Testimonies of Healing

BOWELS AND UTERUS

From the February 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


To whom it may concern: I take great pleasure in giving, to the suffering many, a testimonial to the great benefit experienced by my wife from a course of treatment given her by Mrs. W. T. Carpenter of this city, an earnest practitioner of Christian Science, having studied under G. B. Wickersham, of Denver, Col. For a period of seven years my wife had been terribly constipated. During the last three years the bowels refused to perform their functions without the aid of a daily enema or of physic. The uterus was in a diseased state, being displaced, much thickened, and enlarged from chronic inflammatory action. The nervous system became very sensitive, and nervous prostration almost resulted.

Hesitating to treat her myself, and no competent medical aid being available, I persuaded my wife to place herself under the professional care of Mrs. Carpenter,—more, I confess, to gratify curiosity, than with hope of relief. Four treatments relieved the constipation completely. Four months have now elapsed, and daily evacuations occur without effort. The displaced uterus is in its normal situation and free from inflammation. Her general health is as good as ever. I have no knowledge of the agent that produced these effects, but my curiosity has been surprisingly gratified.
