of mortification I showed it to Prest. Young who advised
me to cleanse my stomach immediately and put
on onion poultices and any thing that would draw
the poison from my system into my arm, which
I counsel I immediately put into execution. the
29th was another trying day to my life, the poison
had so thoroughly penetrated my whole system that
my strength left me I could not stand, I was led
to my bed, my bowels and stomach ceased to
act, my speech was like that of a drunken man
Prest. Young called into company with Dr Sprague
and laid hands upon me and rebuked the disease
and the power of the distroyer which had sceized
my body and promised me in the name of the
Lord, that I should not die but live to finished
my work which was appointed me, upon the
Earth. I soon began to recover; the poison and
mortification left my body system and centered
in my arm, and was drawn from my arm
through the aid of charcoal poultices, moistened
with a strong decoction of wormwood rag weed
and wild sage; the dead flesh was removed
from my arm with instruments and lunar caustic
and in a few days I was well again.

I have occupied considerable space in refering
to those peculiar circumstances, which have attended
me during life, and to sum the matter up, it stands
thus: I have broken both legs, one twice in two ^in two places^, both
arms, both ankles, ^dislocated^ my breast bone and three ribs, ^and ^had^ both ankles dislocated^
I have been drown^e^d, froze, scalded, and bit by
a mad dog; have been in two water wheels under
full head of water; have passed through several
severe fits of sickness; ^& encountered poison in its
worst forms; have landed in a pile of rail-road ruins
