175 years ago today - Oct 13, 1838

[Wilford Woodruff Journal] This was a serious day to me. I arose in the morning with a severe cold & commenced walking up the foot of the green mountains. I was soon attacked with a painful dissease resembling the Collery. I stoped into a house while going up the mountains for about two hours during which time I was Constantly vomiting & purging after which I went to bed in my waggon & Elder Holmes drove my horse for me. I called upon the elders to lay hands upon me. They did so & I was healed.
