Mr. J. T. E., county auditor, is a believer in the doctrine of the Christian Scientists. He has not espoused the cause of the organization, but has, in his own family, he says, a proof which convinces him of the efficacy of the treatment employed by these theorists.
About a year and a half ago Mr. E.'s oldest daughter, Miss Bertha, was afflicted with what is known as the German measles. She became a confirmed invalid and the disease baffled the skill of Omaha's best physicians. About a month ago Mr. E. became convinced that his daughter could not live long unless relieved from her affliction, and, as the physicians of the city could do nothing for her, he decided to allow her to receive treatment from the Christian Science congregation in Council Bluffs. He had no faith in the science at the time he agreed to a trial of its merits.
The young lady was removed to Council Bluffs and placed in the hands of Mr. E., a leader of the Christian Science congregation, for treatment. She began to improve rapidly, and will soon be able to return home. She has recovered so that she is able to walk around, a feat she has not been able to accomplish before in nearly two years.
