I DEEM it but justice to Mrs Eddy, the Founder of Christian Science Mind-healing, to say, that by the application of the Principle of Christian Science, I have seen almost every form of disease— most of them already pronounced incurable— healed or alleviated beyond what any material aid could do.
I will mention one case that came under my notice. A young lady met with an accident by being thrown from a buggy, and, as the physician who was called supposed, badly bruising her nose. After the bruise disappeared a lump remained, which greatly disfigured her. Physicians were again consulted. Two agreed that the bone had been broken and had overlapped in healing, and the only thing that could be done was to break the bone over again and set it anew. The young lady said nothing to the physicians, but thought she would see first what Christian Science could do for her. After the first treatment the lump began to grow smaller, and at the end of three weeks had entirely disappeared, —a process much pleasanter than having the bone broken and then set again. The physician heard she was trying Christian Science, and said it would only be a question of time when she would be back to him; that Christian Science night do in some cases but not in this one.
In conclusion, I wish to bear witness whether the price of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, and the class instruction is exorbitant, as is so often claimed. Having paid the price in full, I invested all I could. From the practical standpoint the returns of an investment prove it good or bad.
