Some weeks since, in lighting a small stove filled with wood alcohol, it exploded with a loud noise, throwing the flames over my face, into my hair, and on one wrist, I fell unconscious. My husband immediately ran to me and put out the flames. Leaving me in charge of friends in the house (who were not Scientists), he started for a Christian Science practitioner. Meantime my friends read aloud from Science and Health at my request, and as I also realized to the best of my understanding that there were no accidents in divine Mind, the suffering decreased. In about half an hour after the practitioner's first treatment, I was entirely free from any pain or discomfort, and never lost an hour's sleep.
The first morning one eye was almost closed, my face swollen and drawn to one side, and I had difficulty in swallowing. Under the treatment these symptoms rapidly disappeared, and the improvement was wonderful from day to day. My husband attended business all day, and when returning in the evening, he would look at me in astonishment, saying it was marvelous, to see the evidence to mortal sight disappear. He is not a Scientist, but could not help but marvel at the power of Truth and Love. The first two days he could not bear to look at me.
In twelve days I had an entire new skin, without scar, blemish, or disfigurement, my sight perfect, and eyebrows grown thick and natural.
