I Was asked by a friend to go and see Mr. I—, and to speak to him about Christian Science, with a view to placing his wife under treatment. She had suffered many years from a disease, the nature of which I did not inquire into, but which caused intense pain. The doctors had administered morphine constantly, and were still doing so, so much so that the brain was perceptibly affected, and a kind of nervous affection of the muscles had also resulted.
I went and talked for a time with Mr. T—, who said it would be impossible to leave off the morphia, but that he would like me to see his wife. She was brought into the room, and I remained with her perhaps ten minutes, trying to present something about Christian Science to her as simply as possible. I then left them some Journals, and went away.
The matter then passed completely from my mind, and it was not till several months had elapsed that I met unfriend, and remembered to ask her about Mr. and Mrs. T—, Her reply was, that she had often meant to let me know that from the moment I left the house, Mrs. T—had improved in every way. The morphia was left off, and she was quite well. A third person who was in the house at the time, and whom I never saw, has said that it certainly was most remarkable, that from the time "that Christian Scientist" had been there, Mrs. T—had steadily recovered. — London, Eng.
