Then why did you give her beef tea?—(After a pause) It was simpler to get.
But it is contrary to your principles. Would you give sal volatile?—No.
Witness explained that she called in no other help because she believed prayer was the most effectual.
Why didn't you call in a doctor?—I think the patient should judge for herself.
Even though her brain is clouded and she is dying?—Yes.
On another point the Coroner said: Did our Saviour use food and stimulants?—He gave wine.
Why don't you give wine?—He did not give it in illness, but at a marriage feast.
You want us to believe He gave wine to people who could do without and withheld it from those who wanted it.
Asked a question as to calling in a doctor for surgery purposes, witness said he would only be called in for setting bones and not for an operation.
The Coroner: It amounts to this: you believe the Almighty is a bad surgeon, but a good physician?—Our faith is not yet strong enough.
