Mr. Editor: Have you space in the columns of your Journal where I may add my testimony for the cause of Christian Science. For the past ten years, I have been a great sufferer. Six years ago last June, I received a very serious spinal injury during childbirth, and since that time I have not been an hour free from suffering. At times the pain has been terribly severe. I have tried a number of physicians, and all have told me there was no help for me, and they never could relieve the pain; but, thank God! I have found relief at last, through the treatment of Mrs. M. J. Davis, of Fitchburg. When she began treating me, in October last, I had endured nervous prostration for two years, and for nearly seven months had been confined to the bed. I also had a bad lung-trouble, and a nervous affection of the heart. My stomach was so weak that for weeks at a time I could not bear any nourishment, and a spoonful of gruel caused great distress. I had nervous fever every day, and every nerve in my body ached. I had had very severe hemorrhages for sixteen months, and each month they seemed to grow worse. I was cured of that trouble in about ten days' time. The third day I was cured of constipation. For seven months had been able to sleep but very little, and did not average two hours' sleep out of the twenty-four. The doctor had tried every remedy to produce sleep, but all failed. After the first treatment I rested more quietly, and continued to gain. My cough has disappeared. I can eat anything I wish without distress, and can walk quite a distance. I never can forget what happiness Christian Science has brought to me. The doctor had told me and my friends that I could never get well; but hearing of several remarkable cures Mrs. Davis had wrought, I decided to make one more effort for Life; and today I am able to do the work for my husband and two little children. I suffer but little pain, and am still gaining in health. There is much more I might state about my case, but fear I shall take up too much space in your Journal.
May you all be blessed in your good work, is the wish of your friend,
Leominster, Mass.
