Testimonies of Healing

I began the study of Christian Science...

From the November 1925 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I began the study of Christian Science over fifteen years ago. At that time I had been under the constant care of a local physician for many months. Weak nerves had brought on a serious physical condition from which I suffered intensely day and night. In spite of the faithful work of the physician, I was constantly growing worse. I then decided to turn from materia medica to Christian Science, for there seemed to be nothing else to do.

At another time, when she had suffered from a badly dislocated shoulder bone as the result of an automobile accident, she was relieved from all pain in a couple of hours, and a complete healing was accomplished in two weeks.
