I was healed of stomach trouble of many years' standing by reading Science and Health. My condition had reached the stage in which I had periodical attacks, that came on with greater frequency. I was a traveling salesman, and it was a common occurrence for me to have to call a physician to my hotel to administer morphine for an acute form of this disease. This became a regular thing at certain places, and these attacks always left me worse than before. As a result of the last one I lost a great deal in weight. I had tried many physicians and most of the usual remedies during these years of suffering, without any good result. Finally, as a last resort, I decided to try Christian Science, and I was healed by reading "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy. After being healed I gained fifty pounds the first year, and was also healed of eye trouble, for which I had used glasses seven years. The tobacco habit, of many years' standing, was also cured almost instantly, and I have never since had any desire to smoke.
My health has been of the best since I was healed, now six years ago. I have never missed a meal in that time, nor been an hour from my business. In the family we have depended entirely on Christian Science for our healing, and have ever found it efficacious. We consider the physical healing, however, only incidental to the understanding of God and His goodness. This, together with our increased love for the Bible, is proving more valuable to us than anything we had ever hoped to find. We are humbly trying to live the lives that will prove our gratitude to God, and to our beloved Leader, Mrs. Eddy.
