Testimonies of Healing

Puerperal Mania

From the August 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My daughter, Mrs. Williams, was stricken with puerperal mania, and for weeks hovered between life and death. At last she was pronounced hopelessly insane. We consulted eleven of the best physicians in the county. All gave the same answer: "She is hopelessly insane." Last of all we called Mrs. L. B. She is a regularly graduated physician, but believes all good comes from God. She said at once, she thought my daughter could be raised up; and on the thirteenth day from that time she was restored to consciousness and health. Therefore Dr. B. will ever carry with her the confidence, love, and gratitude of myself and family.

[This letter, written by Mrs. James Cook, is signed also by Mr. Cook, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams.]
