Testimonies of Healing

A little over two years ago, while living in Pittsburgh, my wife and I had Christian Science brought to our attention. We were at once interested, and bought a copy of Science and Health.

Dear Journal : — It is impossible for me to keep still any longer. In 1885, when I had not known a well day in five years, Science and Health was placed in my hands by a dear lady who insisted upon my reading it; saying she believed it would heal me.

I began work here about three weeks since, and the people are becoming quite interested in Christian Science. One of my patients was a little boy with skull fractured by kick of a horse.

I was an invalid for several years:—heart and other diseases, too many to mention, troubled me, and the physicians did me no good. Since I was healed in Christian Science, and am able to do my work, I know I have indeed found the only way through Christ to God.

When I first heard of Christian Science I was very sick in belief. The doctors said one lung was wholly ossified; that my heart was in such condition I was liable to die any moment; and that I besides, had other troubles that required surgical operation, without which I should never be able to stand or walk.

On September 15, 1887, I was thrown full length upon the sidewalk, the fall producing an ulcer. I was otherwise badly injured and suffered constantly until Nov.

In the spring of 1865 I was taken with sore eyes, my sight being so impaired that I could neither see to read nor do any fine work without the use of glasses. About two weeks ago a Teacher of Christian Science from Denver, Colo.

I was for years a poor, miserable, suffering, sinful woman. Had heart trouble; acute rheumatism, so severely I, at times, could not turn myself in bed; bronchial trouble—but worst of all! when I hadn't rheumatism I had asthma, and the constant cough prevented rest day or night, except strong narcotics were used.

Dear Journal :—The past six years has been full to overflowing of such beautiful experiences in healing the sick and suffering, that it seems like one long day of bliss, joy unspeakable. I would specially mention a few cases in surgery, to encourage others to send for a Scientist even in the event of "broken bones.

For more than fourteen years I had suffered from an injury received in falling backwards from a wagon, which opened a joint in my neck and injured the spine, causing almost constant suffering. Nervous prostration, partial paralysis, rheumatism, uterine trouble, and numerous other beliefs made life a burden.
