The story is in the question above is titled "The Faith Cure Man". The story was written by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The story is centred around a mother( Martha Benson) that has to run to a "faith cure man" to heal her daughter from her ailments.
Martha Benson did not believed in the diagnosis of the doctor and was ready to believe in anything that will signifies that her child will be saved from death.
For a person that did not believe in the doctor's diagnosis if I were to be Martha’s neighbor I will only make sure to advice her that she should know what she is doing and also, I will help her as much as I can. I would be shocked that my neighbor will believe ' a cure man'' that sells elixir because when God heals; it is free. I will only help her in anyway I know.
