It is now six years since we commenced the study of Christian Science, and we have a great deal to be thankful for, the writer especially. Hardly had I perceived the first truths of Science, before I felt that I must quit the tobacco habit, which had been a bosom companion for over fourteen years. In less than three months' time this was accomplished, the desire for an occasional glass of something stronger than ordinary drinks also disappeared.
For several years at frequent intervals I had been subject to severe attacks of cramps in the stomach, each successive attack leaving me in a weaker condition, until my kind physician informed me that some time I would succumb in one of these attacks. The pain was always excruciating, and I could only get relief by doses of morphine and hypodermic injections of the same drug.
One treatment relieved me to such an extent that, by close study of the text-book, I was enabled to overcome my trouble entirely.
