Having received so much benefit from Christian Science and it being nearly four years since I first became interested in it, I feel it my duty to send some of the demonstrations I have had, for the benefit of others. I had tracts sent me three years before I became really interested. I found them entertaining to read, but did not think they were of any special benefit to me. I was ill at the time and went on from a bad to a worse state of physical health, employing numerous doctors, each one telling me a different story, until I was in despair.
At the time I really became interested in Science, I was waiting for two dollars and seventy-five cents worth of medicine to be put up, and went to a dear friend's until the prescriptions were filled. This friend was then being helped by Christian Science. She told me to go home and try my medicine, and if I found it did not help me, to come to her and she would tell me of something that she thought would. I did as she told me and found the medicine did not help me; so one morning I took my little girl and went to this friend's. I stayed a week, and during that time threw all my medicine down her sink. Only once since have I taken any, and that was after my baby was born. My husband, not being a Scientist, was full of fear and insisted on my taking a tonic. I did so, though I might just as well have taken so much water, as it had not the slightest effect on me.
Then came a dreadful struggle with error. I had such an intense fear that if it had not been for the dear Scientist who so patiently and kindly helped me, I don't know what I might have done.
