is best in some cases; we believe it is in every case. It is said that some physicians have learned that in cases of typhoid fever it is not best to give much medicine. The patients cannot bear it. Would it not be well to learn that they need not bear it in diseases less critical? Brethren, we enjoy great light, both as to our temporal and eternal salvation. Let us walk in the light, trusting in God. He will not fail those who put their trust in him. R. F. COTTRELL.
