The Christian Science practitioner has learned through experience that no two cases are quite alike; each case is necessarily an individual claim of error presenting its own particular beliefs and fears, and must, therefore, be treated as separate and distinct from all other cases. This fact makes it impossible that any formula can be successfully used in Christian Science treatment.
