Good news for the sick
The brochure Happy News for the Sick from 1896 is a report by Franz Eugen Schlachter about the healer Cyprian Vignes from the Cevenned village of Vialas in southern France. Schlachter was one of the few who made Vignes and his work known.
It is reported that "faith healings" took place by this Cevennes farmer in the time of Schlachter. Schlachter himself drove to Vialas twice and also organized travel companies. The Evangelical Society viewed the whole thing critically, but thoroughly benevolently. Fritz Stucky, who later became President of the Evangelical Society of the Canton of Bern , also visited Vialas and made positive comments. Vignes became known through the reports of Schlachter in his magazine Brosamen von des Herr Tisch . In 1896 the second booklet followed, called “ A Reanimated Gift ”. She acted u. a. also of Vignes and its healings. Later it became quieter around Vignes and from 1905 Schlachter no longer reported about it in the “Brosamen”.
