A little over four years ago I began the study of Christian Science. For more than ten years prior to that time I had been under the care of different doctors, some of them specialists, on account of a throat affection and a cough, accompanied by pleurisy in a very serious form. This throat trouble resulted in abscesses in the ear. These, the doctor said, had punctured the drum four different times, and the treatments for that trouble were terribly painful. Finally the doctor said he could no longer help me, and I was ordered to Arizona for the winter months. That climate relieved me for a time, but early the next fall the cough returned with even greater severity, likewise the throat trouble with hemorrhages. One morning I was on the verge of going back to this doctor for relief, as I was suffering acutely, when the thought came to me to try Christian Science, for I knew I would only be ordered away again. I visited a practitioner and within a week was healed so that I could lie down in bed instead of being bolstered up with pillows.
Words poorly express my thankfulness, not only for the physical help but for the understanding I have gained of God and His relationship to man.— South Bend, Ind.
