    Betty Daugherty recovered spontaneously in 1946 of a mental/nervous disease thought to be St. Vitus Dance.

    All the doctors around there, specialists and hospitals had give her up; she was like a raging maniac.

    In 1960 Betty Daugherty walked across the platform in Jeffersonville, Indiana, so that William Branham could pray for cataracts that had seriously affected her vision, even though she was only 22 years old. When William Branham prayed "Let the power that healed Betty Daugherty the first time, and this also the second time, let it heal our sister, in Jesus' Name. Amen." it established a few different things:

    1. Betty Daugherty was still free of the first disease that had affected her,
    2. She was a real person, and not just a story,
    3. She confirmed her first healing by her presence in Jeffersonville, and her trust in the Lord Jesus Christ to heal her a second time through William Branham's prayers.


    Testimony Written By Rev. Robert Daugherty

    The following letter appears on pages 86-87 of the book "William Branham, A Man Sent From God" written by Gordon Lindsay:

    Our little girl, Betty, had been sick for three months. We had two noted doctors of the city, but seemingly they could not find the cause of her sickness. We also had many outstanding ministers of the city and country around, praying for her. She steadily grew worse. Then we sent to Jeffersonville, Indiana, for a man by the name of Rev. William Branham, who has the gift of divine healing. Brother Bill, as he is called, came to us at once. After hours of praying, he came in and told us that the Lord had showed him a vision of what to do for our little Betty. She was mere skin and bones and shook all the time as if she had palsy.
    Brother Bill asked us if we would believe God and would obey what He said to do. After he had prayed and called over her in the Name of Jesus, our little girl was instantly healed. That has been about 10 months ago. Our little Betty is now in perfect health and is as fat as she can be. I will be glad to write to anyone in question of her healing, or any of the healings that took place during the revival which Brother Branham held there in St. Louis in 1946.

    Testimony by William Branham

    And then we went over, and I went to St. Louis, and I met Brother Daugherty there. His little girl, all the doctors around there, specialists and hospitals had give her up; she was like a raging maniac. Ministers throughout the city had been everywhere, in there praying for her. And I went in and prayed for her, and the poor people just looked so gray. And the little girl in there, screaming and crying, fighting...and she couldn't make a noise like a human any more, sounded like an animal; she was so hoarse from, oh, around three or four months... It was spinal meningitis, or, no, Saint Vitus' dance in the--in the spine. And her little lips was all eaten, bleeding, and her little fingers just bleeding all over where she had biting her fingers, and things like that, and just screaming and going on.

    And I prayed, went down to the church, waited hours after hours, set out in the old car and waited. I wasn't going to leave that case till I heard from heaven. Just setting there in the car, a vision broke before me, said, "Go tell the father and his father..." Said, "Look... Tell the woman that the other day, downtown, she bought a little white kettle. It's never had water in it before." And said, "Tell her to look in the third drawer and she'll find a handkerchief that's in a piece of paper that's never been used before. Tell her to fill it with water. Stand the father on your right hand and the grandfather on your left hand, and repeat, 'Our Father, Who art in heaven...' And as you start that, let her wipe the rag across its face. Then in the middle of the prayer have her touch its hands, then its feet. Then stand and say, 'THUS SAITH THE LORD.'"

    You know what happened, don't you? She was healed right there. And we put our hands together and walked down the street and drank a soda pop together. That's right. That's right. It stirred St. Louis. In my meeting there, fourteen thousand the first night..
