Dear Journal.—About the first of February last, my husband was taken with a very severe belief of inflammatory rheumatism, continued to grow worse for several days, then it seemed to be settling around the heart, and we thought he might pass on at any moment. I telegraphed to Mrs. B. to treat immediately for said belief, and received answer at once: "I will treat your husband immediately; let me hear." In belief it was a desperate case at times, when the pain was in the region of the heart, his ears and nose were cold, but the Truth is powerful and always relieved. One physician in the town said, when he was taken, that he was in for six months; but in just a month he was at his place of business. During all the time he took no remedy, either external or internal, used no flannel, slept in a cotton night-shirt only, and with the window open. The first time he walked out the walks were sloppy, but he did not put on rubbers; just walked over material man; made laws that there was no relapse in Mind. I can never be thankful enough to dear Mrs. B., who was so untiring and faithful, nor to the one who has voiced (through Science and Health) this wonderful Truth to the world.—
