I recently received a letter from a stranger in a neighboring State, saying that he had for years been troubled with catarrh, biliousness, and dyspepsia, and desired treatment. I sold him Science and Health, and commenced treating him in his absence. In seven days he wrote:
My condition has improved considerably. I now eat just what I want, and it does not hurt me. The catarrh is not so troublesome. I felt an attack of biliousness coming on last Saturday. I was so yellow in my face that two of my shop mates spoke to me of it. I would not admit it, or even look in a glass to see for myself. I went away by myself, and spent a half-hour in earnest endeavor to overcome the error, and I came off more than conqueror. In about two hours the biliousness had entirely left me.
I read the book with much pleasure and profit. It has opened to me things I had no conception of before.
A week later he wrote:—
I have much improved since I last wrote you. The error is gradually giving way under your treatment. My friends see a change for the better in my physical appearance, and speak about it. I have already gained several pounds. I read some pages in Science and Health every day, and the more I study into the truths contained therein, the more fully I accept them. I devote a little time daily to thinking over what I have read, and this aids me much.
Cases similar to the above, treated successfully though not in their personal presence, demonstrate the fact that space presents no obstacle to the application of Truth.
