Two years ago I had a serious attack of inflammation of the bowels, which left me with a weakness which made it impossible for me to do any work without its laying me up for a day or two. Physicians said this trouble was caused by painting, which was one of my frequent occupations. During these two years there was scarcely a day when I did not take some kind of medicine for this trouble, but without any change, except for the worse. In May, 1887, a large carbuncle came on the back of my neck, directly over the spine, and no tongue can tell what I suffered for nearly a week, when I was induced to try Christian Science. I was treated for about ten days. My friends, among whom was a physician, had given me the happy assurance that I should be laid up for three months; but since the healer discharged me as cured I have walked many miles in a day, and have done some very hard work, and scarcely a symptom of the old trouble has shown itself. I have a good appetite, which formerly I did not. I owe all to Christian Science, and my good friend Mrs. Tallman.
