I Should like to tell the readers of the Journal how I was healed of consumption by Christian Science. I was taken suddenly sick in June, 1899. A healer was called, but everything did not go as I thought it ought, so I a called a doctor. He attended me until the latter part of July, when he took me to Minneapolis, Minn., to consult a doctor there. Although the consulting physician assured me that I was having the best treatment, I did not improve, and in the latter part of November the doctor told me that I had consumption, and that I had better go South for the winter, for the Dakota air was too damp. So on the first day of December my wife took me to Colorado Springs, Col.
The leading doctor there told me that I had consumption, and that he did not have very much hope for me, but would give me some pills to ease the pain, which was extreme.
Between Christmas and New Year my wife sprained her ankle while coming down stairs. It was healed in one treatment by Christian Science, and that was what opened my eyes. On the first day of January, 1900, I took up the treatment for myself. It was a struggle at first, but I commenced to gain, and on February 22 we came back to Watertown. My healing seemed very slow to me, but as Mrs. Eddy says in Science and Health, "Love is not hasty to deliver us from temptation, for Love means that we shall be tried and purified."
