Testimonies of Healing

From the August 1902 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I wish to give my testimony in regard to what Christian Science has done for me, hoping it may cause some afflicted one to turn to Christian Science for help. I had been afflicted with nervous prostration in a very bad form for over two years, accompanied with loss of eyesight. I suffered the most excruciating pain in the head as well as in the eyes, from which I could get no relief. I also had spinal trouble and rheumatism, and was troubled very much with insomnia. I had been bedfast for months, blindfolded, in a darkened room and alone much of the time, as I could not endure the sound of voices. Such was my condition when Christian Science found me, though I had been under the care of several of the leading doctors of the state, among them several specialists for nervous and eye troubles, but, like one of old, I "had suffered many things of many physicians." I had also tried different treatments that had been recommended to me, had also tried mineral springs and change of climate, "and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse," until Christian Science came to my relief a short time ago. Now my eyes are entirely well and I often walk two miles without fatigue. My little daughter also has been greatly benefited by the Truth. I wish to express my heartfelt gratitude for all that has been done for me.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the multitudes who are still in bondage to sense, and my earnest prayer is that God may hasten the day that the prophet foresaw, when "the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea." —
