Nearly all the ailments that flesh is heir to were mine. Chronic constipation, liver complaint, and hernia of six years standing. Then came a general breaking down. After this came an attack of what the doctors call bronchitis, which in less than two months settled into asthma and heart trouble.
For a year I was not able to wait on myself; could scarcely walk from one room to another, and could not bear the least change of temperature. I was kept in one room all winter for tear of taking" cold. I had to give up coffee and place myself on a diet of beef extract, weak tea, brown bread, and grape-nut food. This was kept up from January to May. During this time I had two doctors and was receiving no benefit at all. I had taken to patent medicines, and thirty dollars worth of them left me worse than when I began.
The last of April I commenced to read Mrs. Eddy's book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures." I was entirely healed by simply reading the book, but the healing was very slow. Constipation was the first to give way. I cannot remember the time when I did not have to take laxatives, until I commenced to read Science and Health. I have not taken one drop of medicine since.
