(From the mother of a member of the "Shut-in Society.")
Yours to my daughter came to us. When she left us, three months ago, she wished us to open, and, if we saw fit, communicate with those who corresponded. Our daughter Gussie, after years of suffering and not a little expense and trouble, we were induced to and did take, speechless and bed-ridden as she was, to H—, knowing something of Christian Science, calling on Mr. H—of that city.
In a few days under his treatment, she recovered her voice, arose and dressed herself, sat at the table with the family, walked without assistance, and is now in apparently good health, and wonderful spirits.
She had been blind a part of her life (not from inheritance, however), so that she may and does appear childish perhaps, but with intelligence unimpaired.—
