I should like to say how deeply grateful I am for what has been done for me through Christian Science. Fifteen months ago I was suffering intensely both physically and mentally. For four years before this time, I had had a great deal of pain in my eyes and had what three oculists told me was one of the worst cases of astigmatism they had ever seen. I wore glasses during all this time, prescribed by the different oculists and suffered intense pain all the while. The doctors said this was because the muscles did not relax at all, even during sleep.
While in this condition there came to me, suddenly, the death of a very dear one. This was a blow I felt I could never rise above and in the weeks following I lost ground physically every day, and began to lose all desire to regain it. I lost about seventeen pounds in less than two months, weighing finally about ninety-eight pounds. Many physical troubles developed at this time, which, added to the pain in my eyes and my mental suffering, made me so weak and miserable that I often longed for death myself.
After three months of this condition, I was finally persuaded to try Christian Science, although I had no faith in it whatever. My eyes were completely healed in one treatment and after three weeks of treatment all the other troubles that had given me so much pain had disappeared. I was also made to realize the beautiful truth that there is no death, for all is Life, and that God does wipe away all tears and does comfort those who mourn.
