Testimonies of Healing

When Christian Science was first called to my attention, I knew absolutely nothing about this teaching, and having no faith in Christianity or in God, felt quite sure it could not interest me. We were then in the Northwest, and had been there only a short time when we began to hear of Christian Science from many sources and to read in the papers about the work that was being done.

When Christian Science came to me my baby was nine months old, and while he was a healthy child I was hardly able to be up at all. A friend had asked me why I did not see a practitioner, but I knew nothing about Christian Science.

Having had many proofs in our family of the healing power of Truth, I am very glad to relate a special case in which healing was wrought through Christian Science. About a year and a half ago my brother came from Bremen to Herford for a rest, having suffered for a long time with his head; but instead of experiencing relief, as he had hoped, his condition grew so serious that he had to seek medical advice.

When Christian Science first found me three years ago, I was a sufferer from ulcers of the stomach and bowels, which the doctors told me could not be cured. They said all they could do was to burn them out.

For more than sixteen years I was afflicted with varicose veins. Different physicians were consulted here and abroad to very little or no avail.

I am , and have every reason to be, full of gratitude to our Father-Mother God, "who healeth all thy diseases," for I have been healed of tuberculosis. When Christian Science first came directly to my notice I was in a sanitarium in Denver, Col.

For many years I suffered untold agony from a supposedly incurable organic disease which kept me in bed a considerable part of the time. I also had a growth in the breast that returned within a year after it had been removed by a surgical operation.

I WAS a volunteer during the Spanish-American war and served one year in the Philippine Islands. The duties of my position took me among all classes of people and into every condition of life.

I did not come to Christian Science for physical healing, but was drawn to it by seeing that those of my friends who had turned to it seemed to have found what I had long sought, namely, a satisfying religion. Early in life I became a member of a church, and for years lived conscientiously by its teachings.

When Christian Science came to me through a niece who had been healed after exhausting the aid of materia medica , I was suffering from a number of diseases. Some were pronounced incurable, and I dreaded a second operation.
