Bishop Perry reported that at one stage Stephen Henty became very ill, and the physicians had declared that he could not live for 24 hours. Yet after taking homœopathic medicines, he recovered entirely from his illness. He and his brother became converts to the system after observing this marvellous recovery. In 1870 the Henty brothers were appointed to the committee of the Melbourne Homœopathic Dispensary.
