For more than fourteen years I had suffered from an injury...

From the February 1890 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For more than fourteen years I had suffered from an injury received in falling backwards from a wagon, which opened a joint in my neck and injured the spine, causing almost constant suffering. Nervous prostration, partial paralysis, rheumatism, uterine trouble, and numerous other beliefs made life a burden. During this time I had tried almost everything in the line of medicine without receiving any lasting benefit. We heard of a Christian Scientist of Traverse City, Mich., who was visiting in the neighborhood. I went to see her, and commenced taking treatment and am cured. I had not for a long time been able to walk any distance; but can now walk a mile or more without fatigue, and can work around the house all day without tiring out. My husband also took treatment of Mrs. A. for cancer on nose and eye of more than twenty-five years' standing, which was eating very fast when she commenced treating. Nearly all were absent treatments, but in less than three months it was killed. About that time his horses ran away and threw him headlong to the ground. His face and head were both badly cut and bruised, and one shoulder was dislocated. We sent for Mrs. A. who came and gave him one treatment. In less than half an hour he felt the joint slip into its proper place, and he could raise his hand immediately. In two weeks the cuts were healed and the soreness gone; so that he commenced work in his saw-mill and has rolled logs and done as much hard work as any of the men. We feel that our lives have been spared by the goodness of God, through Christian Science. I have now taken the Primary Course, and feel it my duty to devote as much of my life as can be spared from duties I owe my family, to that noble cause. May God's choicest blessings rest upon its Uncoverer.
