Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." I have experienced the fulfilment of this promise of the Master in my healing through the study of our text-book, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mrs. Eddy, and desire to tell of my experience in loving gratitude, trusting that it may be as a cup of cold water given in Christ's name.
About ten years ago I was brought to California for my health. For some time previous to this I had been under the care of specialists on account of lung trouble, and it was with the hope that a milder climate might benefit me that we came West. According to the physicians' verdict I was the victim of numerous other ills, among them a painful stomach disorder and an abnormal condition of one kidney, also severe headaches, for which many remedies had been tried but with only slight relief at times. Finally this condition was declared to be the result of dislocated vertebrae.
Soon after our arrival in California I was taken with what the attending physician termed "recurrent appendicitis." These attacks were very painful and weakening, and the physician advised an operation as soon as I was strong enough to bear it, as in his opinion I would get relief in no other way. I am thankful to say that before this could be done I was led to Christian Science.
