With no attempt to state in detail the blessings I have experienced from Christian Science, I submit, in brief, the following testimonial, with the earnest desire that it may lighten the burden of some who are yet in deep bondage to material sense.
Christian Science was first presented to me by my mother, who, knowing my dire distress, physically, kindly asked me to read a copy of the Journal. At this time I was a resident of the city of Rochester, N. Y., and my case was soon in charge of a Christian Science practitioner who is a student of our Leader, the Rev. Mary Baker G. Eddy. This was in the spring of 1898. I was suffering from a complication of diseases, one of which was an aggravated form of nasal catarrh.
It may be helpful to some to learn that my healing has been slow, although a steady gain has been perceptible almost from the first. At the end of two years' treatment for my first ailments I had a severe attack of paralysis of the left side. This seemed to affect the leg, arm, hand, and fingers to the extent of rendering them totally helpless.
