While my case might not seem so wonderful as a great many cases, it means everything to me, for it has given me health, joy, peace, and love for God and man that I had never known before.
For several years I was very miserable, taking patent medicine and doing everything I could hear of, growing worse all the time. I was at last forced to take treatment of a physician, thinking I might find help in that direction.
The treatment caused a great deal of suffering. I had to take cod liver oil by the bottle to keep up strength, until I was tired of seeing a bottle. I seemed to improve for a while, but as the weather grew warmer I grew worse again. In the mean time we had heard of Christian Science, and I was advised to take treatment. I was losing faith in the medicine, seeing that it did not do the work.
