I have received so much benefit from Christian Science that it seems as though I ought to let the whole world know of it. I was afflicted with liver and kidney trouble, in fact was a distressing sight to look at, because of the yellow jaundice. I went to Boise City, to get treated by a Chinaman who was said to have cured cases that other doctors gave up. I took his medicine for a month, and was failing so fast that a friend took pity on me, and persuaded me to quit the treatment as I was surely getting no better. A merchant followed me to my hotel and left word for me to come to his store as he wished to see me. I went to the store when the merchant said, "I am not a Christian Scientist, but I have seen so many cures by them that I do not hesitate to advise you to go to a Christian Science practitioner. I think he will help you, and if you want any help come right here and I will find a few hundred dollars for you."
I thanked him, was just as grateful as if I had needed his kindness, and went to take treatment next day.
The practitioner soon found that my trouble was fear, for I had told him how shocked I was when one day on walking into a store I saw myself in a glass. I had taken on the yellow jaundice and looked as my twin brother did before his death. I had buried him two years before, and I had taken care of him over eleven months prior to his death.
