About two years ago I first heard of Christian Science through a lecture delivered in Jacksonville, Fla., where I had gone to seek health and strength. After being under treatment by many physicians, I was told that the only thing that would do me any good at all, would be change of climate. We decided to go to Florida, it not being very far from our home and work being offered there for my husband. We had been there nearly three months and there was not the slightest improvement, in fact, I was a great deal worse, and so wrote to my physician in Chicago. The physician wrote back to me, saying that he had probably made a mistake in sending me to Florida, that Mexico would be better.
I called on a specialist in Florida, he gave me no encouragement, and did not think the climate would help very much. After being under his treatment for two weeks, growing worse every day, a lady who had read the announcement of a lecture to be given on Christian Science that evening asked me if I would not like to go to hear it. She was not a Scientist, but we both went. She was suffering with the same claim, some lung trouble, and thought it might be something to help us. It certainly did help me.
After the lecture I felt great peace, and a few days later, learned more about this beautiful Truth by daily going to the reading room. I am very grateful to the dear friends and Christian Scientists for their loving kindness shown to me. By reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures many diseases left me almost immediately, among them catarrh of the stomach, dyspepsia, headaches, and many little troubles. Those not yet overcome I know will be as I grow in grace.
