In January, 1908, my wife was operated upon for a rapidly growing and malignant form of disease. Three excisions were made. Underneath one a tumor was found and removed. The operation, by a chief surgeon and four assistants, with four hospital attendants, consumed two and a half hours. The specimens were examined by the highest authorities, and pronounced epithelioma. Before the wounds were fairly healed, the growth rapidly reappeared, with incidental pain and malignant appearance. After examination, the surgeon declared that another operation was necessary, and that immediately. This my wife positively refused to undergo, stating that when she could no longer endure the pain she would jump in the lake.
My grandfather and his sons had all been surgeons, and for a number of years I devoted all my time to surgery, and up to this time I had never known of a case of this disease being cured by anybody, anywhere. I had no hope of staying its progress, and was in utter despair concerning the matter. By a casual friend I was advised to try Christian Science, and was told of a practitioner, to whom I appealed for assistance. He told me to have no anxiety over the matter, and assured me that my wife would be healed and would be perfectly well again. I brought her to see him. The pain soon left her, and she was able to sleep at night for the first time in many weeks. The malignant growth gradually dwindled away and disappeared; the parts became healthy and healed, and she is now as well and strong as ever.
For eighteen years I suffered from an injury received in battle, and carried a heavy cane, while walking. Since the time of the incident related above, I have been healed, the lameness has gone, and I have thrown away my cane. I wish to emphasize the fact that my healing was effected through the treatments given to my wife. In this connection I feel impelled to relate another demonstration, a case of malignant growth which was healed by the same practitioner in one treatment.
