Testimonies of Healing
I wish to give grateful testimony to the correctness of the foregoing statement of my mother regarding her illness in Germany in the winter of 1911. When I reached her on the evening of Sunday, Feb.
ON Thursday the 2d of February, 1911,1 was suddenly seized with all the symptoms of what is known as Bright's disease, a complaint to which, as I subsequently learned, I had been sentenced by a number of persons, including a doctor of medicine residing in the pension in Germany where I was then staying. My condition rapidly became so serious that on Friday my daughter telegraphed to England for absent treatment.

When this message of truth was first brought to me, it found me in quite a hopeless condition, having suffered from childhood with what materia medica diagnosed as lung trouble.
We were spending the summer of 1910 at Asbury Park, N. J.
It gives us great joy to tell what Christian Science has done for us. Before we understood its teaching we seemed to have our full share of trouble and difficulty.
I deem it my duty to testify to having been lifted out of severe illness in a wonderful way through the ministrations of Christian Science. I had suffered for some time with a kidney trouble, which resulted in dropsy in its incipient stages and much disturbance of the heart action.
