For twenty-two years I had been a sufferer from several diseases; and had tried ten different doctors. None of them could cure me; they could only give me relief for a while, and then the medicine would have no more effect on me. Finally I came to be a hopeless case of consumption, and was given up to die, by my neighbors, friends, and husband. No one thought it possible that I could get well. They would say, "When the leaves come out, that will be the last of her." My cough was terrible, and I grew weaker every day. It seemed as if my life only hung by a thread soon to break, when the glorious news came to me that I could get well. I was treated by a young lady who had suffered from the same beliefs that I did, and who was healed of them. It is now two and one half years since I first heard of Christian Science. Thanks to God that it came to me even in the eleventh hour of my life. I can't express my gladness and gratitude to Him! I hope and trust in Him and know that He is my life. I write this from my own experience, and not from another's.— Salem, Neb.
