In January, 1896 I was induced to take Christian Science treatment for eczema, from which I had suffered for nearly a year, during which time I had been in a hospital six months without any relief. Through the influence cf a nephew I commenced treatment with a Scientist, but with great misgiving. I faithfully took treatment for about three months before I obtained any relief, but about the end of that time. O what joy! the disease gradually disappeared, and in a few more months I was entirely healed. While in the hospital previous to taking Science treatment I suffered considerably from pain in my side, and was told by the doctors that I had a tumor caused by the dregs of eczema, and that if I were younger they would perform an operation on me and remove it; but as I was so far advanced in years (being at that time in my seventy-sixth year) I would only have to wait until the Lord saw fit to take me, and to bear the burden as best I could.
In March, 1899, I was seized with complete collapse of mind and body for several days, and was threatened with paralysis. After having about a week's treatment, the tumor passed from me, a mass of putrid flesh. I rapidly gained strength from this time forward, and have been in better health than for twenty years previous. Words fail to express my gratitude to God for the great blessings I have received through Christian Science. My heart overflows with love to the Scientist who so faithfully treated me. I am now in my eighty-first year. I never tire of reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," also the Journal and Sentinel, they being my constant companions.
