I had been sick from childhood, and for eighteen years had suffered more than tongue can tell. My case seemed rather slow of healing, although I received help from the first, and I am sure I needed this slow and steady growth. I think it has been about fifteen years since I heard of Christian Science from a dear friend who had a few years before asked me to try the very best medical aid our state could afford, which we did. A few years later this same friend requested me to try Christian Science. I was not yet ready to try it so we still kept on with our two home physicians, both well educated men, one having a state reputation both as surgeon and medical practitioner. When he came to the place where he could do nothing more for me he advised my husband to take me to the mountains, and at the same time told my near neighbor that it was only a matter of a very short time with me, saying there was no help for me, as I had cancer of the stomach. Our other home physician said I had chronic catarrhal condition of the stomach and bowels, or gastritis.
Even after all this I carried my case to my girlhood home in southern Indiana and placed it before two very fine physicians, one of each school. I first tried the allopath and later went to the homœopathist, but grew worse very fast. I came back to my home in Ashland, Neb., a small town located half way between the two cities, Lincoln and Omaha, where we are now staying for a time, trying to interest others in the good work. I was made ready and willing to try Christian Science, and found my help right near at hand. Since then we have had some beautiful demonstrations both for ourselves and for others, even before we fully realized what Truth had done and was still doing for us.
