<TITLE>18. Par 69-71</TITLE>L-69 When I go overseas I--I... They believe... They--they give me so many shots I look like a guinea egg to get into places where they just, the shots--shots with yellow fever and--and all kinds of toxins. They say that keep you from taking it. I didn't want to take it, but you have to take it anyhow. So that's all right.
You say, "Brother Branham, do you believe in medicines?" Why sure, certainly. They are God-given things; we believe that. But that ain't what heals you. What if we didn't have health and hygiene, what would we have? The way the people has accumulated on the earth today and how many things. If the hospital is not of God, then burn the thing down; it's antichrist. See? Sure, but it is of God... But they don't do no healing. They are just a place to keep you away, and to help you, try to keep you clean while you... If you are ever healed, God healed you.
Famous doctor, I wouldn't call his name, he said to me... He said, "Billy, you come in here and the first thing," said, "a horse doctor has to have more sense than we do." Said, "He has to know where the horse is sick at." Said you come in and say, "What's the matter with you?"
Said, "You tell me what's wrong."
Said, "I am in a hurry; I'll write you out a little prescription."
Said, "Do you notice who's name is on there? The druggist, he paid for this." Said, "I'll charge you ten dollars. You go over and get it filled, and he will go back and fill it, and charge you three dollars for something he paid two cents for." Said, "You take them for two or three days," said, "if the Lord hasn't healed you by that time, you come back to my office; I'll charge you five dollars more," and said, "go and get it repeated again." See, there you are. It's God that heals.
Now, I'm not condemning a good doctor. God knows that. And I'll say this one thing. Let me stop a minute. I have found more doctors believing in Divine healing than I have preachers. That's right. And I have went from hospital to hospital.

L-70 Famous doctor had me go to an old man the other day, an old doctor that--that I ain't got time to tell you, that was eighty years old, been unconscious for two weeks. Brother Goad here, knows of the case. Happened to belong to the same club, shooting club that I just went into a few days ago. And that old doctor was laying there. A famous, one of the best doctors there is in the south. Said, "Brother Branham, when you come over just have a word with the old man. He's in unconscious. And while I was holding his hand, he come to and said, "Hello, doctor."

L-71 I said, "I'm not doctor," I said, "I'm Brother Branham."
He said, "I must've been asleep."
"Yeah, about three weeks."
I said, "I guess, doctor, how long have you been practicing medicine?"
Said, "How old are you?"
I said, "Fifty-two years old."
He said, "Before you were nursing."
And I said, "I guess a many nights you've had a flashlight down along the creek banks,"  old country doctor, "down along the creek banks trying to find some baby with a bellyache or a mother in labor."
He said, "Not a flashlight, a lantern."
And--and I said, "I guess you... then you didn't get nothing for it, maybe a setting of eggs or something."
Said, "No, I didn't expect nothing."
And I said, "Well, you know what I think, doc? You believe in God?"
He said, "I wouldn't be here if I didn't."
