In November, 1899, a kind friend introduced Christian Science literature to me, and after reading it, I thought, if others are healed, why not I? So I asked for a healer and was told of Mrs. F. of Lima, O. She began to treat me and in a short time the taste for tobacco and liquor left me, and thank God for it; also, many other troubles left me. After I had begun treatment the claim of the grip came to me. My people are very bitter against Christian Science. They said that I must take medicine; I could not get word to my healer, so I tried and demonstrated what I knew, and came out all right.
I am eleven miles from Lima where all my Scientist friends are. I have not had the pleasure of going to service there yet, for I can't walk. I thank our dear Mother, the author of Science and Health, for giving us such a book. I read it and the Sentinel and Journal all the time, and I know that God is All-in-all.
