Testimonies of Healing

In many ways I have tried to show my thankfulness to God for Christian Science, but I have neglected to send my testimony for publication. Now I wish to tell of some of the ills from which I have been freed.

For thirteen years I was very much afflicted nervously, and during the first few years I had to go to a sanitarium twice. While there, an abdominal fever set in; and though I was dismissed one year later, I was not actually restored, for during the following period of about twelve years the trouble asserted itself for six months every year.

Many times I have been asked to send my testimony for publication, for I was healed in Christian Science after nearly thirty years of suffering, and it seemed as if I should express my gratitude, as others are doing who are rejoicing in a similar experience. I suffered torture from sciatica; also was compelled to wear low shoes for fifteen years on account of cramping muscles, any pressure about the ankles causing unbearable pain.

It is now nearly six years since I became interested in Christian Science and bought its text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, with the thought that three dollars was all I could lose.

In the spring of 1910, the subject of Christian Science was presented to me in a very practical way. For eight weeks I had been confined to my home, with a trained medical nurse employed and an attending physician each day.

Looking back, I can see that step by step I was led into Christian Science. From childhood I had attended church.

Eight years ago I was healed of lung trouble through Christian Science. I had given up my position, and for two months had been confined to my room, most of the time to my bed.

For several years I was a great sufferer from stomach trouble. I tried physicians of both schools, and medicines of all kinds, but to no avail.

I have received so many blessings from Christian Science that I feel it my duty to tell of them. When my husband became interested in this teaching through a kind friend where he was employed, I was doubtful as to what it could do, for he was physically in a bad condition, after having tried many doctors and medicines.

The blessings which have come to me since I became acquainted with the teachings of Christian Science are many, but at present I will tell of two instances of physical healing. Two and a half years ago, while at home, I fell and sustained a fracture of the arm.
