I was burdened with constipation for twenty-six years. It was in every way disastrous to me except that it at last brought me to a knowledge of Christian Science.
I had been under the care of thirteen doctors all these years, and was reduced to a walking skeleton. In the wake of my bowel trouble came dyspepsia, Bright's disease, a tumor, a stricture of the rectum for which I endured a painful operation. At last, paralysis seized me, even to the loss of speech. After the attack of paralysis I was forced to learn to talk as a year-old child learns to talk.
During the last twelve years, I took medicine daily to secure a movement of the bowels. Since the paralysis, six years ago, I had confusion of the brain and tongue up to the time of beginning Christian Science treatment.
