Testimonies of Healing

MORPHINE AND TOBACCO

From the July 1887 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I have been cured of a morphine habit, of twenty-five years standing, by Mrs. Lottie Salls, a Christian Scientist of this place. The morphine was injected into the system, and the habit had assumed such proportions that I required eight and ten grains daily. The desire for the drug was destroyed in four days. My case had long been considered hopeless by many physicians. My friends were in despair, and it was thought that any time the fatal overdose would be taken. The habit was acquired during the war, when I served as a drummer-boy. The treatment at the same time also destroyed a desire for tobacco, which had been established many years. I feel now like a new man.
