Testimonies of Healing

My case was a puzzle to doctors

From the December 1900 issue of The Christian Science Journal


My case was a puzzle to doctors. Having been a strong man in appearance, I seemed to be a good subject for them to experiment on. The last doctor, a good, conscientious man and one I had a great deal of confidence in, examined me and said he could not see anything the matter with me; but I knew there was, although I did not so express myself to him. He gave me a prescription and told me to try that, and if it did me no good to come back and he would try something else. I left his office in utter despair, for I had looked upon him as a last chance when the other doctors failed, but before I had finished his prescription, thanks be to God, Christian Science was brought to me, and I grasped it as a drowning man grasps a straw. I threw all medicines away, and accepted Christian Science then and there, with only a few explanations of it from one who was then only taking treatment. I began to put it into practice as I got it. I found out that the best table diet ever laid down for mankind's use, was the one laid down by Jesus, in these few words: "Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink."

I eat anything set before me without any bad results, something that I could not do before. I found that it was the human mind that wanted to be set right, and then the body would be right.

A few months later I got "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," which, with the Bible, has been my constant companion. I cannot close without expressing my gratitude to our dear Mother who has made these things possible to this age.—
