Testimonies of Healing

ENLARGEMENT OF THE HEART

From the July 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Dear Journal: During the past ten years I have had organic disease of the heart, enlargement, which at times has been so bad that I could not walk a few rods without stopping to rest. During the past two years, I have been gradually growing worse, getting relief only temporarily, by taking digitalis, so that I had given up all hope of ever being helped.

About two months ago, a friend, who was treated by a Christian Scientist, urged me to try this method. Without the least faith in Christian Science, and with no hope of getting relief from it, I consulted H. L. Dunbar, 184 Broad Street, Providence, who told me he could help me, and probably cure me.

I began to be treated, and almost immediately I could see a change for the better. After the third treatment, I could walk from the railway depot to his office, nearly a half-mile, without stopping to rest; and I have continued to gain, so that some days I have taken walks of three miles in the country, and not felt tired. I do not say I am fully cured; but I am helped, and for this I am most thankful to Christian Science. I can sincerely recmomend it to all who, like me, have been seeking after health.
