    Deinde linteolo prope cadaver sumpto abiit et aqua cui illud immerserat, aegra membra respergens, illico omne inde venenum abstersit, et quem morbum nulla medicae artis praesidia curare potuerant, extemplo vidit abactum.Then he removed the small linen cloth placed near the body, and, cleaning the sick limbs with the water in which it had been immersed, in that very place he wiped away all poison from them, and he immediately saw the driving away of disease which no help of the medical arts had been able to cure.1891, Acta Sanctae Sedes, Vatican, page 25:
