Through Christian Science, I have been healed of many ailments, the principal one was lameness caused by striking the knee cap against a sharp surface. I suffered a number of years with it, and was treated by different physicians, getting only temporary relief, if any. The trouble would, after treatment, return worse than before. One day, a friend called to tell me about a Christian Scientist who was visiting in Fall River. She told of some wonderful cases of healing performed by this lady.
I was anxious to try anything that would even give me relief, though, until the practitioner came, I felt it would be like everything else. When she talked to me in her kind way, I knew that I had never met with anything just like Christian Science; so I made arrangements to commence treatment the following week, and in three weeks I was able to go up and down stairs without cane or crutch and without suffering, and all other troubles vanished. One serious one was, as my doctor said, a very bad condition of the lungs, which, being hereditary, would terminate fatally.
My father, seeing the great change in me, and being in very poor health, asked the practitioner to treat him. She took his case. He was treated at one time for pneumonia in its worst form, and pleurisy on both sides, so he could breathe only in gasps. The practitioner was called, and after a very short time the pain and fever disappeared and he could breathe freely and called for food.
