In January, 1894, I first heard of Christian Science. I took a few treatments and was much benefited. I then began the study of Science and Health, and to apply its teachings as best I could in my daily life.
I had a throat trouble from childhood. I would take cold easily and often lose my voice for several weeks at a time. This was not quickly overcome, but by the constant study of Science and Health, and some occasional help from a student, it was entirely overcome in about a year and a half. I also had trouble with my lungs which yielded at once to the treatment. I was born with a very severe case of catarrh of the head which constantly grew worse. This was a great trial to me, as I had it in its worst form. To mortal sense this was hard to meet, as it seemed very real to me. It has been gradually leaving me since I came into Science, until now there is scarcely a trace of it left.
Another trouble was cramps in my feet, from which I suffered intensely for many years. This was thoroughly destroyed in about two years.
