Have been a schoolteacher for thirteen years, in constant service until three years ago. I was obliged to succumb, and supposed I should die. I was a perfect wreck, having had uterine trouble, accompanied with constipation, since womanhood began. Had periodical headaches; and for three years before I gave up, I had piles and bladder trouble a greater part of the time. Being incredulous on this subject, I investigated and studied prayerfully my Bible and your books for three months. When I went to see about taking treatment, I had on an internal support, which I had worn for five years for prolapsus and retroversion, besides an external abdominal supporter. Had used spectacles for three years for a flattening of the cornea of the eye, which was said by the doctor to be incurable. l am a strong, healthy woman today, through the efficacy of Christ's healing.
As I was born and raised, and have taught in the same ward where I now live, Bloomington, Illinois, my sickness and cure can be attested by our best citizens and the school authorities. After the time of my healing, it being known by some that I had studied, persons came to me for help. I treated more than eighty cases before I decided to give up all and follow Christ. I have treated from twenty-five to fifty each month since March 1886. My position in the city schools has been tendered me each year, with a good salary, but I have refused it.
