At a time when all the world seemed dark, doctors and friends powerless to help, God very far away, and either unable or unwilling to hear, my attention was first called to Christian Science. My husband was ill and could obtain no help from materia medica. In despair and great doubt we decided to try Christian Science treatment. Bronchitis, liver and kidney trouble, dyspepsia, and other annoying, if not dangerous physical disorders, one after another gradually disappeared. A growth in the nose and throat was not mentioned to the Scientist, but this also yielded to the influence which seemed to transform the whole body, and he found to his surprise, entire relief from this, which had for years prevented him from breathing with his lips closed.
His was not a rapid case of healing; but after many weeks he was changed from a weak, discouraged invalid, to a man strong, buoyant, hopeful and courageous, instead of fearful and despondent.
The same Scientist healed my daughter of an aggravated claim of malaria, the chills recurring sometimes twice in one day. The physical healing, however, was less wonderful than the mental change; formerly a moody, unhappy child, she has ever since the treatment been full of life and sunshine, and is able to overcome her own claims, never asking for help.
