An elderly lady in lifting, dislocated her back. There was a loud pop and an exclamation of pain, and in a moment she looked as though she had been sick for months, so great was the pain. In a few minutes she walked with assistance to an adjoining room and lay down; she treated herself and read Science and Health most of the afternoon, and that evening walked a block to take a street car, rode a long distance, and on leaving the car, walked a block and a half, and up stairs. In a few days she was about as usual, and took a long trip out West alone. This took place four years ago, and she is still well and active.
Another case was that of a lady who had been an invalid for several years, had been twice to a sanitarium under surgical operations, and, pronounced incurable by physicians, and had been taken home to await the end.
When Christian Science found her she had disposed of her personal effects and made provision for her child. She began Christian Science treatment (absent), and in a few days was out of pain and nearly well; but improving no further, after a few weeks she visited the healer, who lived about thirty miles from her home, and the obstacle to a complete demonstration was found to be a medicine, which she had been in the habit of using as a remedy, but at this time was using only to prevent her clothing from adhering to a wound, the effect of the surgical operation.
