About twenty-eight years ago I was attacked with lung-trouble. The doctors claimed that my left lung was nearly consumed; also that the right one was badly affected. I was also the victim of bone-erysipelas. I lost the use of my left side by a stroke of paralysis. It seemed as though my limbs were severed from my body, so far as the use of them was concerned.
After trying the best medical skill of the country, without receiving any apparent relief, I was induced to give Christian Science a trial. After a course of treatments by Mrs. A. P. French, of Omaha, I find myself thoroughly healed. I also had acquired the habit of using tobacco to such an extent that it seemed as if I could not dispense with it. I had used it for over forty years, but now I have no desire for it. In fact, I loathe what I once loved.
I have been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church for many years, but have found, since embracing Christian Science, a fuller and more perfect state of peace and harmony than ever before. What I call the new doctorine has given me more spiritual uplifting than any man-made creed. I am now fifty-seven years old, and feel that I have indeed been spiritually born again.
