March 1st This is my Birth day again, I am
55 years of age this day. I am the same age my Grand
Father Eldad Woodruff was when he died. He had the
spotted fever and was killed by Doctor Todd, as was my
Mother and her sister all about the same time, and my
Father would have died at the same time if his nurse had not
given him water the night he was given up to dayie, &the
doctor ordersed French Brandy Bark & wine to all his
patients for the spotted fever and they all died pleading
for water and it would have been a great Blessing
to humanity and a righteous deed for any man
to have Empt[i]ed the brains out of Every doctors
head that practizced medicine upon that system
for it is much better that one doctor should die than
that a whole Neighborhood should perish
March 1. I spent the day in the Endowment House
Presidents Young Kimball & Wells were present. I sealed 9
couple at the Altar & D. H. Wells 11 couple.
