Like many others I had heard of Christian Science, but had only been told ridiculous things in regard to it, so had given it no attention until about four months ago when a friend told me of the wonderful healing that had been done in her family.
At that time I was suffering from a serious trouble which I had had for six years. During that time I had been unable to obtain any permanent relief and was constantly growing worse.
The trouble started with an ulcerated tooth, and as the dentist and doctor could not stop it, the ulceration had extended to the jaw bone and up into the head, which produced constant discharge, pain, and soreness. At intervals of ten days or two weeks I would have attacks of neuralgia, lasting two or three days, when the pain would lie simply unbearable, and with it complete prostration and often nausea. Friends coming in at such times have said that I looked as though I could not live, my sufferings were so intense. About five months ago, the dentist said he would have to make an opening through the jaw, hoping that with the use of syringe and frequent washings, relief might be obtained, and if not, the only other help was to scrape the bone. Feeling that I would submit to almost anything rather than to suffer, I allowed the dentist to do as he wished, and although I faithfully used the washes he directed, I found no relief whatever.
