Six years ago I had to undergo an operation, which did not improve my condition but rather made it worse. One day I told an acquaintance of mine about the hopeless condition I was in, for since the operation a most annoying bladder trouble had been added to my other troubles and pains, so that I had completely lost faith in medical treatment. My friend told me about Christian Science and the wonderful results which she and her family had experienced. The subject immediately inspired me with confidence; we attended a meeting, and I asked a practitioner for help. In two months' time I was healed, and both my husband and I were grateful to God and became faithful adherents of the truth.
Some nine months ago I was again taken seriously ill. I Had Christian Science treatment immediately, and my condition improved at first; but as it grew worse again, a physician was called in. After the. examination he stated the case to be a serious one, and advised an operation, to which, however, I would not consent. Christian Science treatment was continued, but the pain grew more severe, and vomiting was added; in fact, my condition was such that I often thought I could not live, but the thought that God is my life sustained me. My dear husband said to me one day that it might be a good thing for me to search my mentality and see whether I did not entertain a wrong thought which possibly held me back.
I searched my thought, and found that I had been ungrateful and unjust toward one who had been good and kind to me. After a few more treatments a fibrous growth was expelled, and very shortly after, a smaller one. My condition now improved, as the vomiting ceased, the hemorrhage stopped, and my appetite returned. I was, however, left in a very weak condition, so that the heart action at times would seem to fail, but these conditions also were overcome, and I improved daily, so that I am now well and strong. I must also add that before this disease appeared I always felt troubled; I could hardly bear to ride in an electric car, I had an aversion to my home and husband, and did not care to see any one. All these errors have been overcome through treatment in Christian Science, and today I am a buoyant, happy, and healthy woman.
