There are many who think Christian Science treatment may be good for minor complaints, such as are often commonly called "nervous troubles," but that there is no possibility of the treatment being able to reach "real disease," such as consumption, heart-disease, tumors, typhoid fever, venereal, so-called incurable conditions, also the effects of heredity and congenital malformation, and it is to these incredulous ones that these few words are addressed.
Those of us who have seen the "glory of the Lord" in the healing of many or all the above list of ills, do not need further proof of the power of God to heal "all manner of disease," as we find recorded in Matthew, 10: I, for we know whom we have believed, and would attest our gratitude for these mercies by a life devoted to the spread of God's kingdom among men, that others might learn of the way out of bondage to the freedom of the children of God.
Three years ago a lady asked help for a belief in consumption in the first stage. Her family had nearly all passed away with this dread complaint, and she felt she was doomed, as she then had evidences that made her doctors pronounce her ailment hereditary consumption. She had also a belief in deafness. After four weeks' treatment the pulmonary trouble and deafness disappeared, and she now enjoys the best of health, and is an earnest student of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," applying its teachings in government of her children and her home.
A case of eczema of four years standing, in an elderly woman, who had used all the old women's remedies, as well as consulted the best medical talent in St. Louis, was healed by Christian Science in eight treatments.
A young lady, aged twenty-one years, who from her birth had been afflicted with incontinence of urine, so that she could never leave home, was healed in less than two weeks by the Truth as demonstrated in Christian Science. The same lady's sister was treated in Science and healed of what medical practitioners diagnosed as cancer, neuralgia, and tumor of the breast. These ladies will testify to the above statement of their cases.
I could give many other demonstrations that are quite as wonderful, proving the power of Mind over sin and disease, but space prevents this time.
Having practised materia medica nearly ten years, with the usual failures and occasional alleviations that all experience who try to get success out of inaccuracy and a system of change, I was shown the results of Christian Science treatment in my own family as well as in the family of one of my patients, and the truth of the healings was a fact that could not be gainsaid. It was then that I began to investigate the Science for myself, and have since found it to be a never-failing remedy in cure of "all manner of disease," and I am glad to bear testimony to the results of the work that has come under my observation during the last six years.
