For nine years I was a hopeless invalid, the greater part of the time as helpless as an infant, not able to move, and when moved the pain was so severe that my screams could be heard a long distance. I was attended by ten of the best physicians of our state (North Carolina).

Several years ago, I found myself under a dreadful bondage of sickness and pain, attended by physicians, nurses, and despairing loved ones, who ministered at my bedside many weary months, with unceasing devotion and much medicine, after the orthodox custom. Finally I got up and around after a fashion—a very poor one.

Christian Science has done so much for me that I feel the least I can do is to make some acknowledgment of the facts. For fourteen years I have been suffering from locomotor ataxia, or progressive paralysis.

It is three years since I first appealed for treatment, and was almost instantaneously healed of many chronic and acute claims, some of them of years' standing. For five months I had lain in bed with complications of stomach trouble, complete nervous prostration, neuralgia, etc.

More than twelve years ago, I was a slave to tobacco, and as I was conscientious and ashamed of the habit, it became a torment to me. My sisters, brothers, and myself were musicians, and at that time did a great deal of public playing together.

The claims of sickness had been upon me for over thirty years. Twice I was healed through faith; once of a tumor, and once of running ulcers; but sickness in other forms soon appeared, and I could not understand why, when I had faith enough in God to heal me of a disease, I could not keep well.
