Testimonies of Healing

INTERNAL DISEASES

From the February 1888 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Mrs. M. B. G. Eddy: For years I had very poor health, and suffered from dyspepsia and constipation, which caused very severe headaches. Four years ago I had an attack of hemorrhage from the lungs, accompanied by a very severe bronchial trouble and cough, which did not entirely leave me. My stomach was so weak that many times I could not take food or medicine, though I had taken forty bottles of cod-liver oil. My diet was almost exclusively of beef-steak and hot water. My kidneys were badly affected. I had other troubles, which were very weakening, and I had worn a support for nine years. I was not able to leave my bed.

Last January I met Mrs. M. E. Tallman, and took treatments from her during the winter. I had never heard of Christian Science, but tried it as a last resort. I commenced to improve immediately. The day I took the first treatment I ate such food as was prepared for the family, and have done so ever since. I have gained eleven pounds in weight.
