Testimonies of Healing

I always had a terrible dread of going to the dentist until at the age of fifty-three I came to the conclusion that God was no respecter of persons, and would help me the same as others who have a little understanding of the Truth. Five months ago I called on the dentist to make arrangements for having my teeth extracted and new ones put in.

Bradford, Pa. I enclose the testimony of the Rev.

In the early part of last year, I was frequently visiting at the cottage of a sick woman, and one day received a request from a girl who lived near that I would go to her. She had been an invalid for over a year, and had lately been discharged from a hospital as incurable; suffering such pain internally that she could not move without assistance.

Christian Science came to me as a light shining in the densest darkness, and as new hope springing from the ashes of the hope that had died within me. Previous to that time (April,1895), I was a physical wreck; rheumatism, catarrh, bronchitis, neuralgia, chronic indigestion, and finally nervous prostration and insomnia, rendered my life a burden to myself and others.

Hoping our testimony may benefit others, and feeling it my duty toward Christian Science, I am happy to state the following. After six years' treatment with the most noted specialists in materia medica, and spending several hundred dollars, I was cured of chronic laryngitis by Christian Science some four years ago.

I commenced the study of Christian Science in November, 1898, and can say to-day that I am a well woman. I was an invalid twelve years, afflicted with female weakness and nervous prostration, from which I suffered a great deal.

The testimonies in the Journal and Sentinel have helped me so much in times past when struggling with sickness, and now when struggling to overcome sinful self in its many forms, that perhaps my testimony may help some almost despairing one whose healing has been as slow as my own. Just three years ago I first heard of Christian Science.

I was in very poor health for fourteen years, gradually growing worse, and for the last six years of that time was a great sufferer. The physicians whom I consulted diagnosed my case differently, seeming to be puzzled over it.

When I first heard of Christian Science my life seemed very dark, as I had been a sufferer for eight years with hemorrhoidal tumors. Two years before I had gone through an operation and had four removed.

I first knew of Christian Science through my mother's healing about fifteen years ago. She was suffering from an affliction which the doctors could not name, much less cure.
