Hoping our testimony may benefit others, and feeling it my duty toward Christian Science, I am happy to state the following.
After six years' treatment with the most noted specialists in materia medica, and spending several hundred dollars, I was cured of chronic laryngitis by Christian Science some four years ago. When I went to a healer first, it was more out of curiosity than anything else. I had no faith in it whatever and knew nothing about it, but surely thought I would be treating for six months, but after one week I was permanently healed. Also I was cured of extreme near-sightedness after wearing glasses for ten years. Our daughter fell in the gymnasium and sprained the ligaments of her back, which was discolored and bruised looking. She was brought home moaning; I at once sent a note to our healer for an absent treatment without my daughter's knowing it, and in an hour's time she was sleeping soundly. When she awoke she was as bright as could be and got up and dressed herself with not a sign of the severe fall. She also later took a cold and lost her speaking voice completely for five days, when she took one treatment and spoke aloud from then on. My husband was cured of severe spells of stomach trouble and sick headaches which had troubled him for years. We can positively testify to permanent healing of neighbors, of locomotor ataxia, consumption in its last stages, and cancer at almost the dying hour by Christian Science. We have not had a drop of medicine in our house for three years for our own use, and through careful study have found Christian Science to be only Christianity with good common sense, nothing odd at all about it. We have Science and Health and "Miscellaneous Writings," also the Journal, Sentinel, and Quarterly, and take great pleasure in them. We attend the Mother Church in Boston.
We extend our gratitude and love to dear Mrs. Eddy and our healers, both in Chicago (our former home) and in Boston, for we now feel that we understand through Christian Science to live a healthy, just, and happy life.
