Testimonies of Healing

Verification of Healings

These healings are verified by people who can vouch for the testifier or who know of the healing. Examples of Christian healing from individuals and families around the world have been published in the Christian Science periodicals for well over 125 years.

EYE-INJURY

For the public good I give this instance of cure of the eye: The white had been pierced with a bean-blower, but was successfully treated in Christian Science, and no trace of injury left: and this was done, despite the protest of a physician, who declared the result would be disastrous if the eye was not submitted to surgical treatment. M.

DROPSY OF THE HEART

Dear Journal : I wish to write a few lines for the benefit of the sick and suffering, and to let all know what Christian Science has done for me. I have been an invalid for eight years, and have suffered untold misery.

CASES OF CHILDREN

My dear Teacher : Thinking it may be of interest to you to know something of my first work in Christian Science, I describe one or two demonstrations. A little child of one of our neighbors was taken strangely ill, a few mornings since.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Dear Mrs. Ingalls : I take pleasure in acknowledging myself cured of Bright's Disease.

LONG DREAMING

We hear pleasant news from a Boston Scientist. A patient of his, confined in bed for eighteen years, writes to a friend in Boston: I am going to have some stockings and shoes, and shall go out-of-doors.

LAMENESS AND SCIATICA

About thirty-six years ago I was kicked on my knee by a horse, and was kept in bed by the doctors about eighteen months; and this made a cripple of me, the injured leg being at least three inches shorter than the other. The doctors said the trouble was white-swelling.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE HEART

Dear Journal: During the past ten years I have had organic disease of the heart, enlargement, which at times has been so bad that I could not walk a few rods without stopping to rest. During the past two years, I have been gradually growing worse, getting relief only temporarily, by taking digitalis, so that I had given up all hope of ever being helped.

MORPHINE AND TOBACCO

I have been cured of a morphine habit, of twenty-five years standing, by Mrs. Lottie Salls, a Christian Scientist of this place.

EYES RELIEVED

Dear Madam : About seven years ago, I was compelled to go to an oculist, and have an operation performed upon my eyes. He fitted me with glasses, which I wore for a considerable time, and then removed; but the pain and difficulty returned, and I was obliged to go again to the oculist, who advised me never to take my glasses off again.

WORCESTER

Dear readers of the Journal : I would like to say a few words in favor of Christian Science. Two years ago I was suffering from nervous prostration.
