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.

A Heavy Fall

"And ye shall know the Truth, And the Truth shall make you free. " We hear the inquiry, What will Christian Science do in case of accident? the theory sounds well, but the application is what I want.

Felon Cured

Dear Journal :—I take great pleasure in acknowledging a thorough cure of a bone-felon, on the index-finger of my left hand, by a single treatment from Miss Sara Emma Grey, of this city. I had suffered for nearly three weeks with excruciating pain, and had two doctors.

Carbuncle

Dear Mrs. Eddy: It seems like "hiding light under a bushel" not to let others know what Christian Science has done for me.

Nervous Prostration, Alcohol, and Tobacco

Dear Journal : Let me mention the case of a man addicted to the use of liquor and tobacco in great excess, especially the latter. The belief in liquor was dispelled in less than a month: and the belief in tobacco, seemingly much harder to yield, has at last given way; and to-day the man stands "clothed and in his right mind," to the delight of all who know him.

Bed-Ridden Thirteen Years

The many friends of Miss Emma E. Davis, of Auburn, are much rejoiced to hear of her recovery from a severe illness, which has confined her to her bed for thirteen years, during which time she has been attended by some of our ablest physicians, who have pronounced her case incurable.

Chronic Rheumatism and Complicated Disease

My Dear Mrs. Eddy : Having read some of the testimonials published in the Christian Science Journal, from those who have been healed by treatments under Christian Science, I became strongly impressed that I ought to bear my testimony to the remarkable redemption I have experienced through the treatments of one of your students, Mrs.
