Testimonies of Healing

It is over two years since I began Christian Science treatment. I had then been nine months in England on sick leave from India, and had shortly before been told by a medical board that I had "organic disease of the liver," and that I ought to go to Hamburg or some such place for treatment.

I desire to express my gratitude for what Christian Science has done for me, through the pages of our periodicals, in the hope it will catch the eye of some poor sufferer, and bring him to the truth which makes free. About eight years ago I was afflicted with what is termed blood poison.

I think I have never so truly appreciated the value of our Journal as I did on one occasion last week. I received word to go to see a lady, who had been suffering with a seemingly severe illness for some months.

It is through the understanding of Christian Science as taught by Mrs. Eddy that I am living to-day.

My whole heart goes out in deepest gratitude to God for the benefits I have received from Christian Science, as taught by Mrs. Eddy in her book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.

I wish to express my gratitude for the blessings Christian Science has brought to me. Three and one half years ago the light of Truth dawned upon my thought.

I feel that I should express my gratitude to God for having led me to the knowledge of Christian Science, and for the many benefits I have received from it. Just one year ago I was told about Christian Science, of which I knew nothing beyond having read accounts in the newspapers of its wonderful cures.

In September, 1894, the writer, after nearly a year's illness of what was diagnosed by two physicians, as nervous prostration, was attacked by "wry-neck" or torticollis, the effect of the same being, through the contraction of certain neck muscles, that my head was twisted towards my left shoulder about as far as one can voluntarily turn one's face in that direction, and I could turn my face front only by the use of my hands, and after the hands were removed, my head would turn at once back to the unnatural position. Various drugs were experimented with in the effort to relax the contracted muscles, also electricity, and magnetic healing, so-called; finally it was decided by the physician in charge of my case, who was most devoted to my interest, that an operation might prove beneficial, and about an inch and a quarter of a nerve was removed.

For some time it has seemed clear to me that I might be able to help some one by giving an account of the benefits I have derived from Christian Science. I was for eighteen months troubled with a constant hacking cough, much expectoration, throat and lung trouble, short breathing, as well as asthma.

Eight years ago I suffered with cramp, also from choking sensation. Seven doctors were called in, and none could tell the name of my trouble or give me relief.
