Christian Science was first brought to my notice about three years ago. It found me a confirmed invalid, having been under the doctor's care more or less for twenty years. I had a chronic bowel trouble, my heart was affected, and every winter I was afflicted with a severe cough, and was also very lame. I had worn glasses for many years and one eye was nearly blind. A boil came over the right eye when I was eleven years of age and from that time I was never able to see much with that eye; at times it pained me, causing intense suffering. Ten years ago a Boston specialist told me it would never be any better and in time the other eye would go the same way and it was liable to end in blindness.
After reading Science and Health for a time and taking Christian Science treatment, I noticed that I could read but a short time without taking off my glasses and rubbing my eyes. This kept up till I discovered that it was not my eyes but the glasses that were hurting me. I took them off and found that my eyes were all right, and now, at the age of sixty, I can see to sew and read the finest print without glasses, and the right eye is nearly as good as the left one.
At this time came the knowledge that the cough, heart trouble, and bowel trouble were healed. I never knew when they left me. The lameness has been the slowest to yield, but it is better; and having been helped so much in other ways, I feel sure the lameness will leave me as the other troubles have.
