THE CAUSE AND CURE OF DISEASE

MAURICE MC C. CHURCH

Mark's Gospel contains the well-loved description of the healing of a sick woman who, with hope and expectation, made her way through the crowd thronging Jesus and touched his garment. Then, the account records (5:29), "She felt in her body that she was healed of that plague."
