I feel it a duty as well as a pleasure to tell what Christian Science has done in our home. When our second boy was two years old, he swallowed what the doctors called a deadly poison. We asked a Christian Science practitioner for help, and in a short time the child was playing again. When the doctor heard we had sought Christian Science treatment, he said we would have a dead child in a little while; but the boy is now strong and going to school.
Two years ago, when our twin girls were born, the doctor said I could not live, but we again asked for help in Christian Science, and in a little while I was much better. The doctor thought I would never walk, but in less than three weeks I was walking everywhere, and helped care for one of the other children who had a bad eruption on his leg, which was healed in one week under Christian Science treatment.
In the spring of 1909 our oldest boy, then eleven years old, was pushed over a bank eighteen feet high under a steam railroad plow. He seemed to be passing on when we called the practitioner, but he was soon asleep, and slept for four hours, after which he received another treatment, and slept nearly as long again. Then he asked to be lifted into a chair and wanted something to eat, which want was supplied. It was after ten o'clock in the evening when we laid him back on the bed, and he slept soundly until eight o'clock in the morning. He then got up, dressed himself, and walked a block and back. He is now strong and well and plays all the games that a boy of fourteen enjoys. This same boy was healed in one day of an attack of lung trouble.
