It is now about four years since the Truth was permitted to enter into my household. During this time its blessings are many, too many for even a Journal testimony. The opening wedge of Truth was a cure of constipation with which my wife was afflicted as far back as she can remember. Although the complaint had become chronic, she was healed in a few treatments, and perfectly so, with never a recurrence.
A short time after this a baby boy was born in perfect harmony. This beautiful condition can only be appreciated by one who has experienced a like condition under materia medica. which in our case resulted in the loss of our first born and left my wife in a condition of almost absolute invalidism, requiring operations, etc., and little hope for future happiness. This boy is now a picture of health and happiness with never a drop of medicine of any description, notwithstanding a list of the various trials of babyhood, such as measles, etc.
The crowning blessing to myself was the complete healing of a rupture of over twenty-five years' standing, which had at the end become so aggravating, that neither trusses nor other appliances were of any avail. My discomfort was great, sometimes totally disabling.
