For eight years I was a great sufferer. My troubles were many: tumors, kidney and bladder troubles, bloating of the limbs and the entire body, severe headaches, and bronchial trouble. Everything that human aid could do was done, but of no avail. My physician brought two of the best Detroit doctors for consultation. They wanted me as a last resort to have an operation, which I refused to have done, feeling that it would do no good; finally, a lady who had visited me through all my long illness, told me of a friend of hers living in Detroit who had been healed in Christian Science, and wanted me to try it.
My husband said if I could have the same lady that healed her friend he would have me treated, but he had no idea I could be helped. July 5, 1898, my husband brought me to Detroit. For eight weeks I took present treatment. The third day the bladder and kidney trouble were met, and I found my first relief. In three weeks I could walk with a little assistance; my ankles measured twenty-seven inches each.
My healing was very slow, owing to my medical education. I had been a medical student for two years in London, England, before my marriage. I am thankful to say that nothing but Christian Science, which is the word of God, has made me whole. Now I can walk, attend to my home duties, and realize more and more what the divine Mind is. I cannot express my gratitude to God and the word he has spoken through Christian Science for all I have realized. Ask what thou wilt, "believing," and ye shall receive.— Pontiac, Mich.
