These diseases will be treated by the most approved methods
of hygiene, hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, massage, manual
Swedish movement, diet, et cetera. Electric baths, electric
vapour baths, sitz baths, salt glows, hot packs, wet sheet packs,
massage, et cetera, can be had.--BE, Jan. 11, 1897, and
throughout the year.

I am now suffering some with my lungs on account of cold. I took an
electric bath last night and slept at the institute.

Visited Henry Miller and had some talk with him that I think was
profitable. Called and saw where Mary Stewart was at work, preparing in
books all that I have written which has been put into print. At seven p.m.
took electric bath. Visited Aunt Mary. Listened to the reading of
manuscript for Volume I.

Battle Creek, January 23, 1891
I went to the sanitarium for treatment. The electric bath I hoped
would be beneficial to me. I am sick. I cannot eat anything. My stomach
will not take care of food. My physical strength is exhausted. I seem to
have no deposit in the bank from which to draw. It seems now it would take
but little to put out the lamp of life. But I am not anxious now to sleep

Our electric battery, which has been out of repair, is now in working
order; and what relief it brings in sickness! Just as the prunes were ready
to pick, Brother James was seized with an attack of what he calls lumbago. He
had severe pains in his back, and could neither stand straight, nor bend down
far enough to unlace his shoes. Sara gave him electricity, Sister James
helping where she could. But Sister James was afraid of the battery, and
would not touch the sponges. At first Brother James could hardly endure the
application of the electricity, but Sara persevered, and wonderful relief
came to him. He now thinks that electricity is a marvelous remedy. After the
first application, he was able to walk straighter than he had been able to
for days, and he continued to improve. Sara has given him electricity three
times a day, and he has been able to keep at his work.

The Touch of Faith

As He (our Saviour) was passing, she reached ?? and succeeded in barely touching the
?? of His garment. That moment she knew that she was healed. In that one
touch was concentrated the faith of her life, and instantly her pain and
feebleness disappeared. Instantly she felt the thrill as of an electric
current passing through every fiber of her being. There came over her a
sensation of perfect health. "Straightway . . . she felt in her body that she
was healed of that plague."

A Close Call for Ellen White

The day of James White's death came close to being just that for
Ellen, also. When on Friday evening Dr. Kellogg advised her that
James White was failing fast, she had gotten up from her sickbed.
Though seeming to be recovering, she was still very ill. She stayed
with James through the night and all the next day till his death. Then
she almost collapsed. Dr. Kellogg sensed her danger, although she
did not. That night he appointed two attendants, and he himself
slept close by with clothes on, so that he might be instantly at her
side if needed. He charged the two women helpers, Mary Chinnock
and Emma Webber: "Watch the pulse and call me at any change."
Not sensing her peril and always thoughtful of others, Ellen White

told the two women that they could sleep. But they did not. She
wrote of the experience a little later:

At twelve o'clock at night my pulse stopped. . . . He [Dr.
Kellogg] was at my bedside in one minute. I was unable to speak
but knew what was going on. I expected to pass away quietly as
my husband had done, but the doctor worked unremittingly
with the two helpers until three o'clock in the morning.
The strongest electricity was employed;
one stood with a cake of ice and another with a hot sponge and
passed first hot, then cold, over the spine for three hours until my
pulse, though very weak, and fluttery, was improved. For four nights
these faithful hands battled with death and were rewarded by seeing a
determined improvement.--Letter 9, 1881.
