Some months ago, without my knowledge at the time I was exposed to smallpox, and a few days thereafter my professional duties called me to San Francisco. While there my physical condition was far from harmonious, a high fever, etc.. being manifest. I was at a loss to account for the conditions, and though I was stopping at a strictly first-class hotel I was constrained very soon after retiring to arise and examine the bed linen, thinking that I was being set upon by an army of fleas. One glance at my person, however, told me that I must at once look to Principle for help, as an eruption was appearing all over my body: and being a student of Christian Science, I read Science and Health practically all night. The next day I finished my business, returned home in the evening, and immediately called for Science help. On the following day the conditions seemed to be aggravated, but I was again given Christian Science treatment, and slept all night. The next morning I awoke absolutely well. Not a scar remains on my person. After the occurrences above narrated I learned of my previous exposure, and have also consulted a Christian Scientist who was formerly a regular medical practitioner, and learned from him definitely the name of the malady. Though not quarantined, I will add that I saw it was kind to withdraw myself for a time from contact with others.
I am glad to express my gratitude to the author of the "little book'," who has so unselfishly and painstakingly pointed out humanity's pathway to Truth.
Stockton, Cal.
