Bonnie had been with Sidey and Photographer Walter Bennett on the press plane following Johnson.

Open sores on a child's face were reported washed away. Arthritic pain and lung congestion apparently disappeared after sufferers drank the fluid. Soon busloads of visitors were arriving at the Morse property from as far away as San Antonio and Monterrey, Mexico...
