Lourdes: after swimming in the pools, everything disappears

Paul PELLEGRIN. A colonel in the struggle of his life ... Born April 12, 1898, residing in Toulon (France). Disease: Post-operative fistula from emptying of liver abscess.

Healed on October 3, 1950, at 52 years old. Miracle recognized on 8 December 1953 by Mons. Auguste Gaudel, bishop of Féjus. On October 5, 1950, Colonel Pellegrin and his wife came home from Toulon to Toulon, and the colonel went to the hospital as usual to resume the treatment of injections of quinine in his right side.

This fistula has been resisting every treatment for months and months. She appeared following an operation for a liver abscess. He, lieutenant colonel of the colonial infantry, now uses all his energy in this battle, in the fierce fight against this microbial infection. And nothing has ever improved, on the contrary, the deterioration is continuous! Returning from Lourdes, neither he nor his wife really see a recovery, even if Mrs. Pellegrin has found, after bathing in the water of the Grotto, that her husband's wound is no longer as before.

At the Toulon hospital, the nurses refuse to give the quinine injection because the plague has disappeared and in its place there is a pink spot of freshly rebuilt skin ... It is only then that the colonel realizes that he has been healed. The doctor who examines him asks him suddenly: "But what did he put on it?" - "I'll be back from Lourdes" replies. Illness will never return. It was the last "miraculous" born in the XNUMXth century.
