Dear Journal: I read with interest your columns; and as I have been heretofore a great sufferer, I wish to show to the public what Christian Science has done for me. I had been sick for about five years, being confined to my bed about four years, and was a very great sufferer all the time, hardly one moment without the most intense pain. I had what the doctors termed spinal, kidney, and stomach trouble, and a number of other ailments. My spine was so sore that I could not turn myself in bed. My feet and limbs were numb. My stomach would not retain anything, not even a teaspoonful of gruel. The physician said there was an obstruction in my stomach, and I could not get well.
My parents sent for Mrs. Robinson, a Christian Scientist of Hallowell, Maine. She arrived on Tuesday evening. The second day after she arrived I retained my food, and ate anything I wanted. The fourth day I was up and dressed for an hour. In a little over a week I could walk about the house, and went to ride. I improved very rapidly, and have been gaining ever since. I was not only healed bodily, but spiritually. Mrs. Robinson is doing a great work.
North New Portland, Maine.
