Before taking up Science and Health to read, I was a chronic sufferer from catarrh. I had consulted several physicians and in my case they all agreed that change of climate and nothing else would relieve me.
Some six years ago I took up this book, which I thought at that time was written solely to bolster up a system of faith healing which I then supposed Christian Science to be.
Having been raised in the Jewish faith, I did not recognize Jesus Christ in any other light than as having been a very moral teacher with impossible ideals, and a very successful deceiver. You may know by the above that I had no faith at that time in anything with the word Christian attached to it.
