I wish to testify, through the columns of the Journal, to what Christian Science has done for my little daughter Mabel, in the treatment of Mrs. J. E. Robinson, your student. About five weeks ago Mabel had a very bad throat-trouble. She rose from that, but looked pale, and complained of being lame. She gradually grew worse, until at the end of three weeks we were seriously alarmed. I called a physician, who prescribed for her, and said it was a bad case of rheumatism. I followed his directions, but she grew rapidly worse, her feet and limbs swelling badly, and her suffering becoming very intense. For three weeks we were without sleep. The night previous to calling Mrs. Robinson I was unable to change Mabel's position in the least, for she screamed if I attempted to do so. The moment Mrs. Robinson came into the room Mabel became quiet, and she has never complained of pain since. She immediately sank into a sweet sleep, and after two hours' rest sat up and had her hair combed. She then washed her own face, neck, and hands, and called for her breakfast, of which she partook as heartily as usual. Since then she has not missed a meal. After two days' treatment she went about the house, passing through the hall when the outer door was wide open and the mercury at zero. Through the fall and winter scarcely a day passed that Mabel did not complain of her bad feelings; but this error has disappeared.
