Testimonies of Healing

It was in the year 1899 that I first heard of Christian Science through a friend who was studying it. I became interested and sent for the textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

My attention was called to Christian Science about twenty-five years ago through the healing of a woman who had been given up by various physicians. As I was then suffering from stomach trouble, I turned to Christian Science and took treatment for some time, but relief did not come until I began to study Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

From childhood I was afflicted with an ear trouble, which became so serious that for months at a time I was unable to hear with that ear. This condition was very annoying indeed, especially in my school work.

When I first learned of Christian Science I was suffering from numerous ills; in fact I seemed to have almost every ailment to which flesh is heir. I had tried all that materia medica could offer, with the exception of an operation, which my physician said was the last hope for me, as I had an internal growth that medicine had failed to reach.

Jesus' promise, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free,"' was proved true to me in my healing through Christian Science a few years ago. For five years previous to that time my health had been constantly failing, and the last year I was almost a helpless invalid.

My gratitude for Christian Science is indeed boundless, as it has become to me even the hope, the joy, and the purpose of living. My life had grown dark in prospect while I was yet a child, as it was thought I had inherited a weak constitution.

My healing was considered wonderful by those who knew me. Seemingly possessed of an appetite for liquor, a temper at times apparently ungovernable, suffering from an abscess on the thigh which the best doctor in Detroit could not cure after two years of persistent effort, chronic catarrh of twenty-five years' standing, and the climax capped by an attack of what was pronounced typhoid-pneumonia, I considered myself "down and out" mentally, physically, and financially.

Eighteen months ago I came to Christian Science for the healing of severe nasal catarrh of eleven years' standing, which had resulted in the loss of the sense of smell and often loss of voice. Now the membrane is normal, also the sense of smell and taste, and not a trace of the trouble is left.

It is more than six years since I was healed in Christian Science. I had not been well for three years, and for three months previous to my healing I had been in constant pain from inflammation of the bladder and other ills.

I am very thankful to God for this wonderful truth, for need of which humanity has suffered so long, and which has come to us through the study of Mrs. Eddy's writings.
