“Many who are suffering from PULMONARY DISEASE might be cured if they would live in a climate where they could be out-of-doors most of the year.

The physician, Dr. Merritt Kellogg, came to me and said, “Sister White, have you any light on this case? If relief cannot be given our sister, she can live but a few hours.” I replied, “Send to a blacksmith's shop, and get some pulverized charcoal; make a poultice of it, and lay it over her stomach and sides.” The doctor hastened away to follow out my instructions. Soon he returned, saying, “relief came in less than half an hour after the application of the poultices. She is now having the first natural sleep she has had for days.” {2SM 295.2}

“On Thursday Sister Sara McEnterfer was called to see if she could do anything for Brother B's little son, who is eighteen months old. For several days he has had a painful swelling on the knee, supposed to be from the bite of some poisonous insect. Pulverized charcoal, mixed with flaxseed, was placed upon the swelling, and this poultice gave relief at once. The child had screamed with pain all night, but when this was applied, he slept. Today she has been to see the little one twice. She opened the swelling in two places, and a large amount of yellow matter and blood was discharged freely. The child was relieved of its great suffering. We thank the Lord that we may become intelligent in using the simple things within our reach to alleviate pain, and successfully remove its cause.” -- Manuscript 68, 1899 (General Manuscript) {2SM 299.3}
