Questions Answered

A man hath joy by the Answer of the mouth.   Proverbs.

From the November 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal

This article was later republished in Miscellaneous Writings 1883-1896: Mis. 88:27-90:20


Is it right for a Scientist to treat with a doctor?

This depends upon what kind of a doctor he is. Mind-healing and healing with drugs are opposite modes of medicine. As a general rule, drop one of these doctors when you employ the other. "A kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation."

If Scientists are called upon to care for a member of the family, or any friend in the belief of sickness, who is employing a regular physician, would it be right to treat this patient at all; and ought the patient to follow the doctor's directions?
