In deepest gratitude to God, and...

From the August 1913 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In deepest gratitude to God, and also to Mrs. Eddy, for the many blessings which have come to me through Christian Science, I give the following testimony. In July, 1910, I was taken suddenly ill with what was diagnosed as an acute form of rheumatism. Every joint was affected, and there was hardly a moment in which I was free from pain. For nine months I suffered thus, trying different physicians, but with no improvement. At last the disease was said to have gone to the heart and I was given little or no hope of recovery.

I was advised by one of the best physicians of Chicago to go to a well-known health resort and take the mineral baths, as he said medical skill could do no more for me. I went there and took a course of baths, but returned home no better. I was then sent back to take another course, being assured that three weeks more of this treatment would surely benefit me; but upon returning home the second time I was examined by my physician and told that I had better go back and stay all winter at any cost, as I was even in worse condition than before, and the disease had extended to the head.

Discouraged and heart-broken, I gave up the fight for health and decided not to try to live any longer. At this point Christian Science saved me. I was healed in three treatments of organic heart trouble, caused from the rheumatism, and in a few weeks I was entirely free from pain. Minor ills, such as a stomach affection, "broken arches," and a nervous condition, have also been met and conquered by Truth.
