Testimonies of Healing

When only six years of age I was taken with epilepsy

From the January 1901 issue of The Christian Science Journal


When only six years of age I was taken with epilepsy. We sought first one doctor, then another, for help, but there was none, I suffered not only from the fits but other diseases took hold of me. For weeks at a time I would be perfectly helpless with rheumatism. Add to all this two operations which brought no relief, and does any one wonder that for me life seemed a mockery? One day about four years ago my husband stopped at a neighbor's and found them rejoicing over the recovery of their daughter, who had been deaf for fourteen years, and now had received her hearing through Christian Science. Upon learning what had healed her my husband hastened home with the good news that he had at last found something that would heal me. Full of hope that it would be even as he said, we went to the healer who had brought back the girl's hearing. In two weeks' time I was perfectly well, and from the first treatment there was no return of the fits. It has been four years since I was healed and I am well and strong, able to do any amount of work, to the amazement of my friends who knew of my condition. I am now a member of the Mother Church, and my heart overflows with gratitude to Mrs. Eddy, who has taught us how to know God and be free. I am also grateful to my healer who was instrumental in bringing me health.
