In the spring of 1898 a lady told me how she had been helped by Christian Science, and through her testimony, I was led into Science.
I was very ill at the time, the result of an accident which occurred years before, having been thrown from a horse, and receiving internal injuries, from which the doctor said I would suffer all my life. Following the accident came short attacks of sickness and pain. My stomach, kidneys, and gall bladder, were much weakened from inflammation. As I grew older the attacks were more frequent and more severe, until I never was really free from pain.
One doctor after another was tried, but all they could do was to give morphine. The physicians were all very kind to me, and I shall always be grateful to them, but they could not heal me. The last doctor I had, told me never to eat potatoes in any way, nor fresh bread. The few things I could eat, did not agree with me. I can never tell anybody the sufferings I endured from pain and weakness, yet I clung to my God, feeling sure that He loved me.
