It is now five years since I came into Christian Science, and I think it is my duty to tell what it has done for me and my family. During that time I have never used drugs of any kind. I no longer look to material treatment, but seek for the divine assistance, the way Christian Science has taught me. I beg to relate my last demonstration. My son, fourteen years of age, had a claim of appendicitis and typhoid fever. I was visiting my niece in Ludlow, Kentucky, at the time, and as she did not understand Christian Science, she insisted on having a doctor to diagnose the case, if nothing more. So I consented, to please her, and the above is what the doctor pronounced it, and said if she should take the case, the first thing she should do would be to put an ice-cap on his head and sponge him every two hours. He should have nothing to eat but milk and broth for eight weeks, and he should not be allowed to stand on his feet, as that was liable to cause instant death. I dispatched at once to my husband and had my son removed home. His first meal after our arrival was, mashed potatoes, fried chicken, corn, bananas and cream. He was in bed ten days under Christian Science treatment, and is now perfectly well. I feel very grateful to Mrs. Eddy for all she has done for us.
