I remember endorsing a certificate of examination made out by an expert in Denver setting forth the loss of sight by Mr. Mosher. He was then asking for an increase of pension, having been a United States soldier. I had been a student along the line of an oculist, and had done some work in that line as an act of charity. I had examined Mr. Mosher's eyes to the best of my ability and had informed him that no operation or medicine could remove the scars on the cornea.
Some years after this, losing my health, I was induced to try Christian Science. I took treatment for five days in Kansas City, returning to Idaho Springs, Col., then my home. I earnestly took up the study of Christian Science, and Mr. Mosher was my first patient, outside of myself and my oldest boy. Mr. Mosher came first, with serious kidney trouble and dysentery. The kidney trouble vanished in one night, the other in several days. Some time after, he asked for treatment for his eyes. I had been studying Christian Science about six months at that time, but told him I would do all I could for him. He stated that he could see a team in the center of the street, but could not tell whether it was a two or a four horse team. Some months later, as he was looking out of the window of my dwelling, he located the telephone poles across two streets, also a vacant block.
I moved to New Mexico some three years later, but met Mr. Mosher when on a visit to Idaho Springs, Col. He then told me he had not used glasses of any kind since first coming to me for Christian Science treatment, and that he could read a newspaper by artificial light. I have not seen him for a number of years, but the above is my experience with the case and is written at the request of his wife.— Las Vegas, N. Mex.
