Testimonies of Healing

SOME nine years ago, when I was in practice as a surgeon, I first heard of Christian Science, and investigated it for the purpose of exposing what I considered to be its falsities. Soon, however, I became much interested in its teachings.

In 1910, at the close of my high school work, I was in an extremely nervous condition, and our family physician emphatically declared that I would not be able to take up a college course. I was so disappointed that it seemed as though nothing was worth while.

When I came to Christian Science I was a sick, unhappy woman, reaching out to anything that gave a ray of hope. Finally, hearing that a lady lived near our town who healed the sick without medicine, I decided to go to see her, as I had given medicine a fair trial and was nothing bettered.

It is with gratitude for what Christian Science has done for our family that I send this testimony. Our baby was cured by Christian Science treatment of convulsions and of worms.

It is with a heart full of thankfulness to God that I wish to acknowledge publicly what Christian Science has done for me. About eight years ago I was instantaneously healed of neuralgia.

I have had many proofs of God's love since taking up the study of Christian Science some six years ago. I was sick for several years, and at last, being told by a doctor that an operation was necessary, I decided to have Christian Science treatment.

I have long felt that I should testify to the great benefits I have received from the study of Christian Science. I was healed of eye trouble of fifteen years' standing, as well as of the tobacco habit; but the liquor habit was not destroyed, and was growing on me, although I did not realize it.

It has been six years since Christian Science was offered to me by a friend with whom I was staying. I had lost all hope of ever being well again, but by studying our textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs.

Gratitude impels me to give public expression to the blessings which my family and myself have received through Christian Science since we became acquainted with its teachings. About five years ago I was suddenly taken ill with severe stomach disorder, accompanied by cramps and ague, to which was added distressing neuralgic headache.

I feel it is my duty to give testimony to what Christian Science has done for us. It was in the summer of 1912 that we took up its study, and I am very thankful to God that I was led to it at the time when all other help seemed to fail.
