Ellen G. White and Her Critics

The Third Medical Witness

After bringing on Drs. Fairfield and Russell, Canright quotes from some pamphlet against Mrs. White, which is now unavailable, citing what she is supposed to have said in comment on what Dr. Jackson ^* is supposed to have said, after he is supposed to have examined her: namely, that she was a subject of hysteria. We hardly think our readers will ask us to spend time refuting that kind of evidence. EGWC 79.1

Then follows immediately this declaration: “Here is the testimony of three physicians, who have personally examined Mrs. White.” He apparently hopes to give added plausibility to this unsupported statement by a similarly unsupported one: EGWC 79.2

“At the Sanitarium at Battle Greek, Mich., Mrs. White was often treated when ill. The physicians there became familiar with her case. Several of those most prominent there renounced their faith in her visions. This is significant.” EGWC 79.3
