Her mother presently asked her what she had said, and the little one replied: "Well, mamma, I treated him that he was ashamed of himself for saying his head ached, when God was good enough to make him all right; and when God was all, there was no headache beside Him." When she had finished her treatment she added: "Now papa, you are well, and hereafter you must talk Christian Science in this house." The headache vanished.
