SPINAL AND BRAIN DISEASE

Dear Journal: At Council Bluffs, in September 1884, I was taken down with nervous prostration, which ran into paralysis, softening of brain, and spinal-trouble; and in July, 1886, I became bedridden, unable to move hand or foot. I found out that medicine did me no good, and had given it up. My wife heard of Christian Science, and got Mr. Filbert to come and treat me. In forty minutes I was up and walking. Although I knew nothing of Christian Science, I often thought there was such a cure coming. I had begun to understand that the mind was apart from the body; and when Mr. Filbert remarked that "All is Mind," I said, "Then God is Mind;" and on that principle I am healed. Without any further teachings, I was able to demonstrate; but was so anxious to know more of God, that I went into Mr. Filbert's class in November. After coming out of the class, I felt it my duty to follow the teachings of our Master, and removed to Des Moines. Will send you some testimonials from those who have learned the Truth through me. Yours,
M. A. ELLIOTT.
Des Moines, Iowa.
