Testimonies of Healing

For a long time I have thought I would like to testify...

From the February 1902 issue of The Christian Science Journal


For a long time I have thought I would like to testify to the great benefit that Christian Science has been to me and my family. The first and greatest demonstration we have had was the healing of my daughter two years ago, who had had bladder trouble from birth, which was not helped after having four doctors who did all they could; one doctor telling me that if she was not cured soon, it would be serious. We sent her to a sanitarium, where electricity was applied, and after spending six weeks there, she came home, but was even worse than before As she grew older a complication of diseases appeared, which was indeed serious, threatening to make her an invalid for life. In addition to these troubles, she had enlarged tonsils which caused deafness and severe earache, for which we consulted specialists and had her throat operated on, but to no effect, as the tonsils grew again. Her breathing was so hard, that one evening a friend who heard her from downstairs said to me that she would be afraid she would choke before morning. We could see she was wasting away and could not live long in such a condition. In despair we decided to try Christian Science, but only half hoping she might be helped. The first treatment was given, one Monday evening, and the healing of bladder and internal troubles was instantaneous. The tonsils and deafness all disappeared by Friday, so that one week of treatment cured her entirely. She is now fifteen years of age and the picture of health and happiness, enjoying her studies at school, being first in her class last term. I could write pages of demonstrations we have had in our family during the last two years, and cannot thank God enough for the blessings which we have received through the understanding given us by Christian Science.—
