Impelled by a deep sense of loving gratitude and thankfulness for the knowledge gained through Christian Science, I hereby give my testimony to its healing power.
Since early childhood I have always had a discharge from the ears, and as I grew up I was troubled every now and then with a tingling sensation in both of them. To relieve myself of this I scraped the canal of the ear with a pinhead. Gradually my ears began to emit offensive matter until there was almost a continual outpour. They remained in this condition for about two and a half years, during which time I constantly syringed them. The discharge then ceased, but in turn I became very deaf, and all kinds of unpleasant and most irritating noises in the head now appeared. A slight draught, damp weather, or a cold wind,—and my head was choked with cold, and I was unable to hear a thing, while the pain was excruciating.
I was under the treatment of the local doctors, who told me that there was a big hole in the drum of my left ear. I was also under the treatment of an institution in London, but all their drugs were of little or no avail. Sleepless nights followed, while the continual noises in my head drove me into a most melancholy state. It was about two years ago that the glorious truth of Christian Science first came to me and I decided to take treatment. As to my hearing powers before taking treatment, I may say that at the Lest I could hear my watch ticking when three inches from my ears. I was under treatment two months and now my hearing is perfect. I can hear the ticking of my watch at several feet from my ears. All the noises are gone. I go out in all kinds of weather without hesitation and without ill results.
