Testimonies of Healing

A friend has asked me to write my experience for the Journal and I am very glad to do so if it can be of benefit to any one seeking for health and happiness along the lines of Christian Science. I was in "bondage to the flesh" for many years, suffering intensely from rheumatism.

It would take too long to enumerate all the ills I had when I began treatment. I had been almost an invalid for years.

About a month ago I was trying to shut a very stiff window. I pushed and pushed as hard as I could.

Almost my first experience in Christian Science was the healing of astigmatism, for which I had worn glasses for years. After receiving less than a week's treatment I removed my glasses and have had no further use for them.

The work is considered very unhealthful, and fear of being poisoned had caused me to give up my position and seek something else, so I was working for the Llewellyn Iron Works in Los Angeles.
