In the 1920s, English-Canadians were caught by the urban campaigns of faith healing evangelists. The author explores the cultural practice of Protestant faith healing in Canada, from its Victorian roots to its culmination in the professional campaigns of the twentieth century. He provides a window onto the intersection of religion and medicine.
