Testimonies of Healing

With an earnest desire to tell the world all that Christian Science has done for me I commence this communication, but pause, hardly knowing (so much is there to tell) where to begin. For many years I had suffered severely with sciatica.

Like many others I had heard of Christian Science, but had only been told ridiculous things in regard to it, so had given it no attention until about four months ago when a friend told me of the wonderful healing that had been done in her family. At that time I was suffering from a serious trouble which I had had for six years.

My thought has been full of a beautiful demonstration that I had a few months after I had begun to understand the Truth as taught by our Leader, through which I gained a better understanding of God's children. At the request of his parents I treated a little fellow three and a half years old.

When but a child I had a severe attack of lung fever. I was under the physician's care for several weeks.

A year ago last summer, word came to me of an injury a lady had sustained in falling from her wheel. I received the message in the evening, and went immediately to work.

One of my early cases was that of a lady who had suffered from an illness beginning with a congestive chill, followed by gastritis, peritonitis, and continued hemorrhages. The second time this occurred she was under the care of six physicians, who said if she ever had another attack like it, she could not live through it.

I am glad to testify that I have been healed by Christian Science. I had suffered for four years from hemorrhage caused by growths, and other female troubles.

In January, 1898, I went to Montreal and submitted to an operation, being under the influence of ether two and one half hours. I had not been well for a year previous.

My husband and I have been trying to live Christian Science for the past five years. About four years ago we had the privilege of class instruction from one of the Leader's loyal students.

I wish to give an account of some of the good that has come to our family since we began studying Christian Science. In the first place, I was treated and healed of a very serious case of eczema, and afterward of sore throat of long standing.
