Testimonies of Healing
It is with a feeling of intense gratitude that I give this testimony to prove the healing power of Truth. I was a great sufferer for over three years, on account of a fall down some steps which hurt my spine and supposedly shattered the whole nervous system.
About three years ago a dear friend called on me and related her healing through Christian Science of appendicitis, although the physicians had told her that nothing but an operation would give relief and restore health. I then knew absolutely nothing of Christian Science, but had been in very poor health for a number of years, suffering from and being at that time treated for what two reliable physicians had diagnosed as an abnormal growth.
After suffering for years with asthma, hay-fever, and catarrh, supposedly inherited, I was healed through Christian Science. Three years have passed and I have had no return of it.
It is with deep thankfulness that I write this testimony. For twenty years I have been a trained nurse, and when I went to Christian Science for help I did not believe it would heal me, but I went to please my daughter, as for a number of years my health had been failing.
It is six years since I took up the study of Christian Science for the healing. At the time I was extremely nervous, suffered from severe stomach trouble, from kidney disease which was said to be tubercular, and also from dreadful headaches which (owing to the injury of a nerve during a very critical operation) the doctors said would terminate in insanity.
From November, 1909, until April, 1910, I suffered from a tubercular disease and was operated upon three times. A professor in Basel whom I consulted, besides our family physician, told me that the disease could be checked only by the removal of several ribs.
Early in January, 1900, I first read "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy.
In deep gratitude for the benefits received through Christian Science, and hoping to encourage some other poor sufferer, I offer this testimony. I had suffered for some time with a serious kidney disease, for which the attending doctor prescribed a very powerful drug.
For some time it has been my desire to give my written testimony regarding a remarkable healing which was brought about by Christian Science treatment. Over two years ago, after I had indifferently studied and followed Christian Science, I came down with poisoning in my left foot.
TWO and a half years ago, I was entirely helpless. A correction was made in the November 1911 Journal : "In the testimony of Harry Crowther, Worcester, Mass.
