I feel an ever-growing sense of gratitude for the little understanding I have of Christian Science, and I also feel that I must give my testimonial in the Journal that possibly it may help some one else. Christian Science came to me nearly three years ago. I had been confined to my bed for two months, and suffered untold agony, with no hope of recovery, I had been given up by three of the best physicians in the city. My claim was kidney trouble in its last stage After everything that materia medica could do for me had failed and I was left to die, in the very last hour, when all hope had fled and I realized that the end was drawing near, a friend came to me and suggested that I try Christian Science. After consulting with my children, we decided to try it as a last resort.
I sent for a healer, one who had been recommended to me as a very successful practitioner. When she arrived I was suffering terribly. After the first treatment all pain left me. I was resting very comfortably, and could breathe more easily. On the second day I was entirely free from pain and was able to sit up in bed. I wanted to get up, but my daughters thought I was losing my mind, and would not even allow me to speak of it. The third day I felt so strong and well I could remain in bed no longer.
I managed, after a long debate, to convince my daughters that I was in my right mind, and they finally allowed me to get up.
