Testimonies of Healing
A powerful , frightened horse threw me to the ground and trampled upon me, finally himself falling upon me several times, until the doctors declared I could not live because of broken ribs, crushed lungs, and rupture. They wished to take me into their care but I refused, sending for a Scientist instead, as soon as I became conscious.
Ever since I can remember I have been a poor, miserable creature suffering from first one belief and then another. Never a week passed without some trouble coming up.
Dear Sir . —I must tell you how happy we are to-night, and how much indebted to you! The hard lump has entirely disappeared after but two treatments! That it was cancer, I cannot doubt.
Two years since, my husband was in very poor health. Three of the "best physicians in the city" were called, one after another, but he continued to grow weaker, until finally confined to the bed almost wholly with nervous prostration and heart disease.
In the fall of 1888, a Christian Scientist, who had just been on to Boston to attend a primary class, on her return to Kansas City stopped in St. Louis a short time.
I was a great sufferer, and also blind. I was persuaded by a friend to try Christian Science.
I wish all the world might know of the wonderful changes wrought in my family through Christian Science. My husband had, by many physicians, been given up to die with Bright's disease of the kidneys, when a Scientist kindly came to our house and told us of Christian Science.
At the age of thirty-four I was cast off by one of the very best and wisest of matter-physicians, as an incurable consumptive, and was told to go South or to Colorado; a change of climate and scenery being the final. Six years ago I went South, and in Louisiana met a physician's wife who, a year previous in Boston, had been healed by one treatment in Christian Science.
For two days symptoms kept giving me warning of a felon coming on the thumb; gaining no ground however, till towards evening of second day. Then it became inflamed, and painful.
The last year my financial matters have been seemingly close; yet I am not discouraged. I cannot be in this glorious Truth, knowing that all things work together for good to them that love Good.
