I want to express my gratitude for a demonstration I had recently in overcoming the fear of having dental work done. I took the dentist's chair at half past nine in the morning and did not leave it until one o'clock. The dentist was working on a back tooth, removing two fillings and replacing them with one larger gold one. After he had finished excavating, there seemed little left but the roots and side walls, although it was a live tooth. For over two hours and a half he pounded gold into the tooth, and during the three hours and a half in the chair I experienced no pain whatever.
When it was finished, the dentist congratulated me on my behavior during the ordeal, which he considered a most trying one. I assured him that it was absolutely painless and wholly due to Christian Science that I was able to behave so well. He became interested at once, and said he had heard and read a great deal about Christian Science, and had obtained our reading room address from some one and he intended to purchased the book written by Mrs. Eddy.
Seven years ago I began the reading of Science and Health; at first it was not my intention to study it, but while reading it numerous diseases which several doctors failed to relieve were healed one after another, all unconsciously, until I discovered that I felt perfectly well and was well. I then began studying the book and Bible, and continued for three years. At that time I took class instruction, and I can truly and gratefully say that whenever Truth has been applied it has always proved its value, for it destroys error.— Chicago, Ill.
